Good morning, Senior Academy!
Thursday, August 27
Today is our first Dress Down Day of the school year. If you dressed down, please remember to give your $4 to your homeroom teacher this morning. Teachers are unable to make change so anything over $4 will be considered a donation. Thank you for supporting EWA Athletics.
If you are a Senior athlete, you may be eligible for the EWA Booster Scholarship. If you're interested in applying, please complete this interest form
After completing the form, an EWA Booster board member will share the application with you. If you have any questions, please reach out to Crystal Dixon (cdixon@eastwakeacademy.org).
The lost and found is also full! If you are missing water bottles, lunch boxes, or clothing - please check the box today. It is getting more full every day. Some of you are missing important items.
Students - unless you have a work from home pass or are scheduled late arrival or early release - you must sign in or out at the office if you leave- even if you are a driver.
**Mrs. Harris also needs an email from your parent if you will be signing yourself out. Her email address is aharris@eastwakeacademy.org
If you have a work from home pass, you do not need to sign in or out unless you are tardy to your next on-campus class.
Parents - when signing out your students at the end of the day, if you sign your child out before 2:30 pm, be aware that it will count as an unexcused absence for that class period (unless sick or with a doctors note).
Important Upcoming Dates:
Senior Tux & Drape Photos - September 2
Juniors and Seniors - Today from 11:15 - 12:10 Jostens will be in the lobby outside Eagle Hall to take orders. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Campbell.
