Our 3rd grade scholars are setting the attendance bar HIGH! Last week, they achieved the highest ADA (Average Daily Attendance) in the school at an amazing 99.09%! 🙌🏽

That means we had almost 100% of our 3rd grade scholars present and ready to learn!

To celebrate their outstanding achievement, our scholars were treated to a cool treat from Principal Manns today!

Way to show up, 3rd Grade! We are so proud of you! Now the question is… what grade level will be recognized next week?

Keep showing up, scholars! Every day counts!

What an incredible Tiger Family Partnership Day!

We loved welcoming families to connect, learn, and grow alongside us. Together, we explored our new vision, celebrated the launch of our new PTA, and learned more about the amazing opportunities available through our Johnson YMCA branch.

Thank you to every family who showed up, shared their voice, and invested in our school community. When families and schools partner together, great things happen!

Here’s to building stronger connections and an even brighter future—together!

The first day of school at YMCA Tiger Academy was filled with excitement, smiles, and plenty of happy reunions!

Our students were thrilled to return and see the exciting updates made to our school—including fresh new flooring, a vibrant new paint job, and updated signage that gives our campus a renewed sense of pride.

We’re building more than a beautiful school—we’re building an environment where students can learn, grow, and excel every day.

Excellence Under Construction!

Here’s to a fantastic school year, Tigers! Let’s make it our best one yet!
