Registration
Students can no longer change their course requests in PowerSchool. Any changes that need to be made at this point and moving forward can be done so through a counselor or administrator. Rising 10th-12th graders will be called down this week for individual meetings to review their course selections, answer questions, and discuss future college and/or career plans.
March Teacher Appreciation Event: We are collecting random prizes for our April Kudos Kart using this sign up genius. Some prize ideas are: cash, gift cards (Amazon, gas, food, Teachers pay Teachers, My Hot Lunchbox, etc), lottery tickets, snacks, candy bars, school supplies, hats, lanyards, socks, water bottles, coffee mugs, any fun things you can think of!

What you might have missed:
The Eno River Academy Hospitality Team is a teacher-led group looking to celebrate and encourage teachers on a regular basis. We do this by providing snacks in the workroom, celebrating teachers on their birthdays, organizing social events, sending flowers and cards on big occasions, throwing baby showers, and much more! We are also trying to provide some general school supplies for refill purposes like sticky notes etc. that are often purchased by teachers. If you would like to support teachers at ERA, please consider donating non-perishable snacks (see list below) or donating to the school specifying that it is for “Hospitality.” There is also a QR code if you would prefer to order via Amazon and have it shipped to our hospitality committee. Thanks in advance for all your support!
