Dear Advanced Learning Academy Families,
On Monday, January 9th and Thursday, January 12th, ALA on Euclid will host a Parent Informational Meeting for Prospective Families & Students beginning 5:30 p.m. in the gymnasium for pre-K through 3rd grade families. These are the last two informational sessions before the January 31st, 2017, application deadline. If you have friends or family who are interested in ALA, please encourage them to attend an informational meeting. They do not need to register for the informational session. As a reminder, although siblings of current students may be granted automatic admission if seats are available, they must submit an application by the deadline in order to be eligible.
At the informational session, families may hear about one of our K-3 students’ most recent initiatives. Students have been exploring the Japanese tradition of Soji, meaning “to clean.” Many classrooms have elected to participate in Soji time at the end of each day to demonstrate and celebrate the pride they have in the school. We appreciate all of the teachers and students efforts!
Secondary students (6th-10th graders) on our Fox Tech campus are completing the 1st semester this week. Teacher are giving exams or have designed projects or writing assignments to conclude the semester. For instance, students in Public Art Walks & Talks, a 1st semester elective class, will be leading walking tours of nearby public art for the community as their “semester exam” and final performance assessment. If your schedule allows, the students would love to have community members from our Euclid and Fox Tech campuses join one of the two tours on Monday, January 9th or Wednesday, January 11th! Each tour begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Fox Tech mall area and will last approximating 1 ½ hours. Please arrive a few minutes early to check-in at the front office and get a visitor's badge. Since you will be walking around the downtown area, we also recommend comfortable walking shoes!
As a reminder, Friday, January 13th and the 16th are students holidays. On Friday, teachers will be participating in professional development and curriculum writing.
Finally, ALA @ Fox Tech (4th-10th grade) will host a Report Card Pick-Up Night on Wednesday, January 18 at 6:00 p.m. Teacher will pass out report cards and share updates. The following evening on Thursday, January 19 at 6:00 p.m., we will hold PTSA meeting for all ALL families (K-10) at our Fox Tech campus.
Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Kathy Bieser
