Dear Parents,
Education is a partnership that crosses generational lines, and we want to celebrate together the rich heritage that has shaped our state, our homes and our families. We look to the past to inform and teach us, and we set our eyes on the future as we participate in the education of your children, partnering with you to raise up our country's next generation of leaders who are equipped and committed to serve God and others.
On Friday, November 17, we will once again have our Thanksgiving Celebration at Highlands Ranch Mansion. This was such a rich and meaningful event two years ago, so we'd like to invite Grandparents and special guests to attend to see your children showcase Colorado history, demonstrate some of the things they've been learning this year, and share our vision for Arma Dei Academy in the days and years to come.
As ever--
Educating to glorify God.
Stephen R. Taylor
Head of School

Logic School Communication
|
As students grow older, it's increasingly difficult to keep on top of what is happening in the classroom. With several teachers, and no one teacher carrying the majority of subjects, there's a lot to keep up with--projects, tests, upcoming events, etc., multiplied by the number of teachers your child has throughout the day!
Logic parents will receive a weekly email that has "Announcements" from each of your child's main teachers. If you are not receiving this weekly email, please contact
Megan Billinger.
Grammar students receive a weekly newsletter from their Teacher of Record.
