High School Attendance Update

From August 20 – September 11, our high school students have maintained an average attendance rate of 95%. Strong attendance is one of the most important factors in student success—when students are present, they are more engaged, more prepared, and better positioned to achieve at high levels. Thank you Eagle family for supporting your student in being here every day; together, we’re building the foundation for continued growth and achievement!

Did you know?!

The High School Student Center is open for another year, with new hours! The Student Center is designed to support our high school students by offering a place for Tutoring, Group Work, Independent Study, Printing, and even monthly events. It’s a welcoming space that helps students build strong study habits and prepare them for future success. Check out the flyer below for details and we’d love for your high school student to stop by and take advantage of all the resources we have available!
