Welcome back and Happy New Year! I hope this message finds you well and in high spirits as we gear up for another exciting semester. Looking back on “last year”, there are many highlights to share with you. Students enjoyed welcoming guest speakers to their classrooms. Our first spirit week of the year was very successful, and a majority of our students participated. Parent engagement in fall conferences was very high and Special Person’s Day was another huge success. Finally, our after-school clubs have been very well attended.
As the last half of the year unfolds, we hope to continue hosting guest speakers and planning both a second spirit week and an all-school assembly. We hope that our Conferences in February will be as successful as in the fall, and, if you can believe it, we have already started planning for Graduation. Please stay engaged, we will have many opportunities for you to come on campus.
Our new semester starts on January 22, 2024. Teachers and CBTs will be working on finalizing grades and comments to share in February at our Winter conferences. WIPPs (Whole Individual Progress Plans) will be sent out on February 9th.
As we get back into the swing of things, teachers are revisiting the expectations set in the fall. It always takes a little bit of time to adjust. I’m sure you are also seeing sleep and eating patterns return too. If we can help get your child back on track, just let us know! In a week or two things should be back to normal.
We are working on the 2024-25 Academy Calendar and will have a board-approved calendar for you after the Board's February meeting.
Wishing you and your family a fantastic return to school.
Warm regards,
Kim Strandemo
