Check out this week's parent newsletter. We also fixed the date since it's definitely not 2029. Last week was a long week but not that long. :) . https://www.myleadacademy.com/article/141148?org=lead-academy
Two quick Wednesday reminders:
1. Please check your student's backpack daily for paperwork sent home from school that needs to be filled out. This will greatly help us to make sure all students have the required paperwork on file.
2. Whenever a student is absent or late, please use the "Absence Form" link in the new Lead app to submitted a parent excuse or send the doctor's note in to the front office. Using the form in the app sends the note directly to the front office and decreases the chances it is lost or ends up in the wrong place.
Have a great rest of the week!
Mrs. Tittle’s class had a blast participating in Reading Buddy Adoption Day this morning! Each student got to pick a reading buddy of their choice and vowed to read to him/her for at least 10 minutes each day. The kids can’t wait to show their animals their new homes!

The Falcon Ladies volleyball team took home the win against Christ Church and the boys soccer team lost a hard fought game 1-0 in the final seconds to Hampton Park. Both teams played hard and showed perseverance. Great job Falcons!
The Lead Academy Choir did an outstanding job performing the National Anthem at the United Way Rally at the TD Center this morning. Check out the video on our Facebook page!
Just a reminder that students who arrive to school after 7:50 are tardy. Keep in mind that any student with 10 or more tardies is considered truant and may be required to create an attendance intervention plan. Every day students are tardy they are missing valuable crew time and instruction. Thank you to those that get here consistently on time. We realize traffic happens and life happens but please try your hardest to get to school on time each day. If we can assist in any way, please let us know. #wearecrewnotpassengers
Just a reminder that we use Jumprope Mastery Grading for our grading platform rather than Powerschool. We will send home parent logins for jumprope with progress reports next Thursday, 9/19. At that point, you will be able to login anytime you want to see progress. We wanted to make sure people were aware when logins will be sent home since we've had a few inquiries about it. Have a great day!
