The Eagle Eye: 3/25/2021

The latest issue of the Eagle Eye newsletter is ready to read! This year, the Eagle Eye is being published on Smore, a platform that allows newsletters to be translated into any language on Google Translate. We are hoping this allows important school information to be shared with even more of our families.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll find inside the newest issue:

  • Tomorrow is the Last Day to Nominate Yourself or Another Community Member for the 2021 ERA Board of Directors. The ERA Board of Directors is looking to fill two parent/community member seats in 2021. The Board of Directors asks that you nominate yourself or other individuals with the competence and vision to provide skilled leadership for the Academy. Please read the full announcement for more information regarding the election process and submit your nomination by 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, March 26.
  • Students in Grades 3-8, 10, and 11 will take Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) in April and May. In-person students will test during the regular school day Monday through Thursday. Distance learning students will test on scheduled Fridays in either a morning session or an afternoon session. If your child is in distance learning and you do not want them to come into the school to test, you can choose for your child to not take the test. Parents of distance learning students can communicate participation in MCA assessments by completing this form by 6:00 p.m. on Friday, March 26.

Grades K-8 will come together for one night of fun! Face coverings are required. The cost is $6.00 per person. There is a maximum capacity for this event, so sign up today!
  • Schools of Logic & Rhetoric Donate for Donuts Fundraiser Begins April 5. This year, the ERA National Honor Society is putting a fun twist on the traditional VEAP Food Drive. Students in the Schools of Logic & Rhetoric will drop-off non-perishable food items in the box located in their homerooms. The homeroom that collects the most items will receive YoYo Donuts!
