#BeABlessing Campaign
The Academy Board of Directors is excited to once again launch the #BeABlessing campaign this holiday season for employees. Nearly 250 Academy teachers and staff work tirelessly for our children every day, and this is an opportunity for you to recognize their commitment and dedication. During the month of December, we encourage you to look for simple ways to #BeABlessing to Academy staff. Whether it's sending your child’s teacher a small gift card to their favorite coffee spot, or writing a note of thanks to a staff member, the time you take to recogonize an employee means the world to them. We even have ways for you to help bless the team members working hard in the background that you may not see, but who are critical to the experience our children have at school.
Please take a moment to watch this short video from one of our Board Members, Larissa Fransau. To donate to the #BeABlessing campaign, you can give using the QR code located on the upper right hand corner or by using this link: #BeABlessing.
Many of our staff have completed the Academy Staff Favorite Things spreadsheet, so you can use that to see what little gifts they may enjoy. Never underestimate the power of the written word - people love to receive handwritten notes.
Thank you for your support,
The Academy Board

Important News from the Registrar’s Office
Can you believe it's already time to secure your student’s enrollment for the 2023-24 school year? We can’t either! Parents will complete Intent to Return forms using the same PowerSchool site used for online check-in; this is not your parent portal.
On Sunday, January 1, 2023 you will receive an email from PowerSchool with a link and Snapcode for each of your students. If you did not complete the online check-in, there will be instructions on how to create your account within this email.
The deadline to return completed Intent to Return forms is Friday, January 13, 2023. This will be the only opportunity to secure a seat for students currently attending The Academy for the 2023-24 school year. If your student will not be returning to The Academy, you must still complete the Intent to Return form and indicate where the student will be attending and why they are transferring.
Thank you for your assistance.
The 2023-24 Lottery is Open
The 2023-24 lottery window is now open. If you have a student that currently does not attend The Academy but you would like them to at the beginning of the 2023-24 school year, you can submit a lottery application today. Access to The Academy lottery application can be found by clicking here.
If your family has students currently attending The Academy, you MUST complete the lottery application for those you wish to enroll. There will be a place for you to indicate that the applicant has a sibling who currently attends The Academy.
Please spread the word to family and friends who might be interested in becoming part of our community. Word of mouth is the best advertisement and the nicest compliment.
The lottery window is open through January 15, 2023.
