High School Update 1/21/11
Friday, January 21st, 2011 - by bepartalis
Dear Parents,
The second start to the new semester has gone well this week, and barring any unforseen weather developments, we plan on a smooth, productive, and exciting remainder of the year!
Students have been adjusting to their new schedules and signing up for clubs. Right now, it appears that the Screamin’ Chinchillas will keep on bowling, and significant interest has been expressed by the students to pursue tennis, flag football, and some indoor sports at the Wills Park Gymnasium on Wednesday afternoons. Basketball, floor hockey, frisbee, and other sports could take place in that space. Students collecting hours for PE credits should plan to attend!
Also, this ‘officially’ ends our first three weeks of the semester. Due to the fact that we’ve had two four-day weeks in session and missed a complete week, we will delay the first progress report until next week. On a related note, I have already heard from parents that ride arrangements, appointments, etc have been planned starting next week in anticipation of the end of mandatory Help Session. In recognition of this fact, Help Session will not be mandatory next week. As always, we encourage participation, but we will understand if other factors are prohibiting that next week. Following the first progress report, standard Help Session policies will be in effect.
Have a great weekend, stay warm, and GO BEARS!!

High School Newsletter: December

Dear Parents of High School Students:
The media, the weather, our clothing, friendly waves, and even decorated cars all remind us that ‘the season’ is here! But aside from the College Football Championships, there is much more going on, and we’re preparing to wrap up the first half of the year~
I’d like to send out another “thank you” to all of the students and families who participated in or supported our MarineLab trip to Key Largo. The students were wonderful travelers and participants in all aspects of the programs. I’d happily plan another experience with all involved. I hope you’ve had a chance to read the trip blog and view the photos from the gallery on our website. (more…)
K-8 Newsletter

Dear Parents,
The school year is off to a great start. Students are adhering to dress code regulations, arriving on time, and eager to complete assignments. Teachers are busily integrating new curriculum, technology, and accommodations daily. We thank all the parents for their continued support and patience as we enter our 4th week. Please feel free to email me at any time with questions (jgrant@eatonacademy.org). Consistent communication is one of the key elements in a successful educational experience.
Every other Friday students take part in a K-8 assembly. During these assemblies, we talk about upcoming events, occasionally have outside speakers/guests, and work on character education, which includes B.E.S.T. and W.O.W.
