Message From the Principal

Dear Academy Families,

As we begin a new school year, I encourage all parents and guardians to make every effort to attend Back-to-School Night. This evening is an important opportunity to begin building a strong partnership between home and school and to learn more about your child’s educational experience.

Back-to-School Night gives you the opportunity to meet your child’s teachers, learn about the curriculum and instructional goals for the year, and gain a better understanding of classroom expectations, routines, and ways you can support your child at home. It is also a chance to become familiar with the classroom environment and ask questions about the year ahead.

Our teachers work hard to create meaningful learning experiences for your children, and your involvement sends a powerful message to them about the importance of their education. When parents and teachers work together and maintain open communication, we create a stronger support system for every child.

This year, we are holding Back to School Nights on two separate evenings, allowing families with children in multiple grades more opportunities to attend and meet with each of their children's teachers.

Monday- September 21, 2026 Grades 3K- 3

Tuesday- September 22, 2026 Grades 4-8

Thank you for making these evenings a priority and for partnering with us as we work together to make this a successful, meaningful, and joyful school year for all of our students.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Warmly,

Miriam Bonici

Let's Work Together to Be On Time!

The way we begin our day can have a lasting impact on how we experience it. At the Academy, the school day begins promptly at 8:00 a.m., and we encourage all families to make arriving on time a priority.

Being at school on time allows students to begin their day calmly and confidently. When children arrive by 8:00 a.m., they have the opportunity to settle into their classrooms, greet their teachers and classmates, prepare their materials, and be ready to learn from the very beginning of the school day. Even arriving a few minutes late can mean missing important announcements, morning routines, instruction, or opportunities to connect with their classmates.

Developing the habit of being on time also teaches children an important life skill.

Punctuality helps children develop responsibility, independence, organization, and respect for the time of others—qualities that will serve them well throughout their education and beyond.

We understand that mornings can sometimes be challenging, and we appreciate the effort families make each day to get their children to school on time. Establishing consistent morning routines at home can make a significant difference.

Let’s work together to ensure that every student begins each day prepared, present, and ready to learn. A strong start at 8:00 a.m. helps set the tone for a successful day!

i-Ready Diagnostic Window is Opening

Let's Get Ready!

During the week of September 21st,, students will take the Math Diagnostic Assessment. i-Ready uses a scale to measure student performance indicating the skills they have already mastered and the skills they need to work on throughout the year. Parent reports will be sent home in October. It is important that all students try their best so that we are able to collect good data and track academic growth throughout the year. Student Personal Instructional Paths are set from this first diagnostic. Kindergarten students will begin the assessment on September 22nd as they are still getting the hang of being kindergartners!

Academy Email Addresses

Dear Divine Wisdom Families,

Strong communication between home and school is an essential part of creating a successful school experience for every child. When parents and teachers communicate openly and work together, we are better able to understand each child’s needs, celebrate their successes, and address concerns before they become larger challenges.

We encourage parents to reach out whenever you have a question, concern, or important information that may help us better support your child. Communication is most effective when it is timely, respectful, and focused on finding solutions together.

There are several ways to stay connected with the Academy:

Email your child’s teacher when you have questions about classroom learning, assignments, or your child’s day-to-day experience. Your child's teacher should always be your first point of contact.
Contact the main office when you have questions regarding school policies, attendance, schedules, procedures, or other general concerns.
Reach out to the administration when a concern requires additional support or cannot be resolved at the classroom level.

A Quick Reference list of our Shared Email Boxes (Gmelius) is provided below, which helps ensure that messages are received, tracked, and organized. Families may still call, but email is now the preferred method of contact.

Please include your child’s name, grade, and class number when emailing.

We are always here to help!
