Fall 2021 Re-Opening Plan |
|
We are looking forward to a great start of the year! I want to assure our ELCA family that our school administration is in communication with the Department of Health and local health professionals as we form our opening protocols.
Parents and caregivers are asked to continue to screen their children for symptoms of illness every day.
As we continue to monitor local transmission, many of our COVID mitigation strategies will be continued from last year. Hand hygiene will be a priority and all students will be required to use hand sanitizer upon entrance and exit of each classroom. We are also putting as much space as possible between each desk in every classroom and will continue to have students facing in the same direction. Frequently touched surfaces will continue to be cleaned and disinfected as we did last year as well. Our mitigation plan is designed to be revised and adapted throughout the school year as community and school health warrants modification.

Jeans for Missions
Each Friday of the school year, students have the opportunity to unite with missionaries around the world to share the hope of Jesus Christ.
Giving one dollar per week makes a difference in the lives of others and wearing jeans is an outward sign that you are a partner in these ministries.
Have you ever wondered where the money goes?
ELCA provides over $1500 in monthly support toward the following ministries through Jeans for Missions...
• Teach Beyond
• Helping In His Name Food Pantry – Henry County
• Fellowship of Christian Athletes
• Mission Quest – Phil and Jamie Covone in Mexico
• Grace Team – planting Christian schools in Africa
Would you prefer to donate to Jeans for Missions in one 'lump' sum? Complete this online form to pay $35 per year ($1 for each Friday of the school year). A printable form is also available on our website.

Eagle's Landing Christian Academy is blessed to have three wonderful auxiliary organizations that support the ELCA mission.
Membership in one or all of these organizations is a great way to get involved within the ELCA family. Find more information on each of these organizations at https://www.elcaonline.org/auxiliary.
PTF welcomes you Back to School! We are looking forward to an amazing school year! Please consider volunteering at one of our many events this year as we continue to support our families and teachers in Kingdom Education! Your support is greatly appreciated! All are invited to our first PTF Meeting of the school year on 8/17 at 4:15pm. More details to follow.
The Eagle's Landing Christian Academy Athletic Booster Club exists to glorify God by promoting Christian sportsmanship and providing a cooperative bond between members, coaches, athletes, and school administration with active and working participation that will improve, enhance, and elevate the athletic program of ELCA.
The ELCA Fine Arts Patrons (“FAP”) was organized to create a relationship between the parents, teachers and staff, so that we, as a group, could support the fine arts students at ELCA in every respect, and to ensure the highest advantages in fine arts education.
Fine Arts Patrons meetings are on the 2nd Thursday of each month. To start the year, we will have a meeting in the Life Center, room LC113, on Thursday, August 12 at 5:30pm.

We are excited to have you with us for the 2021/2022 School Year! What’s new with the Advancement Office? We are rejoicing in the hope that the Lord will carry us through as we move forward in our planning for the school year. Our families don’t want to miss out on an incredible year that the Lord has in store for us in 21/22!
Eagle's Landing Christian Academy relies on charitable gifts above tuition and fees to fund our mission of Empowering Students to Impact the World for Christ. That is why we have an ALL IN in 10 ELCA Fund Campaign each year. Look for more information coming soon regarding this year's campaign.
When you give to the ELCA Fund, your gift provides direct support to our school for further enhancements and it helps us to reach our goal of 100% parent participation in giving which will allow us to seek support from outside foundations and organizations. Also, ELCA is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization and gifts to the school are tax-deductible as provided by law. So don't delay, give today!
