WELCOME BACK:
Welcome to a new school year! We are excited to begin another year of learning, growing, and building positive habits together. This month, we are focusing on our goal to “Be Present”—which means staying in our assigned location, being engaged, and making responsible choices throughout the school day. By practicing this goal, we can create a safe, focused, and supportive environment where everyone can learn and succeed. We look forward to a wonderful year ahead!The Academy Team
Attendance:
Reporting Absences
We want to make sure every school day counts! If your student will be absent, please remember to report their absence within 3 days so we can ensure it is marked as excused.
Whenever possible, please use Safe Arrival to log the absence. It’s the quickest way to keep us in the loop and helps our team ensure everyone is safe and accounted for.
Be sure you have re-synced your contact in SchoolMessenger in order to use the app.
Thank you so much for partnering with us to keep our daily routines running smoothly!
Upcoming Important Dates:
September 21- No School
September 22- Homecoming Deadline to Submit Behavior Contract and Payment
October 3- Homecoming @ 7:00PM
October 12- No School
Project Based Learning:
Students will engage in Project Based Learning in which they complete hands-on projects in their core content areas. The goal of these projects are to have students problem solve, think creatively, and engage in real-world consumer literacy and math scenarios.
Social Emotional Learning:
We’re excited to kick off a new school year in our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) group! In this group, students will build important skills such as self-awareness, emotional regulation, communication, healthy relationships, problem-solving, and coping with stress.
Our goal is to create a space where students can connect with others, learn more about themselves, practice new strategies, and feel comfortable being themselves. Students will have the opportunity to participate in discussions, activities, and real-life scenarios to help strengthen the skills they can use both in and outside of the classroom.
We are looking forward to a great year together!

What is PBIS?
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. It also improves teacher health and wellbeing. It is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where everyone thrives.
