School Uniform Expectations
Official School Uniform Dress Code will be enforced. Please refer to page 25 of the EACS School Policy and Procedures Manual.
Face Masks
The Anchorage School District is requiring the wearing of masks, face shields, or other forms of face coverings in schools and administrative buildings to reduce the risk of virus transmission. There is no time frame, and it’s highly likely that this requirement will be maintained until the COVID-19 threat is largely reduced.
Eagle Academy will be following ASD safety protocols. We view the mask mandate as an extension of our school uniform policy and as such the EACS Academic Policy Board (APB) has issued the following guidance:
- Parents will provide masks for their student(s);
- Mask colors shall match school uniform colors and be solid (no prints or designs other than our official school logo)
In the event that you are unable to source face masks for your student(s), please contact Principal Carroll.
It's that time of the year again
Our front office is open from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday or you can scan or take a photo and email it to our Administrative Assistant, Diana Dominguez-Kutcher at: dominguez-kutcher_diana@asdk12.org.
What about Volunteer Hours?
The charter of Eagle Academy outlines that each family volunteer at least 16 service hours per school year. Our parent volunteers are one of the reasons that Eagle Academy Charter School is one of the top schools in the Anchorage School District and State of Alaska.
We are happy to announce that we are once again welcoming parents back into the building. Opportunities to volunteer abound. Parents/Guardians can volunteer and support our school both inside and outside of the classroom, school, and school day. Please check with your student's classroom teachers to see how you can help.
Due to circumstances related to COVID 19 and Health and Safety mandates, all adults entering ASD buildings will be asked to sign in at the front office and will be required to wear masks until further notice..
