Good evening Eagle Families,
This is Principal Suzanne Simpson with your weekly updates. I hope that each of you were able to enjoy this weekend. Our overall attendance rate is 89.7%. The senior class continues to lead with 93.7%. It is important for students to be at school and in class on time so they have the best opportunity to be successful.
With the weather getting warmer, I want to take a moment to remind everyone of the dress code. Sports bras and tube tops are not appropriate for school. Thank you for your cooperation.
We will continue to hold Saturday School and Evening Academy until exams. Please reach out to Mr. Hemminger at william_hemminger@abss.k12.nc.us in regards to Saturday school and Coach Walker at parrish_walker@abss.k12.nc.us for Evening Academy.
We are currently 5 weeks away from the start of exams. As a reminder students can be exempt from teacher made exams if they meet the requirements in our Exam Exemption Policy. This is the spring exam schedule. If students have any questions about the exam schedule or need to reschedule an exam they will need to speak with their teacher.
Seniors the Job Fair is an opportunity for you to explore a wide range of full-time and part-time employment options! The event is this coming Thursday, May 2nd during 1st and 2nd block. We will provide transportation to the event. Please email Ms. Farmer at rhonda_farmer@abss.k12.nc.us if you are interested in attending.
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 until trash can be consistently thrown away by all students inside of the cafeteria. All students are expected to remain inside the cafeteria during their scheduled lunch.
If you are interested, please fill out this form to receive emails in regards to second semester, summer, and 2024-2025 drivers ed courses.
