NEW INFORMATION

WONDERING HOW YOUR KIDDO IS DOING? CHECK STUDENT SNAPSHOT!

Now that we are a couple of weeks into the school year, it’s a GREAT time to look into those weekly Parent/Guardian Snapshots you are emailed each Monday! These are automatically generated and sent to parents/guardians so that how much time your child has spent on coursework the week before is never a surprise! =). If you’ve forgotten how to read those – – or are ready to dive in, please view the video HERE.

OLD INFORMATION

Re:FUEL & BLENDED MORNING ARRIVAL – MONTH OF AUGUST

We are currently getting new parking lots at Homestead Campus – Yay!! Unfortunately, the East lot (across from Taco Bell) is currently closed until September. 

All Innocademy students are using the West parking lot (McDonald’s side) for morning drop off and afternoon dismissal. We do not want to add to the traffic congestion on that side of the building so PLEASE follow the directions, below:

  1. Use the map, below, for drop-off and dismissal. Please follow the yellow arrows for traffic flow. For both Re:Fuel and Blended, we look forward to seeing your child(ren) right at 9am and they must be picked up by 3pm each day. 
  1. Re:Fuel middle & high school students may park in the lot or be dropped off according to the map, below and proceed into the main entrance of the building at or after 9am. 
  2. For families with students in the blended program, please do not release your child(ren) to play on the playground prior to school beginning as there is no adult supervision. Once you see their teacher outside at 9am, kiddos may meet them and walk into the building, together. If you would like to park your car in the lot and walk your child(ren) to their teacher in the morning, you are welcome to do that! Please say your goodbyes outside of the building and students can walk inside with their teacher.

Re:FUEL & BLENDED 3PM AFTERNOON DISMISSAL- MONTH OF AUGUST

  1. Re:Fuel students who park in the West Parking lot, please leave the lot by 3pm each day following the yellow arrows, on the map, above. 
  2. Re:Fuel students who get picked up at the end of the day and students in the blended program will be walked by staff across the street for dismissal in the cul-de-sac road near Ziggi’s and Taco Bell according to the map, below. Students will be ready to be picked up in that location at 3pm. 
  3. Please stay in your car and pull as far forward as possible. Staff will help guide you and get students to your vehicle. You may then proceed down the road, turn around in the cul-de-sac and head out.
