Welcome Back, Lion Families!
Dear Lion Families,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! I hope you and your family have enjoyed a wonderful summer filled with rest, fun, and special memories. We are thrilled to welcome both our returning Lion families and those joining the Center for Achievement for the very first time. We can't wait to see our students' smiling faces and begin another amazing year of learning, growth, and success together!
🦁 Open House
Monday, August 3, 2026
5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Open House is a wonderful opportunity to:
Meet your child's teacher.
Drop off school supplies.
Set up your ParentPortal and ParentSquare accounts if you haven't already done so.
Learn more about the exciting opportunities available for your family this school year.
Our teachers are looking forward to meeting everyone, so they will be greeting many families throughout the evening. Because of this, individual conferences will not be available during Open House. If you have concerns specific to your child, please feel free to schedule a conference with your teacher after school begins.
