Frequently Asked Questions

COVID

Is Eaton Academy open for in-person learning for the 2020-2021 school year?

Yes. As matters currently stand, Eaton Academy will be open for in-person learning for the 2020-21 school year.

I’m not comfortable with in-person learning. Does Eaton offer options for quality online learning?

Yes. Students may enroll for live on-camera/online classes in either our group program or in our one-to-one Independent Study Program.

Can my child come to school if he or she has a fever but exhibits no other symptoms of COVID-19?

No. Parents are expected to closely monitor the health of their children. Individuals who are not feeling well or who are running temperatures (100+) need to stay at home.

What happens if our child or someone in our household tests positive for COVID-19?

You will need to notify the school, keep the student home in a self-quarantine situation for two weeks, and submit a negative COVID-19 test result before having the student return to school.

Can I drop my child off at Eaton in the morning?

There can be no drop-off of students. We do not want to create a situation in which students are milling around in front of school prior to the start of the day. Students must remain in their cars until the school is open.

Once the school doors have been opened, students must line up using designated, socially-distanced spots to have their temperatures taken by staff members with instant read thermometers. Students who show an above normal temperature (currently 100+) will be sent back to their cars and will need to go home. Parents should not leave until they see their child enter the school.

What will Eaton do if someone in the Eaton community tests positive for COVID-19?

If a confirmed case of the coronavirus arises within our school community, we will follow a detailed process which may include some or all of the following:

  • Notifying families of the presence of the confirmed case of COVID-19
  • Dismissing students and staff for a specific length of time
  • Transitioning to the online platform for an appropriate period
  • Contacting local health officials for specific guidance
  • Carrying out a thorough cleaning of all impacted areas of the school
Are students required to wear masks?

Students must be wearing masks as they enter school. Students will proceed directly to their first period classes. Loitering in the halls or at lockers will not be allowed. Every effort will be made to promote social distancing. When social distancing cannot be maintained, everyone will be wearing face masks.

Will Eaton teachers and staff members be wearing masks?

As with students, staff members will wear face coverings whenever they cannot maintain social distancing.

How will social distancing be managed?

Our class sizes are small. This excellent student-to-teacher ratio (5-to-1) and multiple programs enable us to provide our students with a safe, comfortable, and productive learning environment.

What steps is Eaton taking to sanitize classrooms and other school areas?

Students and staff will employ appropriate health and hygiene protocols such as frequent hand washing, covering their mouths with their arms/elbows when sneezing or coughing, and using masks/face shields as appropriate. Student desks will be sanitized after each class, and students will be given hand sanitizer at the start of each period.

Are there any changes to the lunch program because of COVID-19?

To avoid points of congregation, students will not be permitted to use school refrigerators, water coolers, and microwaves. Individuals will need to bring insulated lunch boxes and personal water bottles to school. Families are welcome to sign-up for the school?s lunch program, which will offer contact-less delivery to students.

Will after-school enrichment activities still be offered?

After school activities that can maintain health protocols and social distancing will be offered.

Is Eaton required to follow the rules and/or guidelines of the Fulton County School System?

No. As a private school, Eaton Academy will make decisions that are right for our families and follow the best available health guidelines.

Are admissions interviews and tours still being held?

Yes. Admissions meetings can be held in person or virtually. For in-person admissions meetings and tours, Eaton personnel will be wearing masks and visitors will be required to wear masks.

Under what circumstances might Eaton transition away from in-person learning to virtual learning?

If directives from the state require the resumption of online learning, Eaton Academy is well-positioned to make that adjustment and pivot back to our highly successful virtual learning environment. Teachers? syllabi will have the flexibility to switch to the face-to-face online approach whenever the need mandates.

Also, we will transition to virtual learning if our administration deems it necessary in order to keep our students and staff safe.

Distance Learning

Who implements the Distance Learning Program?

The Mentor:
This individual serves as the teacher who actually instructs the student using the provided materials. A parent with a high school diploma and some academic credit beyond high school may be the Mentor. Individuals other than a parent may serve as the Mentor provided they hold a college degree.

The Test Proctor:
This individual administers the tests which will be mailed directly to him/her. Further, the Test Proctor certifies that proper testing procedures were followed and that the student actually completed the test. The Test Proctor cannot be the student’s parent. If the Mentor is someone other than the parent, then he/she also may serve as the Test Proctor. A Test Proctor must hold a college degree.

How do we get started with the Distance Learning Program?

Determine who will serve as the Mentor and Test Proctor. Then simply print out and complete the application packet, including the Course Selection and Request for School Records forms. You must be able to answer all questions “yes” on the application in order to begin the program. Select the courses desired, compute your tuition as indicated, and mail the application packet, Mentor and Proctor documentation, and tuition check to the address shown.

What does the Distance Learning Program provide?

Upon receipt of a completed application packet and payment, Eaton Academy will order and ship to you all required materials for the course(s) you have selected.

Once each Life Pac Booklet has been finished, the Test Proctor is to mail in the test for grading. Upon satisfactory review of the test (students must finish with a test average of at least 80%), Eaton Academy will record and email grades back to the parent.

Properly completed Life Pac Booklets may be mailed back after each semester (5 books) or at the completion of each course (10 books).

This program is designed to operate as independent study. Eaton Academy does not provide instructors for these courses.

Families convenient to Roswell, Georgia, may enroll in on-site tutorial sessions at an additional cost.

What resources are used in the Distance Learning Program?

Each course is divided into structured, manageable booklets, usually ten booklets per complete course. These materials contain some Christian religious elements which students may choose to investigate. Eaton Academy is not affiliated with any religion and maintains a non-discriminatory admissions policy.

What are the requirements for the Distance Learning Program?

Parents must register with their local school district that they are home schooling their children.

Parents may administer the Distance Learning Program provided they have a high school diploma and have completed some academic credit beyond high school.

Individuals other than a parent may supervise the program provided they hold a college degree. As part of the application, Eaton Academy must receive documentation indicating who will be mentoring the student and what credentials that person holds.

Tests must be proctored by someone other than the parent. The identity and qualifications of the proctor must also be included with the application.

To receive a diploma from the Distance Learning Program, students must provide Eaton Academy with one set of nationally standardized test scores from their high school years, such as the ITBS, Standford, ACT, PSAT, or SAT.

Specific graduation course requirements for a career technology diploma are available upon request.
