Welcome to Elise Ford Allen Academy! Our school mission is to “ensure that each student develops to his or her academic, artistic, and personal potential by integrating the arts and technology within a safe, nurturing environment, which embraces diversity in partnership with families and communities.” To accomplish this mission, students, parents, and staff must work together to ensure our unified success. 

We want your child to be educationally focused and productive!  You are an important part of this team unifying home, school, and community working together to assure each student reaches his/her highest potential.  Our hope is that each student feels a sense of belonging in a safe, loving environment where they can explore their creativity and decision-making skills in fun and academically rewarding ways.

To uphold this vision, the following “Rider Ways” will help our unified team guarantee every child’s success: 

• Support the school.

  • “Raise the Rigor” this school year!  Academic and social growth of our students and entire Allen Academy family will be our result!!

  • Maintain a positive attitude about your child’s education, school, teachers, and district.

  • Assist in providing the best educational experience for your child (supporting homework and reading logs, school and classroom expectations, getting involved, etc.)

• Insist upon regular attendance and punctuality.

  • See that your child attends school every day and on time.  Remember school starts at 7:30 a.m. this year!!

• Get to know your child’s teachers.

  • Know and work with your child's teachers. Ongoing communication is important to every child’s success.

• Read and discuss this handbook with your child.

  • Maintain a better understanding of our expectations, operations, and events for Elise Ford Allen Academy.

I know this will be another remarkable year.  Together, we will continue to achieve maximum growth for every child at Elise Ford Allen Academy (K-8). If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call 672-6574.
