The best place for you to be on campus before your first scheduled class is one of the common upper school areas (preferably outside) while monitoring appropriate physical distancing practices. 

Please remember that anyone leaving or returning to campus at any time for any reason needs to have parent permission. You can use the link below to sign in and out but parent validation is required. Parents may also use the link below.

SPECIAL UPDATE**Neck gaiters will no longer be permitted to be used as a face covering at school.  You are welcome to use them around town, but on campus we would prefer face coverings. We are sorry to share this news, but it is based on honest feedback from multiple healthcare professionals in the Academy family as well as a recent study done at Duke University. The study found that neck gaiters were actually more detrimental than no face covering at all.**

Happy Birthday

A Message from Mrs. Digel Drake and Ms. Terry:

We are so excited to be offering library services again this year! In order to help students learning from home, and those on campus who do not have time to browse for a book, we have created a website to help all of you.

If you visit https://tinyurl.com/acadreads, you will find all of the new books that have come in since March 2020, as well as a link to our library catalog and a Google form on the very last tab of the website. You can use this form to request library items.

Once you submit your Google form request, we will check out the item to you if it is available, or place a hold on it for you if it is checked out to someone else. We will notify you when your item is available for pickup.

For on campus learners, there is a small bookshelf behind the library counter where you can pick your items up. To return an item, place it in the return slot at the library counter as you normally would.

If you are an At Home learner and cannot come inside the building, let us know, and we will make arrangements to bring the items out to you or to get them from you.

Fall Play Information!

Auditions for this year’s Fall “play” will be held this Wednesday- Friday starting at 3:45 pm in the PH. Each auditionee will sign up for a 12-minute slot.  An audition sign-up sheet will be posted today on the double doors at the end of the Bertlesmann turnaround driveway right under the stairs that lead to my classroom.   Please do not hang out before or after your audition time.  BE SAFE!

The play is a monologue play about the boxes we are put in by society, gender, ourselves. It was written by alumna, Kendall Sherwood.  Kendall currently works as a writer and producer for the TV show “Hawaii 5’O”.

This play is SO timely!  Due to COVID, this year’s production will be like none other. Everyone is welcome to audition.  Home learners, those involved in other activities, everyone.  Since the play will not be performed live… we are moving another direction completely.  If you have ever been interested in being in the fall play… now is your opportunity!  Rehearsals will be limited and will take place during the school day, after school, and over zoom.  The time commitment has never been so little.  Please, do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

If you would like a script e-mailed to you, email me and I will send you one!

Ms. T
