IA's First Parent Night of the New School Year

Future Parent Meetings

· Our first parent meeting was held on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2009. The meeting area was packed, so next time 1/2 of the parent group will meet with teachers while the other parent group meets with administrators and then the two groups will switch.

Be a Good Neighbor

· Parking in IA or blank spots ONLY! After 6 p.m., and on weekends, you can park anywhere.

Drop-Off and Pick-up

· Drop-off begins 15 minutes before class. If you arrive earlier than that, you will need to pay for before-school care. Pick-up begins at the END of school. If you arrive early, we will ask you to park.

· The only exception includes siblings in upper and lower grades, who need to be in before or after care, until their class starts or gets out..

Lunch

· Bring a bag lunch.

· We have microwave ovens in the classrooms.

· You may purchase lunches Monday-Friday (except Wed.) See Donna in the reception area for details and to place orders.

Needs of Innovations Academy

· More Students! All classes have openings (except kindergarten)! As much as we love the small class size, unless we get a big donor we need more students to bring class sizes to around 20 students.

· Handy parents. There may be work left from the weekend. Check with Donna to see if there are any more projects that need to be completed. at the school.

Info

· Blogging-Teachers blog each week on the IA website. They will let you know which day.

· Tuesday, September 22, is Family Game Night at the school. It will be $1/per person and you will go home with a free game of Bingo. A variety of games are available to play for free or as little as 25 cents a play. If you’d like to help, please email Amy@InnovationsAcademy.org

First Week, Fall 2009

Congrats on a great first week everyone! IA has been full of smiles, fun, and engagement. I've seen students busy at creating fountains, measuring themselves, learning math drills through outdoor games, writing, eating lunch, making new friends, and enjoying their new environment at IA.

I've spoken with many parents this week who are more than happy with their first week at IA and are looking forward to the continued building of our community.

Next week we'll start again on Monday with those happy faces and warm reception. We're all very excited.

Have a great weekend,

Danielle
