Beginning of the Day Reminder
For the safety of our students, please remember that our before school activities (recess and devotions) do not begin until 8:35 each morning. Because there is no outside recess coverage by Innocademy staff until that time, it is important that students do not arrive before 8:35. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

Student Led Conference Appointment Forms
Your student should have brought home a green form on Friday indicating the conference time for each child in your family. If you did not receive your form, please contact your child’s ELA teacher asap. If, for some reason, the time(s) outlined on your appointment form will not work for your family, please contact a teacher asap so that we can reschedule. Also, this is probably a GREAT time to remind you that if you ever desire a sit down meeting with any of your child’s teachers, we are always willing to schedule that at any point during the school year.
Adventures in Art from Ms. Cynthia - A.K.A. “Ms. Art Rocks!”
We have been exploring the world through some groovy (and very educational) art. The past few months, we have been discovering the regions and eras of these Master Artists: Henry Matisse (French) cut paper and collage. Piet Mondrain (Dutch) line and bold colors Fused within each lesson we cover the elements of art: Space, Line, Texture, Value, Color, Form, and Lines. Additional projects we did to to enhance our learning were cool snowman with texture and our cityscapes with semi-monochromatic hues and layers of line. Lines are everywhere!
iPad Chargers…..Where Oh Where Could They Be? Help Please!
Unfortunately, we are missing at least 6 of 13 chargers. We would love your help if you wouldn’t mind checking at home? The Innocademy chargers have a (probably faded =) sharpie markered number on the plug. Your student may have accidentally brought one home if he/she has ever checked out an iPad to use overnight. These cords are able to charge iPods and iPhones as well. Thanks for your help!
