Middle Academy Events
Please do not drop off students on campus in the morning before carpool. If you need to drop off earlier than 7:40, please utilize the morning WINGS service.
Middle School carpool in the afternoon does not begin until 3:15. If you arrive earlier you will be asked to go to the back of the line. Students are in class until their release time of 3:15.
Students, during carpool you are to be seated in your classroom watching the screen for your carpool number to come up. Students are not to be in the hallways, standing up within the classroom, but waiting for your number to be displayed. Parents are not to arrive before 3:20. Students are to only be dismissed by your teacher to head to carpool when you both see your number come up. Any students seen at carpool without permission or prior to release time will face disciplinary action. Thank you for following the rules that have been in place for your safety.
Middle Academy Sports
When athletes have away games please initial the roster located outside of the Middle School entrance. Do NOT enter the Middle School office unless checking out another student that is not playing sports.
When there is a home game, students need to be picked up during carpool and brought back to school for the game. Students may not linger after school.
If your student needs to stay after school before a game starts, they must go to WINGS. Students should be registered for WINGS online. An email must be sent to a WINGS teacher giving students permission to attend the sports event/game. An email must be sent each time or for each game/event.
Once students leave WINGS they need to be picked up at the game and are no longer the responsibility of WINGS. Please contact Payton Shearin at pshearin@eastwakeacademy.org for additional information.
Students are NOT to leave for sports while in transition to the next class. They may exit at the time of dismissal for that game day.
