Principal's Message

Congratulations to all on a great first couple weeks of school!

Our staff have been able to reach out and support students, both in person and online, our students have already started learning and producing amazing work, and our families and community are showing up in big ways to ensure a great start to the school year.

Launch week at Innovation Academy included two mini-projects and we are excited to host the Maslow Project mini-golf night at our first Hexibition on October 9th, along with our several other projects coming in the next few weeks. Launch week at Innovation Online included two days of connection with Tiger Time teachers to ensure classes were set, Zoom links were accessible, and students could reset their passwords.

If you aren’t already following our social media accounts, join us on Facebook or Instagram and follow to stay up to date on the awesome learning happening at Innovation Academy. We look forward to a great 2024-2025 school year!
