High School First Priority is hosting a school wide food drive for the month of November. The Raleigh Dream Center is in need of grains and rice but will also accept canned foods, cereals, and pastas. A box will be in the office to drop off your donated items. As Thanksgiving Day approaches let’s serve others in our community by providing them with a thanksgiving meal.

EWA Athletic Boosters has a DRESS DOWN DAY this Wednesday, Nov 9th. Please bring $4 on Wednesday morning in order to dress down. As a reminder, this is NOT part of the yearly dress down pass.

Middle Academy Events
**Guardians and Parents: This is for RETURNING STUDENTS ONLY. It is Re-enrollment time! Re-enrollment for the 2023 - 2024 school year begins November 7th at 8:00 am and ends November 18th at 12 noon. Every student that is enrolled at EWA will need to complete this process. Please do not wait until the deadline to start the process. Every parent should already have a Parent Portal account set up in PowerSchool. This is the only way to get into the Re-enrollment System. Sibling(s) not attending EWA can apply in January (more information to come). If you do not have a parent account for PowerSchool (username and password), or if you cannot access your account, please get in touch with Mrs. Campbell TODAY! The best way to contact her is through email at kcampbell@eastwakeacademy.org. Again, the deadline for Re-enrollment is November 18th at noon. THERE WILL BE NO
EXCEPTIONS. If you do not complete the re-enrollment by the deadline, you forfeit your students spot at EWA and will have to apply in January for the Lottery. If you know you will not be returning, please let Kim Campbell know (kcampbell@eastwakeacademy.org).
Carpool Reminder: All students must be dropped off through morning carpool. Parents cannot park and walk students up in the morning. This is for the safety of all students and families.
Carpool Preparedness: Please ensure your student is ready to quickly exit the car in the mornings. They should have their bookbags on and be ready to help speed up the process. Thanks for your help with this.
Tardies Your child is tardy if they are not seated in their homeroom by 8:15 am daily. Even if the carpool line is still running, your child will be marked tardy if they do not arrive at their homeroom and be seated by 8:15 am. Carpool begins at 7:35 each morning. Again, we will allow students to be dropped off in the carpool line up until 8:15; however, if they are not in class by 8:15, they will be marked tardy. Should your child arrive after 8:15, they must sign in with Ms. Moore at the front desk of middle academy. EWA’s Middle Academy Tardy Policy is linked.
