*Happy New Year, Innovations Families,
Welcome back from winter break. Classes will commence on Tuesday, January 5th for our students. Please remember that punctuality and consistent attendance are very important to academic success. If your child is going to be absent for any reason any day please contact our front office and complete a short term independent study contract.
A big welcome to our new staff members. If you see them on campus, be sure to say hi and take time to welcome them into our community.
