A Message from the Principal’s Office (The Online Program)
Congratulations to students for finishing their first quarter! We appreciate all the hard work that students have invested in their schoolwork.
The start of Quarter 2 is a great time for students to reflect on what went well and to set goals for the rest of the semester. Students have had enough time to become familiar with the curriculum, and there is still time left in the semester for them to improve their grades and make positive changes.
We encourage students to reach out to teachers if they ever have any questions or would like support. They are here to help and care about your students!
Parents are encouraged to email teachers directly with any questions. You can also email the Principal’s Office with any questions. The Principal’s Office email is principal@enlightiumacademy.com. We are here to provide support!
