Dear Advanced Learning Academy Families

A few weeks ago, the ALA faculty at Fox Tech and Euclid gathered to select the 2017 ALA Teacher of the Year.  It is my pleasure to announce, in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week (May 1-5) and National Teacher Day (May 3), Angel Curry as our Euclid campus and Lisa Murphy as our Fox Tech campus Teachers of the Year. To celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week, I invited you to send words of congratulations and thanks to Angel, Lisa, or any other teacher you would like to acknowledge, ALA or beyond. More details about how to send a note and other ways to recognize teachers can be found on this Teacher Appreciation Week flyer.

The STAAR United States History end-of-course exam will be given tomorrow, Monday, May 1.   All of our 8th, 9th and 10th grade students will take the United States History test. The STAAR Algebra I end-of-course exam will be given on Wednesday, May 3. Only those 8th graders and freshmen currently enrolled in Algebra I will take the exam.

Testing regulations require us to collect all electronic devices (cell phones and other personal media devices) from students prior to testing. Students will not be able to use those during or after they finish testing while in their testing room.  However, they do have access to a landline in the ALA office. Please help by making sure your son or daughter gets a good night’s sleep and eats breakfast, so all are ready to put forth best efforts each morning!

On Friday, we will end the week with a community coffee at our Fox Tech campus at 9 am. Friday evening, we will host the 1st Annual Father-Daughter Dance for 4th - 12th grade girls and their family members.  The dance is FREE, and dance lessons will be provided.  Click HERE to RSVP and receive more information.

Have a wonderful week!

Sincerely,
Kathy Bieser
