Congratulations to Foundation Academy for winning an Outstanding Attendance award at the annual leadership summit held this July. Foundation Academy was one of 10 schools across the ACCEL network that achieved an Average Daily Attendance (ADA) of 92% or higher – no small feat in a year where schools nationwide reported high rates of pandemic-related absenteeism.
Recognizing the hard work and success of our schools and school leaders is an important tradition at ACCEL Schools. While schools across the country are still recovering from challenges related to the pandemic, we have seen a surge in success from schools serving historically underrecognized communities.
“We are mission driven to make quality education available to all children regardless of geographic location or life circumstances,” said ACCEL Schools CEO Ron Packard who presented the awards on July 17. “It is an honor to recognize the staff and leadership who are putting ACCEL’s ideals into action and creating positive change in the lives of the students and communities who need it most.”
Congratulations to every member of our Foundation Academy community for contributing to our success in 2023. We are honored to accept this Accely award on behalf of our entire team and look forward to another great school year.

The Local Wellness Policy is a written document that guides a local educational agency’s (LEA) or school district’s efforts to establish a school environment that promotes students’ health, well-being, and ability to learn. The Wellness Policy Committee has been created as an effort to manage and develop our school’s healthy habits.
» A Wellness Committee will be appointed to each school
» The committee may include parents and guardians, students, representatives of the school nutrition program, physical education teachers, or any other interested stakeholder that is aligned with the goals of the policy
» The committee shall meet a minimum of four times per year
This is a great opportunity to help promote and support student health and wellness, and create a positive, safe, and health-promoting learning environment. Please contact mealcounts@accelschools.com for more information.

All after school extracurricular activities are cancelled.

Starting Monday, Sept. 27 all staff and students will have to wear masks. This is a temporary measure to slow the spread of COVID. We will monitor our numbers each month to decide if we continue with masking or not.
Parents please send your child to school wearing a mask. It is recommended that he/she have two. During the month of October where more sicknesses seem to arise, we want to make every effort to keep everyone safe.
