Still Becoming...
Mark your calendars for our eighth grade graduation.  It's on Tuesday, June 5 at 6:30 pm at the Rocklin Event Center.  It's a wonderful time to celebrate the hard work and success of our students.
I am so thrilled to announce that Placer Academy will have a Vice Principal next year!  Amber Sutton comes to us with several years of teaching experience.  She recently received her administrative credential, and she is excited to bring her knowledge of technology and middle school to our site.  She already spent most of the day on both campuses yesterday meeting with me and with our Upper Academy team.  We have BIG things planned for next year.  Stay tuned for more.
Force and Motion:
Fifth grade got some hands on experience regarding force and motion at iFly! They enjoyed a STEM lesson and then a skydiving simulation.
Human Body Day:
Our first graders had a fun-filled celebration of their human body unit!  They made models of the lungs, labeled major bones in the body, and learned about the digestive system.
Rita's Walking Field Trip:
Fourth grade enjoyed a walking field trip to Rita's for an end of year treat.
Field Day Follies:
Placer Academy’s primary campus enjoyed their annual field day at Kathy Lund Park.
