School Update

Dear Families,

I just wanted to update you on the coming school year and give you a few updates. First of all I am very excited to meet all of you at our open house on August 30th from 3 to 6 p.m. Our new location is at 6154 Mission Gorge, just off the 8 freeway. Remember that school starts on Sept 1.

I am attaching a school supply list to this along with a wish list of classroom supplies. Also if you don’t mind please put these supplies in a box for easy storage. If you need to contact me for any reason please feel free to contact me at my email bill@innovationsacademy.org. I am also planning an informal get together/ potluck at the OB pier on September 11, from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m.

The following is a list of supplies each student must bring to class:

An appropriate leveled book of interest for independent reading time
