• Notices of Intent coming home: The month of January marks the start of planning for the new school year.  Each year, the Academy opens enrollment to all students of Durham county and surrounding areas.  However, we first give opportunity for all of our current students to continue their educational journey with us.  With this in mind, Notices of Intent forms will be sent home Tuesday, January 22 with all students.  If your student will continue with us for the 2013-14 school year, then it will be very important that you complete and return this form to your child's teacher to secure your child's space.  Otherwise, we cannot guarantee a seat for your student.  The Notice of Intent form is very important, please complete and return this form as soon as it arrives.  Contact Mrs. Hill in the main office with any questions.
