Dear ASA Families,

We kindly ask that you avoid pulling your students out during lunch or recess, as it can be difficult to locate them during these active times. If possible, please plan pick-ups outside of these periods to help us ensure smooth transitions. Please see the bell schedule here for times.

Additionally, we request that water bottle drop-offs be limited. Our school has filtered water stations located throughout campus, so students can easily access water as needed.

Thank you for helping us maintain a smooth and organized school day!

We are thrilled to announce that Allegiance STEAM Academy is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year!

However, if you have a child on our waitlist for the current year and would like to apply for next year, we encourage you to do so during this Open Enrollment period.

The assemblies had an incredible impact on our community and allowed our students to understand the importance of honoring Veterans. Veterans will be invited to sit on stage and participate in a panel discussion. They may participate as much or as little as they are comfortable. Our main focus is to honor those that have served.

Covering essential topics such as social media's impact on well-being, the neurological effects of screen use, privacy considerations, and the hidden influences of social media algorithms, the discussion offered families valuable tools and perspectives to guide their children in a digitally driven world.
