Topic: Preparing for CSAP

Location: Airport Campus

We are currently inviting parents to pre-enroll their children at STAR Academy, for the 2011-2012 school year. Once your pre-enrollment form is received, a school representative will contact you to discuss enrollment options.

Pre-enrollment is now open to all students residing in the respective school district. STAR Academy can accommodate students entering into kindergarten to 8th grade. It is imperative that parents submit enrollment applications for each student planning to enroll, as early as possible.

STAR Academy  implements a thematic, interactive program that incorporates multiple learning styles. Mornings are dedicated to building solid skills in the core subject areas of reading, writing, math and science.

While the afternoons are reserved for foreign language, music, physical education and a daily 90-minute block of STAR Academy’s Paragon curriculum.

The Paragon curriculum is interdisciplinary, engaging, discovery-based and multi-cultural. The hands-on approach of Paragon addresses the multiple intelligences and individual learning styles. This enhances students’ communication skills, analysis and self-expression.

STAR Academy also offers an emotionally and physically safe learning environment, access to computers and technology, committed and qualified teachers and staff and encourage parental involvement. Teachers will conduct regular goal setting conferences with individual children and their parents, to ensure the student’s success.

At Parents Challenge we want to give parents the power to change the course of their family’s history. We help break the cycle of poverty by giving students the extra help they need for success while training parents to engage as change agents for their children. We believe through structured mentoring and guidance of parents and students, and the help of resources directed at the problem, we can reach new levels of success with our students and their families.

Parents Challenge accomplishes this mission through providing scholarships ,grants and educational tools and resources  to families who qualify by income.

The resources we provide can help in the areas of:

• A Computer in the home
• Uniform reimbursement and purchase
• Transportation  assistance
• Curricula purchase
• Computer programs
• Extracurricular Activities
• Advocacy ………….just to name a few.

Parents please call 719-473-5430 and see if we can help. Every child deserves a chance to reach their highest potential. Remember they are our future!!!

Sincerely,

Mrs.  Lisa
