Good evening,
This is Principal Suzanne Simpson with your weekly updates.
Fall Exams:
Teacher made exams will take place on Friday, January 9th. EOC testing (Math 1, Math 3, English 2, Biology) and CTE testing will take place the following week, January 12-16. We will share a more detailed schedule soon.
EOC Retest Consent:
Starting this school year, students who score Not Proficient on an End-of-Course (EOC) test are eligible for a retest opportunity each year. Families who have students who are in Math 1, Math 3, English 2 or Biology this semester should complete this form. This form is giving consent for your child to participate in retesting if they need it. This consent will remain in effect until your child graduates or you revoke it in writing. You will be contacted after EOC testing if your child is not proficient and eligible to take advantage of the rest opportunity.
EAgle Time:
Our last day of EAgle time for the semester will be Monday, December 15th. All students have an EAgle time and receive a daily email from RTI scheduler that tells them where to report. The only exceptions to this are students at ACC, CTEC, or who have Early Release. Those students have passes that they are expected to keep with them. Skipping EAgle time is the same as skipping a class and will result in ISS.
Support EA:
If you are looking for a quick and easy way to support Eastern Alamance, look no further.

Parking Lot:
Students should not be in the parking lots for any reason unless they are leaving to go to ACC, CTEC or are leaving to go home (either with Early Release or they have been signed out in the front office).
Seniors:
It is never too early to purchase your cap and gown. Use this link to go ahead and secure your cap and gown for the lowest price of the year. Graduation Date is set: June 5th at 7:00 pm at the Novant Fieldhouse at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Student Name Update:
Does your child have a name that they go by that is different from what is listed innInfinite Campus? For example: student's name is Samantha but they go by Sami or student's name is John but they go by Jack. If so, you must complete this form. Until this form is complete and has been approved, all staff at school are required to call them by the name listed in Infinite Campus.
9th graders:
Healthful Living Parental Consent/Health Screening Consent 2025-26: Please complete these grade-specific form(s) below for your 9th-grade student. *If you have previously submitted the consent form, you need not resubmit.
Parking Pass:
Any student parking on campus should have a valid parking pass displayed. Please use this link to purchase a pass. Students who park on campus without a pass are subject to having their car towed at the owner’s expense. All other school fees/fines must be paid in order for you to be able to purchase a parking pass.
Cell Phones:
The majority of our student body is doing a great job with the ABSS Wireless Communication Device Procedures. As a quick reminder, wireless devices should be placed away from students (in the cell phone holders) during instructional time. We should not be able to see them on students (in pockets, in ears, etc.) Thank you for your continued support with these new procedures.
Back To School Forms:
Parents, have you created your Infinite Campus Account? If not, check your email. More information about Infinite Campus as well as a link to download the app can be found here.
Chromebooks:
This year, we are offering families the opportunity to purchase optional insurance for their student(s) chromebook. The cost of the optional insurance is $25. This premium is good for one instance of unintentional breakage (lost or intentional damage is not covered) and will help protect you from higher cost. For more details, including a list of part replacement costs, click here for the Mobile Learning Handbook. You may use this link to purchase the optional insurance.
