Welcome Back!

My name is Francesca Anderson and I am proud to introduce myself as the new Program Administrator of Academy-North. Our dynamic staff has been essential in helping everyone acclimate to the program, one that supports a positive and supportive learning community. Students and staff alike were filled with excitement and as classes resumed on Tuesday, August 23. I was touched by the happy reunions as staff and students greeted one another warmly after the long summer break. I recognized immediately that Academy-North is a special place- one that encourages student growth both behaviorally, by developing goals and teaching students to advocate for their needs, and academically, by delivering curriculum that inspires and challenges students. I am so excited to share that this school year has started off with many positive changes. We have several new staff including Mr. Hebert, who teaches English and Mr. Henning, who teaches Social Studies. In addition, we welcome three new teacher assistants to the building: Ms. Jimenez, Mr. Pickup and Mr. Witte. As I have observed classrooms these first days I have been impressed with the sense community that has been fostered within each classroom. Everyone is invested in a positive, successful school year at Academy-North. Our open house will take place on Thursday, September 15th, from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM, and I hope everyone is able to attend and see with your own eyes the investment that students and staff place on the education offered at Academy-North.
