Annual End-of-Year CO₂ Car Race

Each year, the sixth-grade students participate in the End-of-Year CO₂ Car Race. Students are provided with a wooden block, axles, and front and rear wheels, and are asked to design and build their cars prior to race day. This is an in-class assignment, and all students are required to participate.

We are currently in need of the following donated supplies:

Apple Barrel Acrylic Craft Paint 2 fl oz — any color
Available at Walmart
100-grit sandpaper

Thank you for supporting our students and helping make this project a success!

Eagle Academy Information

Eagle Academy is Closed

Dear Parents and Guardians,

At ILTexas, we are committed to helping every student succeed academically and grow in responsibility. To support our students in reaching their full potential.

What is Eagle Academy?
Eagle Academy is a structured support program designed to give students additional time and guidance to complete assignments and strengthen their learning. Eagle Academy is not a punishment. Instead, it is an opportunity for students to take accountability for their work, improve their understanding of concepts, and build the skills they need for success.

When will Eagle Academy take place?

Eagle Academy will be held each school day (Monday–Friday) for one hour. 3:45pm - 4:45pm
Pick up for Eagle Academy is on the red/orange side of driveline and driveline cards are required
All students should be picked up no later than 5:00pm

Which students are assigned to Eagle Academy?
Students may be assigned to Eagle Academy for the following reasons:

Accountability: If a student has an overall class average below 70 and receives a zero on an assignment.
Mastery Learning: If a student has an overall class average below 70 and scores below 70 on an assignment. A teacher will assist with mastery of learning.
Administrative/Teacher Assignment: Administrators or teachers may assign a student to Eagle Academy at any time if they believe the additional support will benefit the student.

Attendance Expectations and Consequences
Because Eagle Academy is designed to help students succeed, attendance is mandatory once assigned. If a student does not attend, the following progressive steps will be taken:

First Missed Session: Parent contacted by phone/email. Student assigned After School Discipline (ASD). Student must make-up the missed Eagle Academy session.
Second Missed Session: Parent conference scheduled with the Assistant Principal. Student receives a warning letter regarding expulsion and is assigned one day of Out of School Suspension (OSS). Missed ASD and Eagle Academy must still be completed.
Third Missed Session: Student referred to MTSS/Triage for behavior documentation. Parent conference scheduled with the AP. Student assigned two days of OSS. Missed ASD and Eagle Academy must still be completed.
Fourth Missed Session: Parent meeting scheduled with the principal. Student assigned three days of OSS. Continued failure to attend may result in a recommendation for expulsion after multiple suspensions.

After School Discipline (ASD):
If ASD is not served, the student will automatically be assigned Out of School Suspension (OSS).

We truly believe Eagle Academy will provide our students with the extra support they need to be successful. With consistent effort and partnership between school and home, every student can achieve academic growth and reach their goals. Please refer to the ILTexas Student/Parent Handbook and Code of Conduct, page 68.

Thank you for your continued support in ensuring that your child attends Eagle Academy when assigned. Together, we can help our Eagles soar!

Cell phones are to be turned off during school hours and stored in backpacks. If your student needs to call they can do so from the classroom phone.

Wireless headphones are not allowed on campus. They need to be turned off and stored in backpack.

Smart watches are to be turned off during school hours and stored in backpacks.

Confiscated Items

Sixth-Grade Students will receive one warning to put away cell phone, smart watch, wireless headphones. Items will then be confiscated and turned into the front office. Parents will need to pay $15 to retrieve items.

"If an ILTexas employee observes a student using a personal electronic device (including a cell phone) during instructional time without permission from a school official, the employee will collect the device and turn it in to the front office. School officials may search the device if there is reasonable cause to believe that the device has been used in the transmission or reception of communications prohibited by law, policy, or regulation.

A parent will be contacted and a $15 fee will be assessed and collected before the device is returned. A $15 fee will be assessed each subsequent time a device is confiscated. Any disciplinary action will be in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. ILTexas will not be responsible for damage to, with loss, or theft of confiscated devices. "
