Good evening Eagle Families,
This is Principal Suzanne Simpson with your weekly updates. I hope that you have had a great weekend.
There are only 15 days until the end of the first semester. We will begin teacher-made exams on January 10th followed by EOC/CTE testing. Please note that final exams will count as 20% of your child’s final grade in their course. Please take a minute to review the Fall Exam Schedule. If you have any questions then please let us know.
Take a minute to check your child’s grades online. The second quarter grading period will count 40% of your child’s final grade in the course.
Families, please help us celebrate our amazing staff next week. For more information on how you can help, click here.
Next week (the 3 days before winter break) we will have winter spirit days. Please join us in the fun, but remember all days must be dress code appropriate.
Monday–Ugly Holiday Sweater (prize sponsored by SGA) Day
Tuesday–Holiday Character Day
Wednesday–Pajama Day
On Sunday, December 17th, the dance team will host our annual Big Man On Campus competition. Join us at 3:00 for what will surely be a fun afternoon. Cost of admission is $5.
The Men’s and Women’s Varsity basketball teams will play in the Holiday Hoopla tournament on December 28-30. This event has been moved to Southeast to allow for more spectators. Please come out and support them. Check out the brackets here.
As a reminder, in the mornings before school you should be in one of 3 places. The media center, the gym or the cafeteria. You should not be wandering around campus. The media center and gym open daily at 8:15. The cafeteria opens earlier to accommodate our bus riders who arrive on campus early.
Evening Academy is going strong. It is not too late for you to join us! It is held every Tuesday through Thursday from 4:15-6:30. This is a great opportunity for you to catch up on missing work, get tutoring in a core subject or recover credits from previous courses online. You must provide your own transportation. To register click here.
Students, please make sure that you sign up for EAgle time this week.
Students, there are many of you who have not turned in your technology user agreement. These forms are available in the media center. Please get this taken care of ASAP.
Make sure you stay up to date with our daily announcements by listening to them during EAgle time. If you miss a day, you can always catch up on our channel here.
Seniors, we have a page on our website just for you! Check it out for the latest updates on all you need to know to navigate your senior year. Go ahead and order your cap and gown before the price goes up in December. Graduation will be June 8th, at 4:00 at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex Fieldhouse.
Yearbooks are now on sale for their lowest price. You can purchase one here.
In order to stay up to date about your child’s grades and attendance, it is very important that you download the Powerschool Parent Portal App. HERE is all the information you need to download the app and set up its features. Finally, if you want to be a parent observer in your child’s Canvas courses then click here for instructions to set that up. If you have any questions please reach out to us.
Breakfast and lunch are not universally free for all students. If you would like your child to eat meals at school, you will either need to put money on their online account or you will need to secure a free/reduced lunch status by filling out the required form. The form is available in the office or you can fill it out online: https://www.lunchapplication.com/
