If you ask your child what makes him or her successful at our school, he or she will probably tell you about our excellent teachers. What students take away from a successful education usually centers around a strong connection with teachers who inspire them to achieve their dreams.
This year, La Paloma is proud to begin using Beyond Textbooks. As Common Core standards are further implemented across the state, we are rising to meet the challenge. We want to help our students succeed by introducing this innovative program.

I don’t know about you, but I am already a little tired of seeing and hearing the back-to-school hype on TV and the radio. It’s true that school resumes at La Paloma Academy on Thursday, July 31st, so it is time to start getting geared up for your children to resume their educations.
It’s my belief that a key to preparations for starting a new school year should be getting your children organized prior to the start of school. I know that the teachers and staff at La Paloma Academy are in the midst of getting organized, as well for the start of the new school year.
We are always looking for ways in which to improve academic achievement, especially in the areas of reading and mathematics. According to recent research, programs that were designed to enhance social and emotional support among children also improved academic performance.
The start of summer vacation means a chance for families to deviate from their routine of getting up at the same time each morning. But, is that the right thing to do?
Attention, anyone interested in signing up for our LPA tackle football team (we are the defending state champs)! The cost is $125. You must have a valid physical and must be in grades 6-8. Mini-camp starts June 16th. Anyone interested can call Coach Jim Lawwill at 245-2545.
Parents, school is almost out. What will your children do all day? Research has shown that if students don’t have academic stimulation over the summer, they return to school one month academically behind.
Parents, we need your opinions to help us to continue to improve our campus.
