The EWA High School Social Studies Department is planning a field trip to Washington, D.C. over our Fall 2025 Track-out. As one of the most historically significant cities in the United States, our nation’s capital is an endless source of educational opportunities. Students gain insight into our democracy while watching the three branches of government in action on a class trip to Washington, DC. From America’s highest institutions of government, to its most treasured monuments, memorials and museums, this tour has something for everyone. If you are interested in going please scan one of the QR codes that are posted around the building and complete the Google Form by Friday, December 1st. See Mrs. E.Massey if you have any questions.
EWA NEWS:
Re-Enrollment for the 2024 - 2025 School Year
Re-enrollment for the 2024 - 2025 school year begins November 6th at 8 am and ends November 17th at noon. Everyone should already have a Parent Portal setup. This is the only way to get into the Powerschool Re-Enrollment System. The Re-enrollment can only be completed through PowerSchool and only if you have a Parent Portal (username and password). Please contact Mrs. Campbell, TODAY, if you cannot access the PowerSchool Parent Portal (kcampbell@eastwakeacademy.org). Again, the deadline for Re-enrollment is November 17th at noon. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. If you do not complete the Re-Enrollment by the deadline; you will have to apply in January for the Lottery. If you know you will not be returning, please let Kim Campbell know as soon as possible (kcampbell@eastwakeacademy.org).
Once on the Parent Portal in PowerSchool, you will scroll down on the left hand side of the screen and see Registration 24 - 25. Click here and do the Re-Enrollment.
Records Request for Students:
We understand that some families will explore other educational opportunities for their child, and we are ok with that process. Please let us know what you may need for your exploration and we will help. But be advised: if East Wake Academy receives a records request from another school for your child, that child will be withdrawn from East Wake Academy for the following school year (2024 - 2025). East Wake Academy's receipt of the request is final and out of our hands legally. Please be in contact with Mrs. Campbell so she can help you. Mrs. Campbell can be reached at kcampbell@eastwakeacademy.org
