Good evening Eagle Families, 

This is Principal Suzanne Simpson with your weekly updates.  What a great week we had!  From a staff basketball win to Ms. Eastern, it was a busy week at EA!

Tomorrow Etta Krans, Tajon Roberson, Trynton Wiley and Braylon McCollum will be participating in the state track meet.  Good Luck!

Even though their season came to an end this week, we want to congratulate our Women’s Soccer team on a great season!

Make plans to join us Thursday night at 6:00 pm for the final band concert of the season.  There is no doubt it will be a great show.

Seniors, Thursday is your day.  It starts with breakfast and ends with you returning to your elementary school to walk the halls in your graduation gown.  If you have not completed the senior information sheet and let us know if you are planning to be at breakfast and/or lunch please let us know using the links found in this presentation here.  The only required event is graduation practice at 10:30.  If you are not attending one of the optional events, you are expected to be in class.  For quick access to everything you need to know regarding upcoming events and graduation, please check this out.  

We are offering 2 new classes next year: AP Seminar and AP Music Theory.  Students were sent emails with more information.  We encourage you to sign up.  

We are currently 2 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. 

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.  

Our school currently has a negative lunch balance of $7100.  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.  

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.  Graduation will be June 8th, at 4:00 at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex Fieldhouse.

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.
