📣 UNIQUE ABILITY FAMILIES — STEP UP REMINDER!
There is an important NEW requirement for the 2026–27 school year that could impact your student’s scholarship funding.
If your student’s EMA status shows “Scholarship Choice Confirmed,” you must complete the Public School Attestation in EMA each quarter. This confirms that your student is not enrolled full-time in a public school.
🚨 QUARTER 1 DEADLINES
📅 August 15, 2026 — Complete the attestation to be considered for the August funding payment.
📅 September 15, 2026 — Complete the attestation to be considered for the September funding payment.
⚠️ This is important: Students will not receive funding if the required attestation is not completed by the applicable deadline.
A few other Step Up updates to know:
✅ “Awarded” has been replaced with “Scholarship Choice Confirmed” in EMA.
✅ “Award ID” is now called “Scholarship ID.”
✅ “Scholarship Choice Confirmed” means your student has met the initial eligibility requirements and you have accepted the scholarship. It does not guarantee funding.
💰 Funding is being added to student accounts on a rolling basis and may take up to two weeks. Families should continue monitoring their EMA account for funding and invoices.
📌 Looking ahead: Students must have an Enrolled status in EMA by September 30, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET to be considered for Quarter 2 funding in November.
Please log into EMA and check your student’s status and required actions. With the August 15 deadline only a few days away, we encourage families to take care of the attestation now!
💙 Feel free to share this post with another Unique Ability family so no one misses an important funding deadline.

Today we celebrate the incredible women who give so much of themselves every single day — mothers, grandmothers, caregivers, and all mother-like figures who lead with patience, strength, compassion, and unconditional love. 💐
Our annual Mother’s Day Tea & Art Show was a beautiful reminder of the joy, connection, and love that fills our school community. Watching our students proudly share their creativity and celebrate the special women in their lives made for a truly meaningful day.
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing Arts Team, especially Clarissa Stoke and Crystalin Bates with Soul Sisters Presents, for the care, creativity, and dedication poured into this event all year long. Your work helped create memories that our families will carry with them forever.
To the women who nurture, advocate, encourage, comfort, and love so fiercely — we see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you today and every day. Happy Mother’s Day. ❤️

Teacher Appreciation Week at TPA was truly unforgettable 💛
Our families went above and beyond in the most meaningful ways, giving their time, energy, and hearts. From hours spent over the weekend transforming spaces to the countless details thoughtfully planned throughout the week, the love poured into every moment was undeniable.

Our teachers were celebrated with meals, a beautifully stocked lounge, sweet treats, a coffee barista, stunning flowers, and incredibly generous gifts but more than anything, they felt deeply seen, valued, and appreciated.

To our students and families: thank you for showing up in such a big way. Your generosity and intentionality made this week so special, and it meant more than words can express. We are incredibly grateful to be surrounded by such a supportive and giving community.

And the celebration isn’t over yet...let the fun continue next week at the TPA Gala ✨
