Snakes Alive!!!! Students in Mrs. Pace’s Class are reading and learning about snakes during small group reading time.




My School Bucks Update:
EWA did a student upload in mid July. If your child was in PowerSchool at that time, they will show in MSB. If they were accepted after that time, then they will be added to MSB in a second upload by the end of August. In the meantime you can make payments to the school by cash or check. Sorry for the inconvenience.


EWA is open and operating on a normal schedule. Our facility was not impacted by the storm.

Save the Date - Wednesday August 30th - K-11 Uniform Yearbook Picture Day!

This link will allow parents to sign up to receive updates via email regarding their child's school portraits. These updates include promotions, additional deals and the ability to order more pictures at a later time. When entering student information, parents should be sure to enter the student's name as it is on file at the school.



Thank you to everyone that came out to Open House last night. We are excited to begin another year! The picture below was taken by Ms. Haynes and I think it's a sign of the great year ahead.



Good evening everyone.
I wanted to make you aware that we have received word there is a text claiming to be from Mr. Johnson asking you to purchase Amazon gift cards for our staff. Please disregard and block the text sender and spread the word to all our families. Unfortunately PowerSchool is down for maintenance and we can't send a message though our normal communication channels.
Have a great evening.
Anthony Pirrello, Executive Director EWA

Important information for all EWA families:


We’re excited to tell you that our school is now using a cool, new tool to help
make the back-to-school supply list chore easier for our teachers and parents—
TeacherLists.
It’s a one stop site where you can always find the most up to date supply lists and teacher wish lists for our school.
To instantly access our lists, simply click on the “School Supply List” link on our
school’s website, [insert school’s website URL here]. This will take you directly to
our school’s page on TeacherLists. Or, you can go directly to
www.teacherLists.com and type in our school’s zip code (insert school’s zip
code) to find our supply lists.
Your lists are available 24/7 from any device—even on your smart phone while
you’re out at the store (no more worrying about lost lists!). You can even
“follow” your teacher’s lists to be instantly updated if it changes.
We hope this new tool helps to make the back-to-school process easier and smoother for everyone!
