Good afternoon EWA families and staff,
With the possibility of inclement weather in the coming days, we want to take a moment to make sure everyone has the information they need and time to prepare. The safety of our students, families and staff is always our top priority.
If weather conditions require us to close school, we will follow the schedule below:
If closed on Monday: Snow Day - No instruction
If closed on Tuesday: Snow Day - No instruction
If closed on Wednesday: Asynchronous Instruction (students will work independently from home)
Please keep an eye on the EWA website and our social media pages for the most up-to-date information and any official announcements.
We know weather like this can be unpredictable, especially in our area, and we appreciate your flexibility and support. Stay warm, take care of one another, and stay safe.
Warm regards,
Anthony Pirrello

Flu viruses can spread quickly in schools. You can help by practicing good hygiene and keeping students home when they are sick. Together, we can keep our school safe and healthy!
During the month of December, High School staff and students had the opportunity to nominate a student/peer who was observed displaying adaptability. We had many students nominated, and of those nominated, one student from each grade was chosen to receive a sweet treat. Congratulations to Addison Hurt, Madison Ausborn, Emma Moore, and Santiago Alston! Special thank you to the EWA Eagle Foundation who sponsored the treats for our students!
Reminder: Tomorrow is an Early Release Day.

🎄 Thanks to everyone who donated to our Shop with a Cop dress-down day! Your generosity will help the @Zebulon NC Police Department ensure that many children in need experience the magic of Christmas.❤️🎁✨
2nd graders wrote their Christmas lists, and one student didn’t ask for toys or electronics —they simply wished “for everyone to be happy and kind.” Sometimes it takes a child to remind us what the world needs most.
