Allegiance STEAM Academy is committed to continually improving your child's education. We're currently evaluating our school calendars, specifically the weekly early dismissal days used for staff planning and development.

Why the change?

Our two schools currently have different early dismissal days (Fontana on Wednesday, Chino on Friday). To find the best day for staff collaboration and ultimately, better learning, we'll be aligning the early dismissal day for both schools in the 2024-25 school year. This means one school's early dismissal day will change.

The decision to evaluate aligning our minimum days is based on data collected this year to see which day works best for staff professional development and ultimately benefits student learning the most.

Your input matters

We understand this change may impact families and staff. To gather your feedback and ensure a smooth transition, we're holding town hall meetings for each campus:

• Chino: April 2nd, 8:15 AM & 6:00 PM
• Fontana: April 3rd, 8:15 AM & 6:00 PM

What to expect:

• Learn about the rationale behind aligning early dismissal days.
• Hear about the pros and cons of Wednesday vs. Friday dismissal.
• Share your thoughts and ask questions about the proposed change.

We encourage you to attend and share your thoughts! Staff will consider all input before proposing a formal plan.

Here's the timeline:

Opportunities for input and comment:

• April 2nd and 3rd, 2024 - Town Hall Meetings
• April 8th, 2024 - Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors: Discussion and vote on the proposed early dismissal day.
• May 6th, 2024 - Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors: Discussion and Vote on the proposed 2024-25 school calendars.

We look forward to working together to strategically align early dismissal days for student success!

As our ASA Counseling Program grows we want to share with our families what we are learning and focusing on as a school in the socio-emotional realm. Each week will feature the school wide Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skill, a breathing strategy, and grade level lesson topics.

Due to Spring Break, there will be no SEL this week.
