SENIORS:

Cap and Gowns have arrived!!  If you ordered Announcements or any other "Senior Stuff", it will arrive sometime in April.  Mrs. Campbell will have a table for Cap and Gown pick-up on February 15th, 16th and 17th in the HS Main Lobby during Lunch.  I will only give Cap and Gown to the designated Senior, unless I get an email stating otherwise.  Seniors, it is your responsibility to keep up with your Cap and Gown and accessories.  If you lose the Cap and Gown and accessories, you will have to buy another one.  I can be reached at kcampbell@eastwakeacademy.org for any questions or concerns you may have. 


SPORTS:

"Congratulations to the Men's varsity basketball team on wrapping up their regular season with a win over Raleigh Charter.  The team was led by Tanner Pate (17 points), Greyson Lanphere (12 points), Logan Willaims (11 rebounds).  The team finishes the regular season as conference champs for the first time in school history.  Congratulations guys!"

  • 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
