IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING WALKERS
|
Please note - if you would like for your elementary student to be classified as a "walker" for afternoon dismissal, you must receive approval from Ms. Campbell before we will release them as walkers. Even if your child was a walker last year, you should contact Ms. Campbell to receive approval for this year. Walkers will be held until 3:30 PM. Please email Ms. Campbell at ccampbell@amanaacademy.org with your request.

If you have not already paid your supply fee, please send it in with your student by Friday. Supply fees are $20 per child and include an agenda and field study t-shirt for grades 3-8, and a field study t-shirt and craft supplies for grades KK-2.

HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT - JOIN OUR ORGANIZING CREW
|
As was mentioned by Mr. Ehab Jaleel, Amana Academy's Executive Director, at last Friday's Open House sessions, we are working on developing a high school charter focused on developing graduates who will be a new generation of innovative, self-directed, multilingual citizen scholars who bring an entrepreneurial approach to a complex 21st century world. Grounded in the principles of stewardship and philanthropy, and accustomed to rigor and collaboration, these graduates will be global and civic-minded ambassadors of knowledge who are equipped with the skills to lead in work and life.
The school's working name is Innovate Fulton Charter High School, and it's mission will be to prepare students to be entrepreneurial, philanthropic innovators by immersing them in an educational environment powered by design thinking, creative collaboration, and professional partnerships.
We are looking for parents to serve on our organizing Crew. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Jaleel at
ejaleel@amanaacademy.org.There will be two information sessions if you want to learn more about this project - August 20th form 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM in the Parent Center; and August 21st from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM in the Parent Center. |
