The College Placement and Guidance Office at ELCA strives to provide parents and students information on college resources and to help students stay organized in the college planning process. We embrace the philosophy that a team approach is essential to reach a successful end. Here you will find resources for testing, college planning and admissions, and financial aid. Parents can be active participants in the college exploration and application process. You should visit campuses with your child and participate in programs offered by admission offices. Other ways to be involved are: making certain your child has been thorough in his/her search; reviewing the admission and financial aid applications and offering guidance in their completion; making certain that tasks get completed and forms are submitted on time; being the support and counselor when decisions are made. THE COLLEGE PLACEMENT AND GUIDANCE STAFF AIMS TO: Meet with students and parents to identify colleges of interest that complement the student’s academic, extracurricular, and spiritual desires. Write supportive letters of recommendation, where applicable, for student’s admission and scholarship applications. Review students' application and essay materials as requested. Process application materials including transcripts, counselor evaluations, teacher recommendations, and additional components for admission and scholarship applications. Inform students about upcoming college representative visits and college fairs. Guide students on the process of registering for college entrance exams and sending test scores to colleges. Provide students with test preparation resources. THE COLLEGE PLACEMENT AND GUIDANCE STAFF EXPECTS EACH STUDENT WILL: Be his/her own advocate by utilizing the resources in the College Placement and Guidance Office and by meeting with college representatives who host programs in the Henry County and Atlanta area and at ELCA. Stay in communication with the College Placement Office regarding class selection, the college search, testing opportunities, and application procedures. Take charge of his/her own application process by knowing application and scholarship requirements and deadlines and independently completing each part of the application. STANDARDIZED TESTING PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test) The PSAT is given in October to all students in grades 9 - 11. The test is used for practice for the SAT and Honors/AP level placement in the High School. ELCA registers all students for the test. PSAT score reports are normally returned after Christmas break. Going over the test – question by question – is a valuable way to improve SAT scores. Students who have questions about their score report should talk with the Academic Dean or Director of College Placement and Guidance. SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) and ACT (American College Test) Eagle's Landing Christian Academy school code for both the SAT and the ACT is 112046. SAT Reasoning Test Beginning with the winter/spring of the junior year, all students are strongly encouraged to take the SAT Reasoning test if their PSAT results indicate this is their best test. Dates for the test and registration information can be found on-line or in the College Placement and Guidance Office. ACT We encourage students to take the ACT if their PreACT results indicate this is their best test. The ACT is an achievement test measuring English, math, reading, and science skills. Some students naturally respond better to the nature of the questions on the ACT with more ease. Dates for tests and registration information can be found on-line or in the Director of College Placement and Guidance Office. AP Exams Students enrolled in Advanced Placement classes are required to sit for the final exam written by the college board. These tests begin the second week of May.

This list is not exhaustive. Students can go to any person within the school to discuss psychological/emotional/spiritual issues. Notwithstanding, this network provides adults on campus who are available to assist as needed. Predominantly, these individuals will connect the student with resources in which the focus is prevention, intervention, positive development, and regular communication between school and families. Most importantly, though, the goal of this network is to glorify God. He is the Wonderful Counselor (Isaiah 9:6), Great Healer (Psalm 103:3), Eternal Helper (John 14:16) Restorer of the Broken-hearted (Psalm 147:3) and Keeper of Perfect Peace (Isaiah 26:3). Our staff is committed to assisting our students and their families by pointing them to the only ONE who can truly meet their needs. Through these resources, the focus is prevention, intervention, positive development, and regular communication between school and families. Members of the Support Network represent a school-wide commitment to improve mental health recognition and to provide beneficial resources in supporting students who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or eating disorders. 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. The student will be evaluated and referred to the governmental authorities as determined appropriate by these individuals and as consistent with Mandatory Reporting laws. Mandated Reporters are not required to notify guardians of an official report of child abuse or neglect. ELCA will disclose this information as deemed safe and appropriate.

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.

Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy is pleased to continue the Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) program which allows 7th-12th grade students to bring their own technology devices to school to use in the classroom for Christian educational purposes. PURPOSE As new technologies continue to change the world in which we live, they also provide many new and positive educational benefits for classroom instruction. Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) is applicable to grades 7 - 12. In this initiative, students are encouraged to bring their own technology devices to school to assist in their learning experiences For the purposes of BYOT, “technology” means a privately owned wireless device including laptops, computers and tablets (i.e. iPads, or similar). It does NOT include cell phones, iTouch, or iPod devices (or similar). INTERNET Students will be expected to access the internet through the ELFBC Wi-Fi network, which will be available in buildings with instructional classrooms. All students will complete a Student/Parent Contract for BYOT, which requires that they use the ELFBC Wi-Fi network to access the internet. Once on the ELFBC Wi-Fi network, all users will have filtered internet access. The ELFBC Wi-Fi network is filtered in accordance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). Only the internet gateway provided by the school may be accessed while on campus. Personal internet connectivity devices, such as hotspots, are not permitted. Students are also not permitted to use proxy programs such as VPNs. Immediate disciplinary action will be taken for students that do not abide by these guidelines. SECURITY AND DAMAGES All students and parents are required to complete and sign a BYOT contract. Device serial numbers and MAC/WiFi addresses will be recorded on this contract. However, responsibility to keep the device secure rests with the individual owner. ELCA is not liable for any device stolen or damaged on campus. If a device is stolen or damaged, it will be handled through the School Resource Officer, similar to other personal belongings. It is recommended that serial numbers be recorded and stored off campus. It is also recommended that skins (decals) and other custom touches are used to physically identify your device from others.

Dr. J. Keith Curlee, Head of School at Eagle's Landing Christian Academy, shares his excitement for the 2024-25 school year. ELCA is a gospel-centered, Kingdom-focused, college preparatory school committed to academic excellence and spiritual growth. With AP and dual-enrollment classes, the school nurtures students through a biblical lens. Partnered with Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church, ELCA aims to make disciples of Jesus Christ. MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL DR. KEITH CURLEE I am thrilled to be the head of school at Eagle's Landing Christian Academy. I am excited to see how God will continue to work among our students, parents, faculty, and staff during the 2025-26 school year. God has truly blessed our church and school community! Here at ELCA we desire to follow our mission statement which reads: Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy is a gospel-centered, Kingdom focused, college preparatory school that exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the glory of God. We live out this mission by making several commitments to our families and students: We are committed to a gospel-centered school. The word gospel means “good news”. Our students at ELCA will come to realize that God, the Father, sent his only Son, Jesus, to live a perfect life, and to die for all of mankind’s sins. But Jesus did not remain dead; He resurrected from the dead and desires for everyone, everywhere to come to know this truth and to put their faith and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior. The hope we have in Jesus’ resurrection is truly good news. We are committed to being Kingdom focused. Scripture teaches us that this world we live in is not our home yet. God has placed us here to live in this world, but to not be of this world. We view the Bible as God’s Holy Word. In every aspect of school life, it is our sincere desire to point students to Christ. We offer Bible classes, worship opportunities in age-appropriate chapel services, but also teach each subject through the lens of Scripture. It is our aim to lead students to Christ, build them up in Christ, and equip them to serve Christ, which we call Kingdom Education. We are committed to being a college preparatory school. By offering multiple AP and dual-enrollment classes, we provide our students with academic excellence and a quality education. The majority of our graduates will be attending 4-year colleges and universities. We have excellent, certified, Christian teachers that lead our students each and every day. Our 87 graduates in the Class of 2025 were awarded close to $15 million in college scholarships. Recent graduates attend colleges and universities in various places including MIT, Georgia Tech, UGA, West Point, Duke, Truett-McConnell, Shorter University, and Kennesaw State to name a few. Lastly, we are a ministry of Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church, and both our church and school work hand-in-hand to make disciples for Jesus. Our goal is to use education so that our students become life-long followers of Christ!! Thank you for visiting our website. We hope that it is helpful in showing you who we are and what we are all about here at ELCA. Blessings! Dr. J. Keith Curlee Head of School GET TO KNOW DR. CURLEE

Barnes Edd Tucker 10.6.1942 - 1.4.2023 A life well-lived... "...those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever." ~Daniel 12:3 MEMORIAL SERVICE Friday, January 20 Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church Visitation: 12:15PM-1:15PM • Main Foyer Service: 1:30PM • Worship Center Livestream: http://elcalive.eagleslanding.com Submit Video Condolences and/or photos Bless the Tucker family with a donation in lieu of flowers ••• Mr. Tucker was the epitome of a cheerful giver. Since Marlene and the family are coming from all around the country, they will not be able to receive plants and flowers. In lieu of flowers, please consider blessing the family via the link below . "It has been on my heart to find a way to bless Marlene and the Tucker family, following the passing of our friend, Edd Tucker. It was a surprise to all of us, but not to Jesus, who called him to heaven on January 4. Mr. T was one-of-a-kind. He made everyone feel loved and special. If you knew him, you loved him. There is no better way to honor the memory of Edd Tucker than by loving on his family. It is a privilege to share our love with a gift to Marlene. Thank you in advance for blessing Marlene and the Tucker family with your love and prayers. Please feel free to visit and share this link ❤️". ~Danette Hylkema Patrick ••• GRASPING THE BATON "As I look out the window today, I see the promise of fall. October came in like summer, and she did not hand over the baton to the new season. However, as a believer, I know God decides when to pass the baton to a new season, a new chapter, a new opportunity, or a new beginning. Our Father controls all seasons, even the seasons of our lives. "I have been thinking for several months about this new season ahead for me and my wife, Marlene. We are getting older, but still full of energy. We are certainly in the fall season of our lives which may quickly turn into winter! The Lord has the plan before us. We are trusting Him for this next season of life. "A year from now, our lives will be quite different. Marlene and I will be officially retired in Austin, Texas. I won’t be getting up early to unlock classroom doors and pray for each student and teacher. I may not physically be walking the halls of ELCA, but my prayers will continue. It has been hard for me to hand over the baton of this season of life. I feel a great connection to the families, teachers and staff of our great school. I know and trust that Marlene and I will have many opportunities to volunteer, encourage, pray, and love those the Lord places in our path, just as He has here at ELCA. "In the months ahead, I pray that I will display, every day, the beautiful colors of fall in my smile, my daily commitment to Christ, my words, and my fervent prayers. I want to savor the moment, pursue peace, rejoice in God’s creation, passionately love others, especially those hurting in the world. I pray that I will learn contentment in this new season. I pray that I will open my eyes to October and see the beauty in this world. The colors should be breathtaking!" ~ELCA Blog entry by Mr. Tucker, 10/16/2019 Dear ELCA Students, Families, and Alumni, It is with saddened hearts that we bid farewell to our beloved Mr. Tucker. Mr. Edd Tucker was the elementary principal at ELCA from 1997 through 2020. Through his incredible span of 50 years in Christian education, Mr. Tucker's influence touched thousands of lives. He is remembered as a faithful servant-leader who honored his Lord and Savior with his service for others. Mr. Tucker was very tender-hearted and was easily moved to tears when speaking of the privileges of teaching and guiding the lives of children. He was a prayer warrior for his faculty, staff, and the entire ELCA family. Mr. Tucker and his wife, Marlene, were married for more than 56 years and served together in Christian education for over four decades. He is also survived by his son, Darren (Kim), daughter Dana (Brad), and seven grandchildren. ••• Mr. Tucker's impact is far-reaching and many have asked how best to pay respects to the Tucker family. If you would like to share a memory of Mr. Tucker or describe how he impacted your life; we are asking that you record your account on video. Photo submissions are also appreciated. Some of these videos will be shared at the memorial service for Mr. Tucker which will take place at Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church/ELCA on Friday, January 20 at 1:30PM . If we are not able to include your video in the memorial service, it will still be shared with the Tucker family. Those who are unable to attend the service may view it online at http://elcalive.eagleslanding.com .

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES THE MERIT PROGRAM GENERAL INFORMATION MERIT ACCOMMODATIONS MERIT CLASSES MERIT: STARS MERIT: FACS MERIT: GROW MERIT: ARROWSMITH MERIT: SPEECH & TUTORING The MERIT Program (Multi-faceted Educational Resources and Instructional Technology) provides assistance to our students who learn differently. The MERIT Program will assist identified students in becoming active and competent learners in the classroom. Please note that these are not tutorial services. Students may or may not need to receive additional tutorial assistance outside of the MERIT Program to help them with the classroom curricula. Students will not receive specialized instruction and are expected to function within the demands of ELCA’s curriculum on their grade level. Students receiving services will be billed the appropriate fees. If there is not a copy of a current evaluation in the student’s file, please provide us with this information. Services will not be provided until all records and evaluations are reviewed and Student Support Services determines the student’s eligibility for the program. We look forward to ministering to your child and assisting them in experiencing success in the classroom. Please be assured that assisting and equipping our students for success in the classroom and in the world for Christ continues to be our primary desire. Thank you for entrusting your child to us and for your continued commitment to their academic and spiritual growth. ELCA STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES STAFF: Dr. Anna King , Director of Student Support Services Dr. Wanda Cowan, Learning Differences Coordinator/Consultant Miranda Mirocha , Executive Administrative Assistant Blakeley Bradley , GROW, STARS Dee Kirby , FACS Maggie Wynn , STARS Lisa Schuerman , Arrowsmith All ELCA teachers have, at a minimum, a bachelor's degree or higher. Tuition processes for students enrolled in Student Support Services remains the same as for regular tuition (see https://www.elcaonline.org/facts .) "Eagle's Landing Christian Academy has raised the standards by which all other Christian schools should be measured with regard to students with learning challenges such as dyslexia." -Robert Langston Author, Motivational Speaker and Consultant CEO, The Dyslexia Educational Network, Inc. MERIT ACCOMMODATIONS MERIT CLASSES MERIT STARS In grades 3 through 5, MERIT features an opportunity for students to receive assistance in the area of reading. FACS (Fluency and Comprehension Skills) is a small reading class setting offered to students who are struggling with reading processes within the classroom. All work is on grade level and aligned with ELCA standards. The goal of the program is to assist students in becoming proficient readers who have a comprehensive understanding of what they read in all subject areas. Low student/teacher ratios help with individualizing instruction for each student based on their needs with an average 7:1 ratio in FACS. FACS / Student Support Educator: Dee Kirby MERIT provides classes within the department for middle and high school students in the areas of math, science, history, language arts, and foreign language. Enrollment is limited by space and requires a diagnosis or a teacher recommendation. All of the work is taught on grade level with academically rigorous curricula aligned with the scope and sequences of ELCA’s traditional classes. These courses are crafted with embedded accommodations designed to ultimately help the student be successful after MERIT. With a low student to teacher to ratio (10:1 average), teachers provide focused attention and alternate methods of teaching that are more conducive to non-traditional learners. One successful tenet of MERIT classes is the incorporation of application based projects to connect subject matter to real world experience. Director of Student Support Services: Dr. Anna King 10 MYTHS ABOUT MERIT SUCCESS IN MERIT CLASSES Qualifications for receiving Student Support Services within the MERIT Program: A student must be identified through a multi-faceted evaluation as having a learning difference in the area(s) of reading, written expression, math computation, problem solving, receptive or expressive language. Other areas of learning difference may include, but not limited to, organizational skills, attention problems, hyperactivity, spatial organization, sensory integration, speech and language, processing, social, and fine or gross motor skills. The student must continue to function within the curriculum requirements for his/her grade level. There is no specialized instruction. MERIT personnel will assist the identified student in becoming an active and competent learner in the classroom in the following ways: MERIT personnel will work in conjunction with the student’s classroom teachers to develop a learning profile on each student. MERIT personnel will develop an intervention plan that compliments the student’s learning profile and outlines the specific interventions that will be made for the student. MERIT personnel will communicate regularly with classroom teachers to discuss the student’s progress and continuous needs. MERIT personnel will submit regular progress updates to parents. MERIT personnel will schedule parent meetings at the beginning of each semester. A mid-semester meeting may be held if deemed necessary by parents, teachers, or M.E.R.I.T. personnel. MERIT personnel will coordinate and assist with multi-faceted evaluations provided privately or through local school districts. MERIT personnel will attend I.E.P. meetings at public schools. MERIT personnel will collaborate with the school nurse regarding medication issues or concerns as necessary. The MERIT Program will offer indirect support, direct support, or complete support to each student. Parents will select the option that best meets their child’s needs. Executive Administrative Assistant: Miranda Mirocha MERIT FACS The STARS program (Strategies Targeted at Reading Success) supplies enrichment for kindergarten through second grade readers using the Orton-Gillingham approach as its foundation. This highly structured program introduces the idea of breaking reading and spelling down into smaller skills involving letters and sounds, and then building on these skills over time. Students are involved in multi-sensory activities throughout this class to help strengthen phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary development, fluency and comprehension. Students use sight, hearing, touch and movement to connect language with letters and words. Low student/teacher ratios help with individualizing instruction for each student based on their needs with an average 5:1 ratio for the STARS program. STARS / Student Support Educator: Maggie Wynn Blakely Bradley MERIT GROW In grades 3 through 5, MERIT features an opportunity for students to receive assistance in the area of math. GROW (Grasping Reasoning Operations and Whole Numbers) assists students on improving number sense, algebraic thinking, data and measurement, and fractions. All work is on grade level and aligned with ELCA standards. Students have embedded review and added time for practice, in conjunction with the ELCA curriculum and another tech platform. In addition, students are given multi-layered help: visual, kinesthetic, auditory, and other hands on experiences. Low student/teacher ratios help with individualizing instruction for each student based on their needs with an average 7:1 ratio in GROW. GROW / Student Support Educators: Blakeley Bradley Angie Stitt MERIT ARROWSMITH The Arrowsmith Program is offered world-wide and ELCA is the only school offering the Arrowsmith Program in the state. Georgia is one of only 25 states where it is hosted. The Arrowsmith Program is based on the philosophy that it is possible to address specific learning difficulties by identifying and strengthening cognitive capacities. Third grade through middle school students may begin this program. Arrowsmith targets the root causes of learning differences through individualized student programming. Upon completion of Arrowsmith, the student will need little to no accommodations in the classroom. Arrowsmith is based upon innovative neuroscience research supporting that it is possible to improve cognitive function. Arrowsmith is a community, and our aim is that our students will: strengthen their cognitive capacities underlying their learning difficulties advance in the desire to become life-long, self-motivated learners develop and maintain confidence and a sense of their self-worth The cognitive program addresses learning differences including: Reading Writing Mathematics Comprehension Logical Reasoning Executive Function Visual Memory Auditory Memory Dyslexia Non-Verbal Learning Auditory Processing Attention One parent describes this program as life-changing. “My son graduated from the Arrowsmith program two years ago. When he entered the program in the 6th grade, he had a lack of confidence and faced many academic challenges. Arrowsmith has been an answer to prayer for our son. He is now a very confident 11th grader and is maintaining an A average. The Arrowsmith Program has opened up doors of opportunity for our son and given him a beautiful gift...unlimited possibilities for his future. We will forever be grateful for the Arrowsmith Program.” Arrowsmith / Student Support Educator : Lisa Schuerman ARROWSMITH WEBSITE MERIT SPEECH & TUTORING SPEECH and TUTORING We are fortunate to have a private speech therapist on staff who offers on-site speech evaluations and in-person speech therapy. Jordyn Montique is part of our Student Support Services team and provides free speech screenings to assess a range of communication skills including articulation, language, and fluency to determine if a full evaluation is needed. Please reach out to either Jordyn Montique at hello@raynetherapy.com or Dr. Anna King at anna.king@eagleslanding.org for more information.

Joining the Booster Club is a great way to support the student-athletes and the teams that represent ELCA Athletics. ELCA has a rich and proud tradition of excellence on and off the playing fields. The ELCA Booster Club’s financial contributions have made great impacts on all the ELCA sports teams and the many athletes that have participated in our programs throughout the years. By joining the ELCA Athletic Boosters you will be helping fund opportunities for our ever-developing sports programs. Our recent projects include the resurface of the track and the funding for the new hitting facility! There are many different levels of sponsorship available so that you can help support ELCA Athletics. Each one is designed to meet the needs you may have as either a Corporate Sponsorship or an Individual/Family Sponsorship. All membership levels include two (2) free entries into all the sporting events held on the campus here at ELCA. Joining the ELCA Booster Club is the only way that you can get in free to all the athletic events on campus. The only exclusion would be all GHSA playoff games in the respective sports. You will also get a minimum of two Homecoming Dinner tickets. Maybe you would want to know where you will sit at the football games, we have a level for that starting with our Bronze level. Maybe you would like to advertise your business; we have a few levels (Silver, Gold, and Platinum) which can help you with that. Seating in the Blue Booster section at the stadium is premium seating. We need to show our support for ELCA Football by filling it up each game. We will offer with the bronze level and above the ability to purchase extra seats for $75.00 a seat for the whole season. So, if you need more than the two seats that come with the membership you can now purchase more with this option. This is reduced from past years. Priority will be given first to renewals from last year and then new requests based on the date we receive the form. We would appreciate your support and you can see the attached form to join. Just send it in with your child and we can bill your account for your membership. This year we have added to the bottom of our membership form a pay in three payments line. Just check that line if you would like for us to bill you in three payments. We understand at the start of the new school year that expenses add up and we hope that the new payment in three can be of assistance to your family.
