Eagle Creek Academy
Kindergarten to 5th Grade

Co-Teachers

Co-teachers

• Each K-5 classroom has a core teacher and a co-teacher.
  
• Both are fully experienced teachers. 
• The core teacher is the regular teacher.
  
• The co-teacher spends one to five hours in the classroom each day. The length of time depends on the number of students in the room and the range of ability levels. 
• Co-teachers work with small groups on math, reading, writing, spelling, social studies, and science.
• They also teach art, gym, music, and STEAM lessons. 
• We are well known for small groups and excellent ratios. We do this by assigning co-teachers generously.

• Eagle Creek has no hidden fees. All fees are explained in the family handbook and on your contract.
• There are no cancellations or refunds.

HOW We decide when to be open

• Eagle Creek is a private school, so we have more flexibility than public schools about when our building is open and closed.
• All teachers and rooms at Eagle Creek are also Michigan LARA-license, so if schools close, we may stay open as a daycare center offering K-6 classes. 
• We consider state recommendations and your family's safety.​​
• If we close your child's in-person class, we will provide distance learning.

School Schedule

• You may use before-care starting at 7 a.m. or 7:30 a.m.​
• Otherwise, families may drop off between 8 and 8:25 a.m.
• School ends at 3 p.m.
• You may use after-care until 4, 5, or 6 p.m.
• The rates for before-care and after-care are below.

Communication

• Our teachers and families use Seesaw to share messages, photos, videos, schoolwork, and assessments.
• Children in the upper grades also use Google Classroom to receive and turn in assignments, and their parents have access.
• Teachers share progress updates every few weeks.
• We have parent conferences 3 times per year.
• We write report cards 4 times per year.
• K-5 children take the NWEA standardized test 2 times per year. It must be taken in person.
• We know how important it is to share information with you!

​

All k-5 children must bring a chromebook every day

• ​We offer written directions explaining how to set up your Chromebook.
• If you need help, make an appointment, and we'll help!
• For each child, we add our homepage with links for the websites that we use most often.
• We also add extra security to each Chromebook.
