BLUE RIBBON FIRST FRIDAY
Theme: The first Friday of every month is designated Blue Ribbon T-Shirt days. Show your school spirit and wear your National Blue Ribbon t-shirt with APB approved uniform bottoms.
ERA DAY
Theme: "ERA Day" - Dress in costume of your favorite era in history. Students not dressing in a time period costume, should be dressed in APB approved uniform.
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
Spelling lists went home with students three weeks ago. We hope that you have been spending few minutes every evening reviewing and practicing these words. 5-15 minutes a day makes a world of difference. Wouldn't it be great to have the district, state, or national Spelling be champion be an Eagle Academy student?
- Class Bee's will be on February 4, 2022
- School Spelling Bee will be on February 25, 2022
- State Spelling Bee (online)

COVID TRACKING BY SCHOOL, ONLINE
Nurse Jan is doing her best to enter the data received in real time, however, please keep in mind that in addition to entering data, she has also been testing anywhere between 5-25 individuals (students, staff, as well as parents and other household members or district employees from other sites) daily, working with families on return to school dates, as well as attending to her regular nursing duties.
COVID TESTING at EACS
We are very appreciative of your efforts to keep EACS COVID Free. Your daily at home symptom screenings have gone a long way toward keeping our doors open. For your convenience, ASD has partnered with Beechtree Diagnostics to provide COVID testing on site. 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.

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.
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.
