About Co-teachers
  • We decide how long each co-teacher spends with each class based on the number of children 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. 
  • ​The teachers and co-teachers work together to make sure each child progresses spectacularly.

  • 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.
