  • As you may know, East Wake Academy has been approved as a State COVID testing site for our students and staff.  We have partnered with MAKO Medical, the State vendor for our area.  We are asking that parents pre-register their students in the case of contact tracing.  Please know that you will ALWAYS be called prior to your student being tested.  Pre-registering just speeds up the process, in the event it is needed.  LINK TO REGISTER: https://home.color.com/covid/sign-up/start?partner=tf-eas-611-students
  • East Wake Academy's Lottery Application for the 2022 - 2023 school year will open January 10, 2022, at 8:00 am and close on February 11, 2022, at noon. This applies to any SIBLINGS of current students and the General Public.  Please go to www.eastwakeacademy.org and click on the "Lottery Link" on the home page or the Admissions page (OPENS JANUARY 10, 2022).  On March 9, 2022, the lottery will take place at 9:00 am in the Eagle Hall in the High School.  You will receive an email within 45 minutes of the lottery, letting you know whether you got in and what the next steps will be for you to complete.  If waitlisted (not all SIBLINGS are guaranteed admission – you are guaranteed priority in the lottery.  Admission is based on open space.), you will receive an email letting you know what number you are on the waitlist. Please KEEP this email as you can check this for updates at any time.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Kim Campbell at kcampbell@eastwakeacademy.org.


Quote of the Day

February is Black History Month in which we pay tribute to the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout U.S. history. This month, all of our quotes will be from famous African Americans.

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” ~ Michael Jordan
