A Message from the Principal’s Office (The Online Program)

  • Congratulations to students for finishing their first quarter! We appreciate all the hard work that students have invested in their school work.

  • The start of Quarter 2 is a great time for students to reflect on what went well and to set goals for the rest of the semester. Students have had enough time to gain familiarity with the curriculum, and there is also time left in the semester for students to improve grades and make positive changes.

  • We encourage students to reach out to teachers if they ever have any questions or would like support. They are here to help and care about your students!

  • Parents are welcome to reach out to teachers as well, and you can also email the Principal’s Office with any questions. The Principal’s Office email is principal@enlightiumacademy.com  We are here to provide support!
