Update from the Principal
Greetings, Academy Families and Friends,
Happy October!
We are off to a great start at school. Students have quickly learned the routines and systems of our school, and everyone is working hard to do their best learning! Thank you for making the effort to get your children to school on time every day. Being present at school is vital not just for your child's academic success, but also for their social and emotional development. When children attend school regularly, they build strong relationships with teachers and peers, which fosters a sense of belonging and community. Each day in the classroom, students are presented with unique opportunities for learning and growth, both academically and personally. Your involvement and support in ensuring consistent attendance send a powerful message about the value of education. Together, we can help our children thrive in a positive and nurturing environment, laying the foundation for a successful future. Thank you for your commitment to being there for your child’s educational journey!
