I am happy to welcome you to the 2019-2020 school year at ASD! Looking back on my previous years here, I am so excited and grateful for a fesh start this September. This year will be full of challenges, growth, and, of course, fun! Get ready to hit the ground running. This month, students can look forward to learning new classroom practices, including using their own Chromebooks and Pearson Realize, as well as new ideas, facts, and experiences. Please check back in later this month to hear all we learned about in ELA and religion, as well as to hear directly from our students on what they took away from all this month's work!

Please see below some helpful documents to help get your year started off right!

Here is week 1 in review by our journalist, Sarina G.:
I love the Academy of St. Dorothy so far. I made a bunch of friends and I love all the teachers. Mrs. Pintus has taught me so much about science that I didn’t even know and I am really excited about the project we are doing. Mrs. Callagari is an amazing math teacher and has taught me some really awesome math tricks. Mrs. Lake is super funny and she took my not-so-favorite-subject and turned it into one of my favorite subjects. Ms. Cooper, I love Ms. Cooper sooo much, it was my first year of middle school and I had never had a homeroom teacher before. I am so grateful that God gave me Ms. Cooper. Ms. Cooper is a religion and ELA teacher too. I never understood religion but now I understand it fully. Gym is really fun and exciting. The only reason I like Mondays just a little because we get to have GYM!!!
