JUNE 2022

Congratulations, Graduates!

Traditional graduation ceremonies were back this year for the first time since 2019 and there were smiles all around as we celebrated the achievements of our Upper and Lower school students.

Congratulations to all of our graduates for your hard work! We will miss your smiling faces in our classrooms and hallways, and wish you the very best as you continue your life journey.

Meet New Principal, Charley Frick

Spectrum360 welcomes our new Academy360 Lower School principal, Charles (Charley) Frick! Mr. Frick comes to us from the Wanaque School District and had this special message for staff after taking up the role this month: "Learning about the school, getting to know the students and watching you all in action solidifies my initial thoughts that this is a very special place to work!"

FAREWELL TO OUR RETIREES

This June we said farewell to a number of longtime Academy360 staff retiring this year:

The A360 greenhouses have been calming oases for students and staff alike, thanks to Carol's smiling face and her love of nature.

Alice Palmer, Academy360 Lower School Nurse - 15 years: From medical care to a reassuring hug, Nurse Alice dedicated her career to providing the best care to our students.

Linda Feldman, Music Teacher - 32 Years:

Gina Catania, Academy360 Lower School Principal - 33 Years: Gina's dedication to quality education, strengthening our students' abilities and creating positive life experiences has been a hallmark of her career.
