No. Homeschool participants do not have access to broader student life activities, including prom, homecoming court, class trips, retreats, or daily campus life outside of their scheduled class or program commitment. Do all homeschool students qualify to participate in athletics or competitive fine arts? No. Because ELCA is a GHSA member school, homeschool students must meet all GHSA eligibility requirements to participate in athletics or GHSA-sanctioned fine arts competitions. Many homeschool programs do not meet these requirements. Can ELCA determine GHSA eligibility before a student applies? In some cases, preliminary guidance may be provided; however, GHSA eligibility is not guaranteed. Families may be asked to submit additional documentation to verify compliance. Does admission guarantee placement on a team or in a fine arts ensemble? No. Admission to ELCA does not guarantee placement on an athletic team or in a fine arts ensemble.

You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper match form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process. Please search our database for company-specific information. How do I submit a matching gift? Donate to a nonprofit. Log into your company's matching gift submission website (if you use the Double the Donation search tool, you will receive a follow-up email linking to this page).

What if I submit my matching gift or volunteer grant outside of the nonprofit’s online donation form or dedicated matching gifts page? If you submit your matching gift or volunteer grant outside of the nonprofit’s online donation form or dedicated matching gifts page, contact the nonprofit directly to notify them of the request, so they may track the matching funds as needed. What if I forget to submit my matching gift request? If you forget to submit your matching gift after selecting your company at the time of donation, you will receive a series of auto-generated emails prompting you to submit your match. The majority of companies offer an all-electronic matching gift submission process. Are matching gifts and volunteer grants tax-deductible?

Children need to be healthy to learn and learn to be healthy. KATIE COOL Direct Office: 678.818.1061 Fax: 770.957.2290 Clinic Hours: 7:30 A.M. - 3:30 P.M. or by appointment ELCA Health Policy This policy provides guidance to improve learning by minimizing contagious illness at school. We recognize that each situation is likely to be different and that this policy must be flexible while still providing an overall strategic direction. Common types of contagious diseases include: COVID-19, Flu (influenza), common cold, stomach viruses, and strep throat. Contagious diseases can spread by: Physical contact with an infected person, such as through touch or respiratory droplets. Contact with objects and other surfaces that an infected person has touched. When to keep your child home: We continue to encourage families and employees to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of illness before arriving on campus. Students should feel well enough to participate in all activities while in school. If a student displays any of the following symptoms, we require that they stay home for the appropriate isolation period and at least 24 hours from last symptom and last dose of any fever-reducing medicine: Fever (100.0°F or above) or chills Persistent cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing New loss of taste or smell Nausea or vomiting Diarrhea Positive test result for COVID-19, Flu, or Strep throat Prevention: Hand Hygiene: Keeping hands clean is one of the best ways to keep from getting sick and spreading illnesses. Practicing good hand hygiene gets rid of bacteria and viruses from contact with other people or surfaces. The school promotes proper hand hygiene throughout the school day. The school ensures that an adequate supply of hand sanitizer, hand soap, and paper towels is available in all classrooms. Face Masks: Face masks are optional except as required for persons who have been in close contact with a COVID-19 case outside of school. Vaccines: The CDC encourages everyone to get vaccinated against communicable diseases as advised by their healthcare provider. Cleaning: Our maintenance staff will continue to disinfect frequently touched surfaces with EPA approved products. Hand sanitizer is available in all classrooms and throughout the building. Electrostatic sprayers are used to disinfect on a routine basis and for specific areas as needed. Lunch Services: K-12 students eat lunch in the cafeteria. PreK students eat lunch in their respective classrooms. Hand sanitizer is available, and tables are cleaned and disinfected after each use. For questions, or to report any communicable illness, please contact our nurse, Katie Cool, at katie.cool@eagleslanding.org or by phone directly at 678-818-1061. HELPFUL INFORMATION If your child needs to take medication while at school: 1. Complete the authorization form and fax or bring completed copy to the Clinic. 2. Please keep prescription medications and/or over-the-counter medications in the original container. Your pharmacy can usually place a prescription in 2 labeled containers, 1 for school and 1 for home use. 3. For children with severe allergies, please have your doctor complete an allergy action plan and send a copy to the Clinic. Automated external defibrillators (AED): There are 3 AEDs located on the ELCA campus. One is located on the wall near the nurse's station, another is on the wall in the hallway between the worship center and the choral suite and there is one in the Athletic Trainer's office. The school nurse is responsible for checking the batteries in these units monthly. Our goal is to help keep students and staff healthy and to take measures needed to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus as it makes its way onto campus. Our plan is designed to help us be proactive in our response to COVID-19 and to help us return to campus safely. It is meant to be practical, flexible, and includes reliable guidelines and recommendations. Home Screenings: It is important that everyone in our school work together with open communication and flexibility so that we can provide the best level of safety and health for all of our students and staff. Checking your students for symptoms before bringing them to school is one of the best ways to help keep our campus healthy. When your student wakes up not feeling well, it is best to be safe and keep them at home. Medications: Students should not carry medications with them while at school. Students that are in middle or high school may carry life-saving medications with them (Epi-pens, inhalers) only if parents sign the Authorization to Carry EpiPen or the Authorization to Carry inhaler and turn it in to the clinic. All other prescription medication will be kept in the clinic and require an Authorization Form to be administered as needed. EMERGENCY DRILLS AND INCLEMENT WEATHER PROCEDURES Periodic fire, tornado and lockdown drills are required by state law. An evacuation route and procedures are posted in each classroom. WHEN SHOULD MY CHILD STAY HOME? 10 ELCA GUIDELINES FOR KEEPING YOUR CHILD HOME FROM SCHOOL Adapted from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. A guide to making an early morning decision. 1. FEVER: Children with a fever over 100.0 degrees F should stay at home until there is no fever for 24 hours. If you treat a fever with medicine before school, the fever can return and your child may still be contagious. Call your doctor if your child has a fever with pain, rash, weakness, vomiting, or diarrhea. 2. DIARRHEA & VOMITING: One event of watery diarrhea or more than one event of vomiting are reasons to keep your child home. If vomiting or diarrhea continues or your child also has a fever, rash, or weakness, call your doctor. 3. PERSISTENT COUGHING: If your child's cough is worse than you would expect with a cold, keep them at home. If they have a hard time breathing or have a fever, call your doctor. 4. SORE THROAT: If your child has a sore throat and fever, or a severe sore throat without fever, they should stay home from school. Call your doctor if there is a quick onset of fever and sore throat without cold symptoms. 5. PINK EYE / CONJUNCTIVITIS: If your child's eye is red with cloudy or yellow drainage, they should stay home until symptoms are gone. Call your doctor for treatment. 6. PERSISTENT EAR PAIN: Your child should stay at home if they have a lot of ear pain. Call your doctor for treatment. 7. IMPETIGO: If your child has impetigo (red, oozing blister areas with yellow-gold scabs on the body or face) they should stay home as long as your doctor says. 8. STOMACH ACHE: If your child complains of a stomach ache, especially if they say it hurts to move and they do not want to eat, they should stay home. Call your doctor. 9. LICE: If your child has lice, they need to be treated and nits (eggs) removed. They need to stay at home until the school has cleared them to return. 10. CHICKENPOX: Your child should stay at home until all the bumps are scabbed and no new bumps have shown up in two days. Call your doctor for treatment of symptoms. 11.

No. Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy does not offer a full homeschool program or a hybrid academic model. Homeschool participation is limited to select fine arts and athletic programs only. Can homeschool students attend campus full-time or take multiple classes? No. Approved homeschool students may participate only in the specific program(s) for which they are accepted and must enroll in a designated on-campus class tied to that participation. Broader academic enrollment is not available. Are homeschool students eligible for prom, homecoming, or other student activities? No. Homeschool participants do not have access to broader student life activities, including prom, homecoming court, class trips, retreats, or daily campus life outside of their scheduled class or program commitment. Do all homeschool students qualify to participate in athletics or competitive fine arts? No. Because ELCA is a GHSA member school, homeschool students must meet all GHSA eligibility requirements to participate in athletics or GHSA-sanctioned fine arts competitions. Many homeschool programs do not meet these requirements. Can ELCA determine GHSA eligibility before a student applies? In some cases, preliminary guidance may be provided; however, GHSA eligibility is not guaranteed. Families may be asked to submit additional documentation to verify compliance. Does admission guarantee placement on a team or in a fine arts ensemble? No. Admission to ELCA does not guarantee placement on an athletic team or in a fine arts ensemble. Placement decisions are made by coaches and program directors and are subject to availability and evaluation. What grades are eligible for homeschool participation? This option is limited to students in grades 7–11. Participation for 12th grade students is considered only for returning homeschool participants. Are program fees refundable if a student does not make a team or withdraws?

You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper match form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process. Please search our database for company-specific information. How do I submit a matching gift? Donate to a nonprofit. Log into your company's matching gift submission website (if you use the Double the Donation search tool, you will receive a follow-up email linking to this page).

What if I submit my matching gift or volunteer grant outside of the nonprofit’s online donation form or dedicated matching gifts page? If you submit your matching gift or volunteer grant outside of the nonprofit’s online donation form or dedicated matching gifts page, contact the nonprofit directly to notify them of the request, so they may track the matching funds as needed. What if I forget to submit my matching gift request? If you forget to submit your matching gift after selecting your company at the time of donation, you will receive a series of auto-generated emails prompting you to submit your match. The majority of companies offer an all-electronic matching gift submission process. Are matching gifts and volunteer grants tax-deductible? While your donation to a 501(c)3 organization is tax-deductible, your matching gift is not tax-deductible. Only your contributions are eligible for tax deduction. Each party involved (yourself and your employer) can only take deductions for contributions they directly made to the nonprofit. What if I still have questions?

We are excited to discover more ways to impact our students to ensure their positive well-being. ELCA does not tolerate bullying, harassment, or intimidation of any sort. Principals and the school counselor will thoroughly assess and intervene any such suspicions. Many preventative efforts are made through our Kingdom Educational foundation and Biblical Worldview approach to behavioral expectations. Our chapel services, Unity Counsel, Student government accountability groups, and more each promote proper treatment of others. Any deviation is quickly identified and addressed. In any instance whereby child abuse or neglect is suspected, the staff member will immediately notify a principal and/or the School Counselor.
