Good evening Bobcats,
I hope that you are all staying safe and warm! Our first priority is your safety. Middle School Families - please have your students check their email for remote learning assignments. K-5 Families - your students were able to bring home some learning materials and activities as well. You will definitely want to check backpacks. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your classroom teachers with any questions.
Don’t forget to fill out the Intent to Return form via Google Forms before the end of the month for students that are currently enrolled. See the attached letter for directions. If you have children who you would like to be enrolled in ERA next year, please fill out the Lottery Application form via Lotterease. See the attached letter for the link.
The software will automatically mark your children's applications as qualifying for Sibling Preference if you mark that preference when you submit their applications. Sibling Preference is legally only for children living in the same household as the currently enrolled student. Mrs. Hover will take any questions you have at mhover@enoriveracademy.org!
Have a wonderful week,
Kristin

The spring sports season will be here before you know it. We are offering the following activities for middle schoolers:

If your student is interested, please ensure their Dragonfly account is set up and up to date. Many required forms can be completed directly on the site. Two forms - the physical exam and medical eligibility form - must be completed by a physician. If your student needs a physical, Fast Med typically offers them for around $25.
Last year, we did not have enough players for a baseball team. If your student might be interested in baseball, please join our Band App. Coach Ben Meyers will post information there soon so we can determine whether we will field a team this year.
