From your North Campus Principal, Ann Taylor

First full week of The Academy 2020-21 school year is in the history books!  A huge thanks to everyone and your assistance in helping us during the protocols of COVID for north campus.  Please continue to take your student(s) temperature each morning prior to coming to school and understanding our restrictions for entering the campus at this point in time.  We have had a good week academically as we get back into the routines of school.  Carline drop off and pick up got the glitches worked out from last week thanks to everyone’s help.

HUGE THANKS TO MR. MCDANIELS!!!

Last January our Dialectic JCL raised money at our annual Spaghetti dinner for 2 new water fountains. Because of the generosity of Mr. McDaniel donating his time for the installation, we were able to purchase 3 water fountains, two for Providence Hall and one for the gym.  Thank you, Mr. McDaniel for all the hours and money spent helping us have these 3 amazing water fountains!! Our whole school is so grateful!

The grammar does not participate in this at all.
