Dear Families –
Our Kids Heart Challenge has been extended to Wednesday, November 23rd! This is because our students have done an amazing job learning how to keep their hearts healthy while helping others! We've almost doubled our goal of raising funds but more importantly we had hoped to have 100% of our families learn Hands-Only CPR by completing Finn’s Mission.
Join our team today at EAGLE ACADEMY CHARTER KHC or on the FREE Kids Heart Challenge App for Apple or Android and follow Finn’s Mission in your headquarters!
YOU can make a difference! Each year, about 75% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur at home. Survival depends on immediate CPR from someone nearby. You can help save lives by learning Hands-Only CPR through Finn’s Mission!
Thank you for supporting our school and the American Heart Association! Thanks to you, more people are celebrating with their loved ones because of the difference you’ve made to help save and improve lives.
Donations Due: Wednesday, November 23rd

Gentle Reminder
You can help us maintain a positive relationship with our neighbors by not blocking in patrons of CrossFit Iron Refined, the Moving Arts Center, and the Pre-School during drop off and pick up. Several individuals have communicated that they have been on the receiving end of some explicit gestures as they try to get out of parking stalls.
Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
Spring 2022 State Summative Assessment results have been released to the public. This is an annual assessment of English/Language Arts and Mathematics skills taken by students in grades 3-9 statewide. Eagle Academy students scored very well compared to their counterparts across the district as well as the state.
AK STAR (System of Academic Readiness) is a brand new assessment developed by the State in partnership with NWEA, the same organization that developed MAP, the universal screener out students take three times a year (in the fall, winter, and spring). Having a universal screener and summative assessment linked together helps our teachers gauge how well our students are doing and how well they will do on the AK STAR assessment in the spring.
Individual student scores, will be released on December 9th and can be found in your Parent Connect portal. If you would like a hard copy print out of your student's scores, please contact your classroom teacher.
