AAA 2023-2024 Weekly Attendance Updates!
One of our 2023-2024 Goals is to keep our overall attendance rate at 95% or higher for the entire school year! We are currently at 95.12% for the year! Our attendance rate for this week was 95%! PLEASE help us continue to reach our goal- we need your children with us at school EVERY DAY!! We have fallen below our overall goal of 95%, but it will not take long to get back above that goal! Students must stay home if they are vomiting or have a fever. We certainly want sick children to stay home and get healthy. That being said- if children are healthy, we need them at school with us! Please continue to support learning for your student and our school as a whole!! We love you!

ACADEMY CHILDREN'S THEATER SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES!
The Academy for Academics and Arts Middle School is proud to present our 2023-2024 season! These productions feature approximately 90 middle school students as cast members and technical crew. Did you know that AAA is the only school in the state of Alabama recognized as a Premier Community for Theatre Education? The Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) recognizes individual schools that demonstrate outstanding achievement in their efforts to provide theatre access and education to all students. As a Title 1 Magnet School, we are fortunate to be able to provide this inclusive quality theatre experience to these students and the community! Our students are thriving both academically and in the arts because of supporters like you! We are asking for your support as a sponsor/contributor. No amount is too great or small. Will you help?
