Blue  Academy Families and Friends –

Welcome to the Blue Academy! My name is Pat Lumbley and I am proud to lead this amazing school! I am excited to work with your children and your family, as we share their educational journey with them.

Blue Academy is a special place to learn, grow, and work. We embrace the diversity of our student body and lean on the various experiences and expertise of our amazing staff to maximize every day of learning and growing at Blue.  We are a school of learners, as all of us- from students, to teachers, to administration are always working to improve and be the best versions of ourselves.

While we strive for excellence and growth in the classroom, we also hope to instill important character traits in all of our students. We want to see them develop a strong work ethic so they are able to overcome the many challenges life throws at them. We want them to be able to work with classmates and peers, as working with a team is as important as being able to work alone. Finally, we want them to be able to follow directions from staff or special guests as this will allow them to succeed when they are clear on what they are doing.

Blue Academy implements Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports into our program.  Students and Staff at Blue know this as our HAWKS Act Expectations and doing things “The Hawk Way” 

Hawks Act:

Honest

Accountable

with Respect

Kind

Safe

Educating students is a partnership between the school and home.  In order to make this successful, we need effective communication.  In addition to communication with classroom teachers, we will send a school newsletter out biweekly through Parent Square.  We will also have updates on our various social media outlets.  I encourage you to make sure that you are utilizing Parent Square to communicate and open the lines of communication with your student’s teacher(s).  In these times, we need a great team working with our students, when the team at school is on the same page with the team at home, incredible things are possible!

 

Thank you for being a part of Blue Academy, we look forward to working with you and your students!

 

Believe in Blue.
