RE-ENROLLMENT 2021 – 2022: It is hard to believe it is almost Re-enrollment time. The 2021 - 2022 school year's re-enrollment begins November 9 at 8:00 am and ends November 23 at noon. Please do not wait until the deadline to start.
Everyone should already have a Parent Portal set up in PowerSchool. This is the only way to get into the PowerSchool Re-enrollment System. The Re-enrollment can only be completed through PowerSchool and only if you have a Parent Portal (username and password). Please contact Mrs. Campbell TODAY if you cannot access the PowerSchool Parent Portal (kcampbell@eastwakeacademy.org).
Again, the deadline for Re-enrollment is November 23 at noon. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. If you do not complete the re-enrollment by the deadline, you will have to apply in January for the Lottery. If you know you will not be returning, please let Kim Campbell know as soon as possible (kcampbell@eastwakeacademy.org).
The re-enrollment Portal will not open until November 9.
Records Request for Students: We understand that some families will explore other educational opportunities for their child, and we support that right. Please let us know what you may need for your exploration, and we will help. But be advised: (By Law) if East Wake Academy receives a formal record request from another school for your child, that child will be withdrawn from East Wake Academy for the following school year (2021 - 2022). East Wake Academy's receipt of the request is final and out of our hands legally. Please be in contact with Mrs. Campbell so she can help you. Mrs. Campbell can be reached at kcampbell@eastwakeacademy.org.
High School Families: We have met with Strawbridge and finalized this year’s High School picture schedule dates. More details will be coming. Please note that due to the limited time we have decided NOT to do K-11 Spring Dress Down Pictures this year.
