EAGLE EXPRESS
NOVEMBER 5, 2021
Eagle Academy encourages academic excellence by integrating proven instructional methods with a challenging curriculum and high expectations.This combination provides every child with the foundation needed to achieve proficiency of Eagle Academy’s performance standards at each instructional level.
Extra Set to Leave at School
With the unpredictability of winter weather in Alaska, it can be hard to tell when to send snow pants, hats, and gloves with students in the morning. Some students have had to sit inside and miss recess due to lack winter gear.
We highly recommend purchasing an extra set (snow pants, hat, and gloves) to leave at school. This way your child will always have the gear available when needed.
Striving for Excellence with Data Binders
Early this week students were introduced to data binders. These binders will help students set goals and track their progress toward those goals. To help students have the courage, resolve, and strength of character to reach their goals we are calling these data binders their G.R.I.T. binders.
- Give it your all
- Redo if necessary
- Ignore giving up
- Take time to do it right
In February, teachers will review data binders with students and assess progress made toward their goals. All students who meet or exceed the goals set during their conferences with their teachers this week, will be invited to a celebration.
Please encourage your student(s) to take pride and ownership in their work and academic growth.
COVID VACCINE CLINICS
Click on the VACCINE CLINIC Flyer below for more information.
FREE - ONSITE COVID 19 TEST
Nurse Jan can now collect nasal or saliva samples for COVID testing right here at school. The samples are then sent out to BeachTree labs, and they will send the results back the next morning.
Here is the QR LINK that will lead you to the BeechTree Covid Registration site called Flowcode.com
After it opens, you will check the box "I don't have a QR code." This is because you will be creating a personal QR code for your child by registering with BreechTree.
You only need to answer the questions that are marked with an asterisk (*) ​with actual answers.
You do not need to input your social security number, driver's license number or insurance numbers if you do not want to.
Just type in 999999
When the registration asks for pictures of your insurance card or driver's license, you can take a picture of the floor and it will let you move on to the next question.
I hope this helps!
See you soon, Nurse Jan
As part of the Eagle Academy Emergency Preparedness Plan, we would like each student to have a personal comfort kit. This kit contains special items to help children cope with stress & anxiety should we need to shelter in place during an emergency. The kits will be stored by class with our emergency supplies and will be returned to students at the end of the year on the last day of school.
When preparing your child’s comfort kit, please label and include the following items in a 1-gallon size Ziploc baggie:
1. one pair gloves or mittens and winter hat
2. one change of socks and underwear
3. one or two pre-packaged snacks (granola bars work well)
4. personal note to your child
5. family picture or small comfort item.
Please send this kit to school with your child as soon as possible. Ideally, we would like every student to have their kits in before we leave for Thanksgiving break. We appreciate your cooperation.
CITRUS FUNDRAISER
Our annual citrus fundraiser is back, and kicked off last Monday! We partner with Farm Fresh Fundraising, a family-owned farm in California, to offer freshly grown oranges, grapefruit, clementines, or a mixed box of all 3!
So far from electronic sales (since paper forms may not be turned in yet) we have sold 17 boxes out of our 100 box goal.
Sales go through next Friday (11/12), and the fruit should arrive around the 2nd week of December.
This is the last weekend to go out and get sales! To help sell to family/friends/neighbors, we've added a QR code (attached) that can be scanned to easily go to the credit card payment site. Paper forms were sent home last week if you prefer to collect that way with cash/check payment. Lost your form? There are PDF copies to print attached to the school newsletter! Paper forms and payment can be turned in to the PTO box in the lobby.
Funds raised from these sales will go toward our annual Outdoor Learning Day!
NORTHERN LIGHTS COUPON BOOK FUNDRAISER
Each book is $55.00 and a portion of the sales will go to the EACS PTO. These coupon books have over $22k worth of coupons and they have expanded the Eagle River coupon section this year.
We have a goal of selling at least 30 of these books. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Please contact Alysia Thayer - (303) 378-3097 if interested in purchasing.
Thank you for your support!
Volunteers needed!
If you have any questions or would like to help, please contact Ms. Diana (dominguez_kutcher@asdk12.org) or Principal Carroll (carroll_deanne@asdk12.org) or your classroom teacher.
