WE WARRIORS, WE... ARE ONE | RESPECT ALL | PRACTICE EXCELLENCE | HAVE FUN
Welcome to our Warrior Connection Newsletter for the 2025/2026 School year. This newsletter will be sent out twice a month to share with you events, updates, resources and reminders throughout the school year. It will have some very important information inside, please make sure to check it out every other week!
Student IDs
If your student Id is not working or if there is a misspelling, please come to the front office for us to reprint your ID.
YOU MUST BE WEARING YOUR LANYARD WITH YOUR ID AT ALL TIMES
After 3 times of losing or forgetting your ID, you will be given a Lunch Detention. Having your ID on you is not only for hall passes, but it is also for security and safety.
There is a $5 fee assessed on IC for every ID you need reprinted.
UPDATE: Off-Campus Lunches
There is a change when it comes to off-campus lunches for our upper-classmen (11th & 12th graders) this year! As many of you know, both 11th and 12th graders are given permission to leave campus for lunch. This is not changing! However, Eagle Ridge Academy will not have parental permission forms that go out at the beginning of the school year. This privilege is given to all upperclassmen to enjoy off-campus lunch, and Eagle Ridge Academy will not deny any upperclassmen the privilege. If parents/guardians do not want their upperclassmen to leave the campus, this must be communicated and enforced by the parents/guardians to their student(s).
Off-campus privileges may be taken away by Eagle Ridge Academy Administrators due to any disciplinary, attendance, and academic issues that may arise throughout the school year. Also, ERA will still use the 5 Star Students scanning system for a sign-in and sign-out policy as well. This has proven to increase safety and security for our students that choose to leave campus during lunch.
Off Campus Food and Delivery Options
Just a friendly reminder, the use of GrubHub, DoorDash, Uber Eats, or any other delivery service to drop food off at the school is not permitted. This is a safety concern with random delivery drivers showing up to our campus unannounced.
Parents/Guardians are more than welcome to drop off food for their students at the front office. We will make sure your student receives the food. Also, the food should only be for your student. Parents/Guardians are not authorized to bring food back for groups of students. Since ERA is a federally funded school, and we operate under the "Competitive Food Service" under the Colorado Department of Education and United States Department of Agriculture we have to follow these guidelines.
Any food confiscated will be discarded. Please have a conversation with your student about food delivery services at Eagle Ridge Academy.
Our school counselors are here to support both you and your student. If you would like to contact your student’s counselor, please reach out to:
Mrs. Irving (Students A-L): Airving@erawarriors.org
Mrs. Scarsi (Students M-Z): Bscarsi@erawarriors.org

Hello friends, families, and community members!
EF Exchange Year brings students to the US from Europe, Asia, and South America, from countries like Spain, Italy, Norway, France, Brazil, Japan, and Taiwan and so many more! We already have over 500 high school students who are hoping to be matched with a family for Fall 2025! Students have the option to participate for a semester or for the entire academic year.
Cultural exchange is an amazing way to learn about and experience other countries, while also sharing your culture with the students. I have greatly benefited myself from cultural exchange programs, from my time in college with our Japanese student exchange program, to living and working in Tokyo for over a year.
If you think this is something you would be interested in learning more about, let’s connect! I have linked my inquiry page below, which includes more information about this opportunity!
