Can you believe September is almost over? This means we've been in school for nearly one month now! It's been wonderful to see our hallways buzzing with activity, our classrooms filled with curious minds, and our community coming back together with such enthusiasm.
By now, students have settled into their routines, teachers have gotten to know their new classes, and I hope you're all finding your rhythm at home as well. This early stretch of the year sets a strong foundation, and I'm proud of how our students have embraced new challenges, made new friends, and jumped back into learning.
As we continue settling into the year, please let us know if you need anything. If you have questions about your student's classes, please don't hesitate to reach out directly to their teachers — they're your best resource for day-to-day updates.
I also want to apologize for any confusion regarding Curriculum Night. We wanted to make sure it didn't conflict with our neighboring schools' schedules, so we've moved it to next month. Details are below.
Looking ahead, I'm excited to share that our Flex classes will begin next month in October, including access to the thrift store. Speaking of new opportunities, we're also in the process of launching a school coffee shop (for staff), where students will gain hands-on experience working in a small business. More details to come, but I'm excited and hopeful we can get it up and running next month as well.
As always, please continue to check our school calendar for the latest happenings at ATA.
Take care,
Dr. G
