Parents - Driving Eligibility Certificate Eliminated for Permits
The NC General Assembly has eliminated the requirement for the Driving Eligibility Certificate (DEC) for teen drivers effective October 1, 2026, as outlined in SL2026-46. Students will no longer need DECs to obtain a driver's permit.
SENIORS
Mrs. Ray needs your help to make the yearbook one to remember. Please send a baby photo, a casual photo, and your senior quote to yearbook@eastwakeacademy.org (NOT to Mrs. Ray!) as soon as possible.
Baby photo - a photo of you as an infant or toddler, preferably by yourself.
Casual photo - a casual photo of yourself from the past year. This photo should be of ONLY you, and should not be from a distance.
Senior quote - Choose a quotation that represents you as a mature high school senior. Do not choose inside jokes or quotations with inappropriate verbiage. Your quotation may be denied.
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 a 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 doctor's note).
