Principal's Corner
Eagle Parents,
We are excited to announce the launch of our exclusive Summer Boost Program at Woodlawn Academy! Flyers will be sent home with students this Monday, providing all the details you need.
The district has opted not to conduct a summer program as they have in the past but our Charter Partner TCIS (The Texas Council of IB Schools) has worked hard to apply for and be awarded a grant though the Bloomberg foundation!
Why the Summer Boost Program?
This program is designed specifically for students who show great potential but might need extra support in math or reading. By offering targeted instruction and engaging activities, we aim to help your child thrive academically and personally.
Program Details:
- Dates: June 11 - July 18, from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM
- No Classes: June 19 and July 1-5
- Location: Woodlawn Academy, 1717 W. Magnolia, San Antonio, TX 78201
Incentives for Students:
- Registration: Summer Boost swag and a limited edition personalized t-shirt
- Attendance Prizes: Weekly drawings for iPads, televisions, and other great prizes (must be present on Fridays to win)
What to Expect:
- Meals: Breakfast and lunch provided
- Transportation: Bussing available upon request
- Activities: 1.25 hours of fun activities daily, 1.5 hours of math, and 1.5 hours of reading
- Enrichment: Hands-on activities, fun classes, and great teachers
Important Note:
- This program is by invitation only. If your child was not initially selected, we encourage you to apply. However, please be aware that spots are limited, and there may be a waiting list.

As Kofi Annan wisely stated, "Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope." This insight underscores the importance of literacy as a foundational skill that opens doors to endless opportunities. Our Summer Boost Program is dedicated to building this bridge for our students, providing them with the tools they need to succeed academically and beyond. By nurturing their literacy and math skills in a supportive and engaging environment, we are not only helping them excel in school but also empowering them with the confidence and abilities to achieve their dreams. We are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to cross this bridge to a brighter future.
