Good evening Eagle Families,
This is Principal Suzanne Simpson with your weekly updates. I hope that each of you enjoyed the weather this weekend! Our overall attendance rate is 90.6%. Seniors are still holding steady in the lead with an attendance rate of 93.6%.
Congratulations to Marissa Elam, Keegan McArdle, and Dulce Velasquez Arreaga on their Governor’s School Selection!
Congratulations to our Symphonic Band and Mr. Crotts! They received the highest rating possible of Superior at the NC Central District’s Music Performance Adjudication. We are proud of you!
There are 9 days until the end of this 9 weeks. Please take a minute to check your child’s grades online. The third quarter grading period will count 40% of your child’s final grade in the course. If you have any questions then please contact your child’s teacher.
Thank you for your patience as we began to pilot a new car rider traffic pattern designed to move as much traffic off of Mebane Rogers Road as possible. Please continue to bear with us as we adapt to this change. Please see this map of the new Car Rider traffic pattern.
We have begun Saturday school and Evening Academy for this semester. For more information on Saturday school, please reach out to Mr. Hemminger at william_hemminger@abss.k12.nc.us. For more information on Evening Academy, please reach out to Coach Walker at parrish_walker@abss.k12.nc.us.
Our school currently has a negative lunch balance of $6400. At the end of the year, our school will have to pay the negative balance. Paying this money takes away important resources from other things that we may need at the school. Please help us to pay down our negative balance by putting money in your child’s account or by applying for free or reduced meals. The form is available in the office or you can fill it out online: https://www.lunchapplication.com/ You can add money to your student’s lunch account online, by clicking this link. Students who have large outstanding lunch balances may not be able to participate in extracurricular activities.
The outdoor picnic/patio area will remain closed this week. All students are expected to remain inside the cafeteria during their scheduled lunch.
Ms. Cushman and Ms. Johnson will be wrapping up registration prior to Spring Break. If you have not met with them yet, please reach out to schedule a meeting.
If you are interested, please fill out this form to receive emails in regards to second semester, summer, and 2024-2025 drivers ed courses.
