The week of January 17-20 we will have outside PE. I have an Iditarod themed relay race, where the student will be delivering "medicine" to "Nome".
Students will need outdoor gear (snow pants, a good winter coat, hats, gloves, and winter boots). Kindergarten will have a full hour on Tuesday. First grade a full hour on Thursday.
The week of February 7-10 we will go snowshoeing!!!! We will be off school grounds, in the area around Community Covenant.
Students will need outdoor gear (snow pants, a good winter coat, hats, gloves, and winter boots) and a bathroom break before class. We will borrow snowshoes from Ravenwood, students should not bring their own snowshoes. Kindergarten will have a full hour on Tuesday. First grade a full hour on Thursday. I will be asking for parent volunteers. I also ask, "pretty please," for anyone available to help put snowshoes on at the beginning of the class.
GRADES 3-6

Students, staff, and members of our students immediate household are eligible to be tested from the comfort of your vehicle at our drop off/pick up curb. Results are usually back by the next morning.
You must pre-register in advance. If you have any questions, please contact the front office at (907) 742-3025.

Below are some helpful suggestions to make the registration process easier for you.
You can order your yearbook now!
If you have pictures that you don't mind sharing, you can always share them to me through FB messenger, or through the yearbook post on FB. I might set up the share site again this year, but it is probably easier to just collect them from here. You can also email them to me, but I need them to be full size.

Volunteers needed!
SHOVEL WALKWAYS: Throughout the winter we sometimes experience heavy snow fall during the school day. Eagle Academy does not employ a BPO. If you have time in your schedule to get here 30 minutes early to help shovel the drop off/pick up area, we would greatly appreciate it.
GROOM PLAYGROUND: With consistent or heavy snowfall, the gate areas at the playground could use some TLC. We are looking for a parent or two that can commit to shoveling around the gate areas so that the swing open and closed easily.
HANDY WORK: We have a few cabinet doors in the building that have hinge issues. If you have the time and inclination, our staff would appreciate having someone help get these back in proper working order.
If you would like to help, please contact Ms. Diana (dominguez_kutcher@asdk12.org) or Principal Carroll (carroll_deanne@asdk12.org) or your classroom teacher.
