The Eagle's Nest

We will again be honoring the family members of our students and staff that have served in the armed forces. We will be continuing our tradition of creating a slide show highlighting our community’s veterans. The slide show will be shown at our PBIS assembly on November 10. All teachers will have access to the slide show to share again with classes on November 11. If you would like to have yourself or a family member included in our slide show please provide us with the following information by Wednesday, November 4.

· A picture of the veteran. Please send it electronically as we cannot guarantee the return of photographs.

· The name and rank of the veteran.

· The branch of the armed services in which they served.

· The name(s) and relationship of the Ebb Valley student / staff connected to the veteran.

· Any information such as honors, awards, years served, etc. that you would like highlighted.

All information should be emailed to the school counselor, Mrs. Kurth-Ford (stacykurthford@carrollk12.org).

We are happy to announce that EVE is continuing their partnership with the Manchester Volunteer Fire Department and Tree of Friends Foundation to provide assistance to our families for the holiday season. Below is the link to the electronic form. Please complete the form and return it to the school counselor, Mrs. Kurth-Ford, by Thursday, November 5. Information collected on the form is for EVE students only. Please complete a form for each child. Siblings that attend other schools, such as North Carroll Middle or Manchester Valley, should complete holiday help forms at that school. Gifts are expected to be delivered on Friday, December 18. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Kurth-Ford at StacyKurthFord@carrollk12.org or 410-386-1550.

Home Access Center (HAC) is the CCPS parent/student portal that allows you/your child to access a variety of information.

• You can view attendance, student’s e-mail/password, classes, grades, service-learning, and emergency contact information.
• You can register to receive an email anytime your child is absent and receive a weekly email with your child’s classwork and grades.

If you have not yet registered, we encourage you to do so by clicking on this link: HAC Login

• Click the “Request Password” link and follow the directions on-screen.
• If you forgot your password, click the “Forgot Password” link and follow the steps.
• Home Access Center is also available as a mobile app for both Apple and Android devices - search keyword: eSchoolPLUS Family. The app will not replace Home Access Center; it is an additional way to access your child’s information.

To receive HAC attendance and gradebook alerts

• Go to Home Access Center – if you have more than one student in CCPS, then you will be prompted to select a student.
• After you select the student, let the cursor hover over your name on the top right corner of the screen.
• Click on My Alerts. Check the box for “Classwork Alerts” - you will receive these alerts every Thursday.
• You can also check the box for “Receive Attendance Alerts” - those emails are sent daily if your child is marked tardy, absent, or has an early dismissal.
• Parents who subscribed to receive these alerts last year will need to subscribe again this year. You will need to follow these steps for each child.

If you are a student, the parent/guardian or caregiver of a student, a close adult relative of a student, a school staff member, or a bystander and wish to report an incident of alleged bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, or intimidation, please click the link below to report an incident online.
