Parents, we need your help in filling out this short 10 question survey. It should take no longer than 5 to 10 minutes. This survey is a requirement from GBSD as part of our charter contract and is necessary for our continued AdvancEd accreditation. The accreditation is important as it makes our diplomas more valuable when students choose to go on to other endeavors. Please click on this link.

No Chess Club on 21 January
- Due to final exams and end of term, we will not hold chess club next week. Chess Club will return on Wednesday, 28 January.
- As a reminder, in the Spring term we will hold a Students-vs.-Staff chess competition. This is a really fun, great event that you should consider being part of. The competition is still months away, but beginning January 28th it will be time for the students to get ready! Whether you play chess now or not, come on out and start learning. From what I hear, the staff are not preparing for this event very well, so students should be able to really take it to them this year. So, come on out! For questions and info, contact Mr. Kitchens.
Math Labs Closed, 20-23 January
We will need to close our math labs next week to accommodate the Segment Exam special sessions for students.

This is the first call for literary journal submissions in poetry, short fiction, creative nonfiction, photography, and art. If you would like to submit a piece for consideration in the 2014/2015 literary journal, please email your work to struyk@mewebacademy.org.

College Now!
As we work on expanding our College Now courses, I would like to engage students in talking with me about the option. Would you please include the following:
Metro East Web Academy's College Now Dual Credit Program
College Now provides high school students with the opportunity to complete both a high school and college course simultaneously and receive credit from both schools. The coursework is equivalent to taking a course on the Mount Hood Community College Campus.
All the dual credit courses are taught by MEWA instructors approved by the community college. If you are a junior or senior, please contact Sam May-Varas at 503-258-4790 to discuss this great opportunity.
- Seniors that still need to complete their writing and work samples: The test will be February 5 and March 5, from 9 am to 11 am. Students can sign up here!
- Now available on our website:
We can now accept payments via PayPal (and Amazon Payments soon) for fees or donations. If you would like to donate to our school, we use the money to pay for scholarships and activities such as field trips, incentives, and other extras that we provide our students and programs. As we are a 501 (c) (3), all donations are tax deductible and we will furnish you with a letter with our federal tax ID #.
- Parent Requirement:
Every week parents will complete the “parent weekly check-in” accessible on the MEWA website under the Parent Resource Page. It is a “live form” that asks for your name, the student/s name, and whether your child/s has completed the MINIMAL requirement for the previous week.
The MINIMAL requirement is at least 1 assignment per class per week. The parent weekly check in needs to be completed by Monday for the previous week, we understand some students may work through the weekend.
