She is replacing Officer John White, who has been promoted in the Bartlett Police Department. He has been the Academy SRO for all four and a half years, and was the SRO at Shadowlawn for a few years before that.
Officer Gafa is no stranger to the Academy. She has provided our female students with important information about internet and social media safety. We are grateful to BPD for allowing her to spend her days here at the Academy with us.

They said the diversity in our school sets us apart and they wanted to feature that, with a message of hope. Mission accomplished!

Parents, please remember to check your child’s attendance on PowerSchool weekly, or after you have sent in a note. We have a very small window of time for making corrections, and we want your child’s attendance record to be 100% accurate. Sometimes notes don’t make it to the Attendance Office for one reason or another.
Emails (to vmoser@bartlettschools.org, jtaylor2@bartlettschools.org, or jmcdonald@bartlettschools.org) are always a good way to send a note or follow-up on a written note. Weekly checks will hopefully prevent situations at the end of the grading period, the semester, or the year, where we have inaccurate information and lack the ability to make changes.
Students, you can also monitor your attendance on PowerSchool and let us know about errors. This is good practice for second semester when you want to remain eligible for exam exemptions at the end of the year.

Parents and students, all car riders must be picked up and dropped off in the back of the school. The south parking lot near the front of the school by the park is for teacher parking only, not for student drop off and pick-up.

Parents,

There have been a number of concerns lately about the length of the Car Rider line. While I can’t tell people when to drop off students in the morning, I can tell you that students can get into the building at 6:05am. The Car Rider line tends to get backed up between 6:30am and 7am. If you want to drop off between 6:05am and 6:30am, you may find that the line is either non-existent or moves more quickly. Students should come directly to the cafeteria where they can work on homework or talk to friends. The breakfast line usually opens about 6:40am. Students are tardy if they arrive to 1st Period after 7am.

Please join me in congratulating Amanda Tutoras this year's Academy Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Tutor teaches Art II and Photography classes at the Academy. Under her leadership, her students do some amazing work.
