As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we want to encourage you to finish strong! This time of year brings a mix of excitement, accomplishment, and sometimes a little extra effort as students wrap up their work.

We love celebrating the students who are finishing early and reaching their goals ahead of schedule. That is such a wonderful achievement! At the same time, we know many families are working diligently to catch up and make steady progress. Please know we are here for you. Our team is praying for your family and ready to support you in any way we can.

We are especially looking forward to connecting with many of you at our Kindergarten, 5th grade, and 8th grade graduations at the end of the month. It will be such a joy to celebrate your students and all they have accomplished this year!

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!

Cheering you on as you finish the year strong!
