Can books be given to the Media Center in honor/memory of someone?
Yes. However, we would like to order the books from vendors that offer special library bindings and processing. These books hold up better and can survive the wear and tear for many years to come. If you would like to donate a book for our media center check with Mrs. Ward about this.Back to Top
When will we have our first book fair?
The Scholastic book fair is held twice a year. One is usually held in September and another in the spring. Look for details to be posted when those dates are drawing near. If you would like to be a part of a great volunteer parent team, see Amy Kowatch about helping with this exciting event!Back to Top
What technology tools are used at ERA?
Technology is integrated into all parts of the curriculum here at Eagle RidgeAcademy. Programs such as MegaMath, KidPix, Microsoft Office/Excel/Powerpoint, and Accelerated Reader are just a few programs used by teachers to enhance instruction. We are excited this year to be able to offer the Accelerated Math program to our students in the 4th & 5th grades. You will be learning more about this addition throughout the school year. Teachers at ERA work daily to prepare their students for future success with the use of Technology. Eagle Ridge Academy boasts a computer lab consisting of 29 PCs and SmartBoard/projector setup. Each classroom is also equipt with desktop computers for student use as well as a SmartBoard and projector. Every teacher also has a laptop in the classroom to use as a tool for instruction. There will also be laptops available this year for students to check out and use in their classrooms. We are fortunate to also have a portable laptop lab that can be checked out by teachers and used in the classrooms. We are so excited to begin using our new wireless access that has been configured. Students may find it helpful to invest in a flashdrive to save important projects and work to. These are wonderful tools to have when doing work on a computer!Back to Top
