LOG YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS
When you come into the school to volunteer, or if you volunteer from home, EACS has a notebook on the front table where you can keep track of your hours. This notebook has the names of all the families in alphabetical order, so it is easy to find your student(s).
The computer on the front table does not track your volunteer hours, it is just to keep a record of who is in the building, or to sign in or out your student(s).
DID YOU KNOW...
...that you can update your phone number, email, and student emergency contact information via the ASD Parent Connect Portal?
If you need help with your PIN and Password, please contact the front office at (907) 742-3025.
Greetings Eagle Academy Families,
By now, we're sure you have heard that the Anchorage School District (ASD) is currently reconciling a 68 million dollar budget shortfall. The Superintendent and his administration have recommended closing six of its elementary schools. Along with the closures the administration has also suggested repurposing plans for those schools. One of the suggestions included Eagle Academy moving to Birchwood ABC.
Please know that any news or editorial articles, conversations you hear in public, or comments you read online via social media are most likely opinion and assumption. The authors of those pieces have not reached out to our school nor do they represent the intentions of our Academic Policy Board (APB)
Our APB wants to assure our school community that we have been monitoring the ASD School Board and District Town Hall meetings. Additionally Principal Carroll has been in contact with ASD administration to gather information regarding the repurpose plan. The APB has not engaged in any discussion regarding this with ASD, and do not intend to do so until after the ASD School Board meeting this evening. Should the School Board approve the recommendation to close schools and the repurpose plans, our APB will engage our school community in discussions and seek input before making a decision about any move.
