Ida Jew Academy Parent Newsletter
2019-2020
Ida Jew Academy
Happy Monday! We began last week with great intentional action on giving our best and not our first. As we commit with intention in the New Year/Leap Year lets continue to give our best and communicate giving your best not your first to our students. Together, we can continue to make an impact within our school community. Our intentional growth involves everyone and begins with everyone. We appreciate your continued support and just like our students are filled with excitement ready to leap into the new year.
Note: 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.
Go Pumas!

Program Spotlight: ALAS: Academic Language Acquisition in Spanish (Dual Immersion)
On Saturday, the ALAS Committee met with the SCCOE Multilingual Department and our Assistant Superintendent Dr. Elida Macarthur. Our teachers and staff continue to develop our instructional programs here at IJA in our everyday efforts to maximize the instructional experience at IJA. IJA is a Dual Immersion School focused on grade-level academic achievement, bilingualism and bi-literacy, and sociocultural competence.
