Golf for Kids
ProKids Golf - It is off University and 52nd street, the great thing is that they offer FREE golf lessons for kids, as well as a learning center! There are no strings attached and I was very impressed by what they are doing for and with kids to help them be successful in life. They focus on much more than golf, but use that as a hook to help kids get motivated in other areas of life. Their website is: http://www.prokidsonline.org and it is worth checking out. There are many families who may enjoy these resources. Their phone number is 583-6106 or 582-7884.
Happy Golfing!

Spend the Summer with High Tech High!
New in summer 2009 - The Summer Academies at High Tech High
In summer 2009, the High Tech High charter schools in Point Loma will introduce three separate summer day programs at the elementary, middle and high school levels, open to families throughout San Diego County.
One-week sessions for elementary school students and two-week sessions at the middle and high school levels, offer project-based learning activities in the mornings complemented by exploratory electives in the afternoon. The middle and high school programs are modeled after many of High Tech High's most successful and popular team projects in subjects as varied as robotics, art, online game design, film making, theater, animation, engineering and creative writing. The afternoon program also includes an eclectic mix of options that include photography, painting, fitness courses, music and SAT prep.
Three two-week sessions will run between the dates of June 29 – August 7, and discounted fees are available for active military families, early enrollment, students enrolled in multiple sessions and families enrolling more than one child. Weekly fees start at $290.00, and financial aid is available for qualified families.
Detailed information and online enrollment is available online at www.hightechhigh.org/summer or requests for printed information can be addressed to summer@hightechhigh.org.

Report Cards!
Report cards are coming soon. We hope that you will like them. Christine put in a lot of time and effort to ensure that parents' needs would be met through them. Tina then put them into a very nice format that is easy to read.
Our initial hope was that they would come out the last week in January. That said, we didn't finalize them until yesterday and we want to make sure that teachers have time to put in thoughtful feedback and comments, so we've extended the date to February 2nd.
Report Cards will be available for pick up by parents/guardians the week of February 2nd in our main office (with Donna, the new Administrative Coordinator). Those reports not picked up by the end of the week will be mailed home.
Here is some additional important information:
IA Phone Home - On Sundays, Innovations Academy will be sending phone messages with any important information for the week. We will be setting these calls between 6:30 - 7pm so that you can be ready with your calendar to write down any important dates or notes. We look forward to touching base with you weekly!
Friday Next Year Committee - On Fridays from 11:30am - 12:30pm IA staff meet to talk about ideas and plans for next year. All parents are invited to attend and we'd love to have your support. This is a great way to stay in the loop of future progress and planning. Some items that we are discussing right now are scheduling, facilities, school calendar, and Friday Partnerships. If you can't attend these meetings but would like to give input, please email us!
Facilities - To best serve our student population IA does have the option to stay at the Kroc Center next year and has the option to find something locally that will work even better for our program. We are currently looking at new sites in the area so that we know what is out there. If anyone has any ideas or recommendations please let us know.
Parent Meeting - Stay Tuned for our next Parent Meeting! The topic will be Direct Instruction. We have one meeting scheduled in the MPR on February 9th. Another meeting will be scheduled shortly for later in February. Parent participation is crucial to student success! Mark your calendar!
Thank you all for your support!
