A Note from Ms. Davis
Dear Families,
Merry Christmas! The next two weeks are sure to fly by as quickly as the past few months have come and gone. At iAcademy, we are savoring each moment - our days are filled with decorations, violin lessons, playing, math problems, collaborating, PBL units and reading! Have you heard your kids reading lately? WOW!
This week, we will participate in the Hour of Code - an international event to promote computer science and coding!
Being at school is so important! If your child needs to be out, please let us know! There are several ways to make up missed work. Please call or email - don't just ignore this thoughtful gesture because we worry about them when they are not in class!
Please let me know if there is any way I can assist you and your family.
Warm regards,
Cindy Davis,
Principal
