Snapshots

  • Snapshots provide students and their parents/guardians insight into all of the offerings available during a month, including:

Spring Assessment

  • Standardized tests are designed to demonstrate to the parents and students whether the student is performing at grade-appropriate and age-appropriate levels.

  • Registration for assessments for grades Prekindergarten through 8th grade was sent via email on March 1 and will remain open until March 31. Families can register their student for the Iowa Complete, register for the IXL, or opt out.


Student Council Encouragement

  • Throughout the month of April, our Student Council, Service Club, and National Honor Society are partnering together for a special service project.

  • Students are encouraged to create blessing bags that can be shared with those in need. These bags can include essentials along with a card featuring the scripture John 3:16. Students can share them with the elderly, individuals experiencing homelessness (with a parent), or even donate them to a children’s hospital.

  • Join us in spreading kindness and hope in our communities April 1-30.

  • We invite students to share photos of their blessing bags on the Parents app so we can celebrate their efforts together!

A Message from the Principal’s Office (The Online Program)

  • As we move into April, we are entering the final stretch of the spring semester. This season is a great reminder of growth, renewal, and perseverance. Students are encouraged to stay focused, keep their routines strong, and continue making steady academic progress as they work toward finishing the year well. Whether students are catching up, strengthening their understanding, or completing courses, consistent effort during these final weeks can make a meaningful difference. We are thankful for the continued partnership with our families as we support and encourage students to finish the semester strong.

  • As always, we encourage students to reach out to their teachers whenever they have questions or need support. You can also reach out to the Principal’s Office at principal@enlightiumacademy.com. We’re here to support you and your student in any way we can!
