Mental health is a part of life — for ALL of us.

The uncertainty and stress of COVID-19 will affect you and your loved ones in different ways and at different times. Some days will be better than others. And each of us can be the reason someone has a better day. Keep connecting. Keep caring.

CONGRATULATION TO PENNY TINSLEY

Penny Tinsley is known at New Academy Charter School for her calming influence and her ability to make any situation better. In her almost 30 years with The Academy Schools, Penny has been responsible for managing Family Counseling, coordinating student transportation, and most importantly, facilitating new student recruitment.
Ms. Penny, as she is affectionately referred to by our students, has influenced and improved the lives of thousands of students throughout her career.
We celebrate Penny as her full-time service is coming to an end but we are very thankful that she has agreed to remain with New Academy Charter School on a part-time basis to continue her work assisting newly enrolled students and their families.
Thank you Penny for your historic and continued commitment and dedication to our schools and our students.

UNIQUE SOLUTIONS FOR VIRTUAL LEARNING CHALLENGES

New Academy Charter School recently launched a Mobile Virtual Solutions Committee (MVSC). The group was created to directly assist students and families experiencing challenges with our current virtual learning platform. While virtual support is available to all students via phone or zoom communication, this committee sets appointments with those students and families whose questions and concerns require a higher level of assistance. Our teachers visit the students' homes during their scheduled appointment times, maintaining COVID mitigation practices, and provide one-to-one assistance to remove whatever barriers to learning may exist.

We congratulate our teachers for this unique and dedicated approach to ensuring that all students have an equitable opportunity to succeed in the virtual learning environment.

Virtual Summer School Allows Students to Maintain …

August 10, 2020
Virtual Summer School Allows Students to Maintain Academic Progress New Academy Charter School has offered summer school options to students for more than a decade. With the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, our staff and faculty made a commitment to adjust as needed to maintain this valuable opportunity. This summer, we replaced traditional summer school education with a virtual option via Google Classroom. Students in grades 7-12 were able to earn one credit per session in English, Biology, Civics, Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Algebra, US History, Heath and Phys Ed or Earth Science. 88 students took advantage of this exceptional opportunity. In addition to daily instruction and communication maintained by our teachers via email, phone, facetime and zoom, we also provided over 3600 lunches to our families. Look forward to an exciting start to the 2020-2021 school year in a few weeks. If you would like information about enrolling in New Academy Charter Schools, please visit our us on the web or send a PM via Facebook. https://theacademyschools.com/charter-school/
