5th Grade Transition Night

Save the date! Our annual 5th Grade Transition Night is happening Thursday, March 3rd. This event will provide information and guidance about your child's upcoming transition to 6th grade. Families will learn about what makes Amana's culture, academics, and programming unique and special. We will also discuss how to best support your child as they move up from Elementary to Middle School. Please take a moment to complete the short survey linked below to share your preference for in-person vs. virtual. The deadline for responding to our survey is February 14. Invitations and further communication will be coming out next week.

The Uhuru Village Academy is an AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURAL MICROSCHOOL GROUNDED IN POWER AND PEACE AND FUELED BY GENIUS AND JOY. This Saturday morning they will be hosting a face-to-face and virtual experience grounded in African American History, 21st-century skills, and more! Uhuru Village Academy is designed to complement traditional schooling with an in-depth understanding of the African American experience. Students will learn from award-winning educators— through literature, videos, presentations about our African American past and collaborate with their peers to build a bright African American future.
