Good Evening Innovations Families,

There will be no school tomorrow, Monday, Jan 18, in honor of MLK, Jr on his birthday.

Upcoming holidays are Presidents’ Birthdays, Friday, February 12 and Monday, February 15

The Thursday night Food Trucks are cancelled until Spring.

Attendance
Our first 30 minutes of the day set students up for success. Morning meetings have a greeting, a share, a team building activity and a morning message for students. We have noticed that being late has a notable impact on students. Please have your children to school at 8:45 a.m. as classes start promptly at 9:00 a.m

Donations Needed
