Dear Advanced Learning Academy Families,

Our Fox Tech campus is hosting several exciting events open to all K-10 families this week.  First, families are invited to an Open Studio Art Night on Tuesday, October 18  from 5:30-7:00 PM in the cafeteria.  Students and families are invited to spend an evening making art with cardboard. Along with ALA faculty, representatives from Luminaria, Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum,, San Antonio Museum of Art, Southwest School of Art, Artpace,  San Antonio Public Library, and Bibliotech will be present for families to learn about upcoming unique programs and opportunities. We hope to see many of there!

On Wednesday, October 19, SAISD will host a community meeting at Fox Tech at 6:00 PM to provide information and answer questions about the November 8th Bond and Tax Ratification Elections.  All of our ALA families are encouraged to attend and review the SAISD webpage for more information.

We also invite all families to join us at An Evening with the Fox Tech and Advanced Learning Academy Fine Arts on Thursday, October 20, as the arts once again take center stage. The evening will feature a variety of performances from 6:00-10:00 PM in the Fine Arts Building.

Switching gears, after last week’s early release, the entire ALA faculty gathered at ALA on Euclid to share our professional successes thus far and identify the factors that led to those success.  While our school is still in its infancy, we celebrated the many ways that our design principles and commitments are being put into practice in the service of students.

Friday, October 21 will be the third of six early release days this year.  Our K-3 students will  be dismissed at 1:15 PM while our 4th-10th grade students will be dismissed at 1:30 PM.  All magnet buses will run immediately after dismissal at 1:15 PM or 1:30 PM. The after school programs on both campuses will begin at their regularly scheduled time. Students attending the after school programs will be supervised by campus faculty until the programs begin at the normal time.

Finally, a reminder that our  first Principal’s Coffee will be held at the Fox Tech campus at 9:00-9:45 AM on Friday, October 21.  Families are invited to attend the coffee meetings to hear campus updates.

Sincerely,

Kathy Bieser
