Sign up
To sign up for Eagle Academy, parents can call Spring Creek at 866-6138, or contact their child’s teacher or Shelly Jackson before fall break. Jackson will send out a schedule of available classes and teachers will provide personal recommendations for tutoring or enrichment in specific subjects, though parents and students can decide which classes they want to take. A schedule detailing the classes students and parents will attend before and after school will be sent home with students.
After a year of success, Spring Creek Elementary is expanding its Eagle Academy. The social, athletic and academic program offers an extra hour of instruction to students both before and after school Monday-Thursday on everything from math to karate.
Last year, 230 of Spring Creek’s 700 students in grades pre-K through fifth chose to participate, said Eagle Academy Director Shelly Jackson, and the great response received from students, parents and teachers has allowed the school to expand the program for the 2017-2018 school year.
Eagle Academy will start up again after students return from fall break Oct. 16, and this year, Spring Creek will use the program to help with the school’s initiative to involve parents in their children’s education. In addition to classes for students, Eagle Academy will offer classes for parents as well.
Parents can sign up to learn how to teach math to their kids, learn how to do their taxes in a course from H&R Block, or participate in a cooking course, Jackson said.
