Academy Family Back to School Letter
Dear AAA Families,
On behalf of the faculty and staff at the Academy for Academics and Arts, I want to welcome you to the 2024-2025 academic year. Whether you are a new or returning member of the AAA family, we are excited to have you as a part of our community, and we are thrilled at the opportunities we will have to grow together.
At AAA, we have a belief statement that guides our work and our connections to our students and families:
We believe we are a Family.
We believe the Academics and Arts are important.
We believe Diversity makes us stronger.
We believe the goal is to Keep Improving.
At AAA, we strive to create a strong community where every child can find a sense of belonging, thrive academically and artistically, and develop into confident and capable teenagers ready for the challenges of the next level.
Here are a few important details to help you get started:
1. The first day of school is August 1. School begins promptly at 8:00 and ends at 3:00. Please ensure your child arrives on time and is ready to learn.
2. A list of school supplies is available on our school website.
3. We believe that open communication between home and school is one of the most important elements for student success. Contact your student’s teachers, the school counselor, or the administration with any questions or concerns.
4. We welcome and encourage parental involvement. Please join our wonderful PTA and stay tuned for our monthly AAA Parent Academy series.
Our theme for this year is “Celebrating 40 Years of Magic.” We are confident that we will have a year filled with learning, growth, and magical experiences in every academic and artistic area of AAA. Thank you for allowing your children to grow with us. Thank you for your unwavering support.
Many thanks,
Tyrone Jones
