PRINCIPAL MESSAGE

OPERATIONS CORNER

Dear Parents,

IDEA is a great place for teachers and scholars! One key way we offer our teachers added benefits and rewards is through the Teacher Career Pathway. A big part of how we factor when teachers get to advance on the Teacher Career Pathway is through feedback from parents and scholars. Please take the time to fill out the survey and let us know areas where we’re doing well and where we can improve. We take these results very seriously as a team and family, and your feedback is critical to helping us continue to grow as a campus.

IDEA will be taking Transfer Requests from February 1st to March 1st. If you are interested in transferring your children to another IDEA campus, Please come by our front office to fill out the proper documents. DEADLINE: March 1, 2016

Thank you for helping your child along the road to college!

OUR NEW MATH MASTER:

Sincerely, Tricia Noyola
