Following the Prepared Mind Pillar seventh grade students in Ms. Rabb's class exercised their knowledge by dissecting owl pellets. Here's a sneak peak into the classroom and how we make science fun at Athlos Academy!
Greetings, Parents of Future Athlos Academy Scholars,
I am Ms. Tinya L. Landry, the Assistant Principal of Kindergarten through grade three here at Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish. I am overjoyed to be writing this letter to let you know some of the exciting things that we have going at our school!
Good school attendance often starts with smaller steps, such as arriving and leaving on time. At Athlos Academy, some of the most important learning opportunities for students occur in the morning where they often participate in class huddles, morning announcements, and develop relationships with their peers.
Parents– Your student has a few summer reading assignments, which include reading two books from the provided list, writing short book summaries, (grades 3–7) and completing a project. Open for more details.
Monday, March 25th is student-led conferences, which gives students the opportunity to reflect on their learning and show off their successes and areas of improvements.
In the Athlos academics curriculum, when it comes to reading, writing, and math, it’s more than what students learn, but how they learn, comprehend, and apply their newfound knowledge to real-world problems.
At Athlos Academy, student-led conferences take the place of traditional parent-teacher conferences. These conferences help students take ownership of their learning as they honestly reflect on their progress, discuss their successes and challenges, and set goals for the future.
At Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish, we find it essential that classrooms are active and student-centered. Physical activity enhances the ability to learn, and students who are engaged are more excited to learn and more willing to take ownership of their learning.
