Ida Jew Academy Parent Newsletter
2019-2020
Ida Jew Academy
Dear IJA Families,
This week is the first week of Fall where we are all reminded of the importance of embracing change and preparing for growth. As a school community we are embracing the change of a new school year, but also preparing for growth to meet the needs of our students. Let us continue to remind our students to look at the world with optimism when faced with change and how they continue to grow and develop each and every day. In addition, It is also important for us to communicate to our students the understanding that everyone has value and purpose and to understand each others positive intentions (Go Pumas!).
Our parent newsletter includes some important information about upcoming events/ announcements and communication. We will also be regularly updating information on our facebook page, web site and school marquee.
I am eager to meet each of you and invite you to stop by my office to get to know you and how I can be of support to you throughout the school year.
