Academy Adventures Midtown
-Building on Strengths-
Welcome to Academy Adventures Midtown!
We are so excited to the begin the new school year! We understand that there are a lot of unknowns going into the school year and some fear. Rest assured, we have you and your child's best interests at heart and will do everything to provide a safe, fun, innovative, engaging education for your child!
This school year, we will begin with Distance Learning, similar to how we ended the year but better! There will be more interaction between the students and teachers as well as between the entire school! It will almost be like being in the building!
Below are links to the Distance Learning and In Building Learning Program Policies, as well as our Distance Learning Attendance Policy. Please carefully read each of the policies and let us know if you have any questions.
The Distance Learning Program will continue to be available when In Building Learning begins. Distance Learners will get the same benefits as In Building Learners, including the ability to come by and pick up free breakfast and lunch. The building will be open for Distance Learners between 7:30 AM - 2:15 PM if they need a place to go. They will not be in the classroom with the other students but monitored by a staff member in a separate room where they will continue to do their Distance Learning assignments.
Please do not hesitate to call the school with any questions and/or concerns.
Campbell's Corner
Hello and Welcome!
Welcome to our new families, thank you for choosing Academy Adventures Midtown! Welcome back to our returning families, we are excited to see you again! We are looking forward to working with you to make this a wonderful, busy, learning-filled year.
We are hard at work preparing for the new school year. Due to guidelines provided by the Health Department and recommendations by the Department of Education and the Government, we are changing the look of the classrooms. We will do our best to keep them as fun and friendly as always. We are also taking the opportunity to add some new ways to teach our students.
We know that life is still full of uncertainty and that the past few months have been difficult for many of our families. We appreciate you and are so happy that we are continuing this journey in your child’s learning together.
Mrs. Gilbert's Class
Welcome to the next AMAZING school year at Academy Adventures Midtown!
My name is Mrs. Gilbert, and I get to be the teacher to the Kindest Kindergartners, Fabulous First Graders and Super Second Graders!
I am going to let you in on a few secrets! I LOVE dogs! I have FIVE of them! I have worked with kids in a variety of settings, for the last sixteen years! I ride motorcycles, but do not know how to ride a bike; and I LOVE coffee!
Working at Academy Adventures Midtown is one one of my favorite things, BUT that is not a secret!
There are more than a few things to look forward to in the upcoming 2020-2021 school year! Though we will be starting this INCREDIBLE year through Distance Learning, we will meet and continue the journey with SuperKids! I cannot wait for my Kindest Kinders to meet them, and excited for my Fabulous First Graders and Super Second Graders to see how much they have grown over the summer...JUST LIKE YOU!
Our class will work our magic in Go Math! We will be some of the best math magicians EVER at Academy Adventures Midtown!
We will have whole school STEM and ART projects to show how crafty and scientific we can be!
There are some major exciting surprises for our technology department! Stay tuned for that!
To my students' parents, I cannot thank you all enough for your patience and understanding during this trying time. I look forward to creating a safe and healthy atmosphere for your child. We will not only be focused on your child’s academic success, but proudly support your child’s social and emotional needs. It is imperative that your child feels safe, encouraged and confident as they grow into our future.

Mrs. Campbell's Class
Hello and welcome to our class!
My name is Mrs. Tricia Campbell and I am so excited to be teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade this year. I have been working in education for 21 years and I have been teaching for 11 years. I have taught kindergarten through 5th grade and have worked with 6th through 8th grade.
A little about me. I am married with 3 children and have 5 grandchildren with another one due in late December. I have an adorable Pomeranian named Abby. I enjoy camping and reading. I was born in Missouri and have lived in Washington, Nebraska, Colorado, California and Texas but I call Tucson home.
Some of the things we will be learning and practicing in language arts include:
- Proper usage of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, and other parts of speech
- Using root words, prefixes, suffixes, context clues and vocabulary to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words
- Reading fluency and comprehension
- Reading and writing in cursive
- Writing narratives, opinion, and explanatory pieces
In math we will be working on:
- Multiplication/division facts
- Place value
- Fractions
- Factors and multiples
- 2- and 3-dimensional shapes
- Using measurement and data
We will also be learning kindness, self-confidence, and how to work together.
Meet the FLAT Academy Adventures Midtown Teachers!
Let us introduce ourselves! We are the FLAT Teachers of Academy Adventures Midtown! Please take us wherever you go.
You see, we are very sad we cannot see you every day in person,
so we made a plan to be with you as you play and do your work at home.
Think of us as your ally and friend.
We will be with you until the end.
Use us to remind you that your teachers are your biggest fans.
Just like we were before this all began.
We think you’re amazing and we know this is true,
because you are the greatest at being YOU!
Tell us about your fun every day.
We cannot wait to hear about it in each and every way.
Get your thinking caps on and be clever,
We cannot wait to go on our first adventure.
So even though we cannot be together,
Don’t be sad or discouraged whatsoever,
Because a little bit of the Academy Adventures Midtown
teachers will be with you forever!
Love, Flat Mrs. Gilbert, Mrs. Campbell & Mrs. Angela
National School Lunch & Breakfast Programs
Academy Adventures Midtown is continuing to serve Free Breakfast and Lunch to ALL students as part of the Community Eligibility Program through the National School Lunch Program. All students are eligible to eat for free!
We will begin serving on August 6th, even though we will be Distance Learning. Please contact the school for times to pick up meals for enrolled students.
Healthy Snacks!
The past couple of years, the students have had the opportunity to learn how to make healthy snacks through our Title IVA program. Unfortunately, due to the current health concerns we will not be offering the program this year. We are very sad and know the students will miss being able to cook and bake daily.
However, we are very fortunate to be able to team up with a local non-profit organization, Cakes for Causes! Cakes for Causes is comprised of state certified bakers (many with their own in home baking businesses!) that volunteer their time and baking skills to provide other non-profit organizations with baked goods. Their mission is Healing, appreciating, and showing our community members they are valued through our sugar art. Several of their certified bakers have volunteered to make healthy snacks for our students! For Distance Learning, we will send home a snack with breakfast and lunch and for In Building Learning the students will get to eat them during normal snack breaks.
Please take a minute to check out their website at: https://www.cakesforcauses.org
Thank you Cakes for Causes for your support and providing our students with healthy snacks!
