As you may be aware, your child/children have specific strengths/weaknesses in the ways they learn. In the past thirty years there has been a tremendous amount of research into just how our kids learn. This program will help you understand a little more about your child’s particular learning style.
Our first “Lunch & Learn” will focus on these learning styles and how the Academy seeks to address each and every child’s specific learning style. Our speaker is Dr. Ann Aust, a professor at North Greenville University. Ann is the Chair of the Department of Early Childhood Education. There will be a Q & A time as well as a panel discussion with four Academy teachers.
Parents are partners in the educational process and are welcome at The Academy. We understand that the parent knows the child better than the teacher and teachers many times need information to unlock the mind or heart of the student. For this reason, we like to work closely with all parents.
The Academy strives to maintain a cooperative spirit of giving and receiving information through appropriate channels of communication. Our teachers are available for conferences and questions about academic performance and classroom behavior. An administrator is available to help resolve issues that are beyond the scope and responsibility of the teacher. We refer to Mathew 18 as our Biblical model of communication and conflict resolution.
We communicate with parents through report cards (sent home each 9 weeks), parent/teacher conferences, our school newsletters, Friday Folders (each weeks assignments are sent home along with additional communication), PTO meetings/mailings, Academy mailings, classroom visits, and telephone and email communication. Please use the links to the right to learn more, and check back, as we will be frequently updating our site!
