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 will be 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

  • This March, our Student Council is encouraging all Enlightium students to participate in a special service project focused on spreading the gospel.

  • Students can handwrite scriptures on cards and share them throughout their communities—by handing them out, placing them on windshields, or giving them to others at places like the library or grocery store.

  • This project will run for the entire month of March.

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

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

  • We hope your spring semester is off to a strong and steady start as we move into March. Students are entering an important stretch of the school year. This is a great time to stay focused, keep routines strong, and continue making steady academic progress. Whether students are catching up, working toward improvement, or staying on track, consistent effort now helps build confidence and success for the months ahead.

  • 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!
