What's Different About the IMPACT Academy?
Thinking Skills In The Classroom Teachers have been providing students with multiple opportunities to use and practice problem solving and critical thinking skills. This may not be as visible to parents because this is a change in teaching techniques and student response modes. We are hoping with this extra practice at school you will soon see that your child(ren) are asking better questions at home and are more inquisitive when faced with a new situation. Check out each grade level website link to see some specific activities that have been going on in the classrooms and in the Exploration Center. Family Fun Night
2nd Trimester Family Fun Night
Our second semester Family Night was on January 19th. Activities included extensions of Earth Science concepts taught in each grade level. Students and parents alike were able to participate in hands-on explorations. Since learning about the environment is part of the Earth Science focus families also brought bags of recycled plastic bottles or aluminum cans. Family Math Night Photos

Updates and Flyers
New Seatbelt LawPlease be aware there is a new seatbelt law that went into effect on January 1, 2012. Children MUST seat in a car booster seat until they are 8 years old OR 4 feet 9 inches tall (which ever comes first). Part of what makes the IMPACT Academy different is our Family Nights. The first trimester Family Fun Night was held on October 6th. The focus was on our new mathematics materials. Families got a chance to play math games and solve real life math problems. The evening was full of critical thinking and problem solving activities made fun!!!! 2nd Annual Jog-a-thonOur IMPACT Academy is gearing up for our 2nd annual Rock-n-Roll-a-thon to raise funds that will truly make an "IMPACT right here in our school! All students will receive a 2012 Rock-n-Roll-a-thon T-Shirt. Our goal is to raise over $20,000 for technology that will enhance the Math and Science curriculum. Please look for flyers coming home soon that will explain ways you can help support this fundraising effort.
