Academy Announcements
Dear Academy Families and Friends,
I hope this message finds you well and ready to return from a wonderful school break. School resumes tomorrow, bright and early! We cannot wait to see you!
- Prior to the school break, out school celebrated our monthly ROAR assembly, recognizing some amazing students and staff. This month, in addition to our ROAR awards, we launched a new award, called the Wit & Grit award, showcasing students who are doing amazing work in our ELA classes.
- Kindergarten report cards for the first semester are still available through the Aspen family portal
- Academy scored in the 75th percentile in the state' s accountability measure in SY24. For more information regarding our school's annual report card, please click here.
- ACCESS testing for our English Learners is complete. Students worked incredibly hard and celebrated this milestone on the Friday before the break.
- The 100th day celebrations and Valentine's Day book bingo were very well attended! We are looking forward to many more great activities as we approach the spring and the second half of the year activities.
Welcome back!
Mr. Higgins
