Poinciana Academy of Fine Arts

Happy New Year!

We are excited to begin the 3rd quarter! We had an amazing start to January! We returned from break and hit the ground running with our teaching and learning. We saw lots of collaboration across campus in addition to the use of manipulatives in math. Teachers and students came back ready to learn and it shows! We are looking forward to an outstanding quarter!

Since we are now in the middle of the school year, our students will be working on goal setting and making a plan to progress towards those goals. We encourage all our PAFA families to speak with their students about their academic and personal goals to further support them on their journey.

Thank you for your continued support!
