Dear SI Rise Academy Families,

I hope this message finds you well. As we prepare to open our doors for the 2025–2026 school year, I want to extend a warm and enthusiastic welcome and heartfelt greeting to those who are joining the SI Rise Academy community.

We are excited to begin a year of learning, growth, and partnership. At SI Rise Academy, we believe that education is a collaborative journey, and our commitment to academic excellence, social-emotional learning, and community engagement remain at the heart of everything we do. This fall, we look forward to continuing to build a vibrant, inclusive environment where every student can thrive.

At SI Rise Academy, R.I.S.E. is more than just a name, it’s a daily standard we live by. Our core values of:

• Resilience – Bouncing back from challenges and growing stronger through adversity
• Independence – Taking ownership of learning and personal responsibility
• Self-Advocacy – Using our voices, asking questions, and taking initiative
• Empowerment – Gaining the skills and confidence to lead and succeed

These values shape every part of our school culture, guiding how we learn, interact, and grow—both in and out of the classroom.

Our dedicated faculty and staff have been hard at work preparing our classrooms and curriculum to ensure a strong start to the school year. From innovative academic programming to expanded enrichment opportunities, we are eager to offer your children experiences that challenge and inspire them.

As always, communication between home and school is a top priority. In the coming weeks, you will receive updates regarding schedules, important dates, and back-to-school events. Please be sure to check our website and school communications regularly for the latest information.

Our first day of school is Thursday, September 4, 2025, and we can’t wait to welcome our new families. Your continued support, involvement, and partnership make all the difference in the success of our school community, and we are deeply grateful.

Let’s make this year one of growth, achievement, and joy—for every student, every day. Together, we R.I.S.E!

With anticipation and appreciation,

Warm regards,

Dr. Denise D’Anna
Principal, I.A.
