Good evening Eagle Families,
This is Principal Suzanne Simpson with your weekly updates. I hope that everyone has had a great weekend! Our overall attendance rate is up to 91.2%. Seniors have been at the top of the attendance standings all 9 weeks, ending with a 93.3% attendance rate. It is important that your student is at school and on time to be successful in each of their classes.
There are 4 days until the end of this 9 weeks. Please take a moment 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.
Spring Break will begin on Friday, March 29h and end on Sunday, April 7th. I hope that everyone has a good break and you return ready to work hard during the final stretch of this school year.
Saturday, May 4 will be a night “Reflected in the Stars” with Prom 2024 for all Juniors and Seniors. The star-studded event will take place at the Mebane Arts Center from 8-11 pm. Get a prom form from Ms. Cannell in room S1. Once turned in, you’ll get a code to buy tickets through GoFan. Tickets are $35 each through March 28. After that date, they’ll be $45 each. No tickets will be sold after April 26, so don’t miss out!
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 this week. 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.
