Message from the Principal
Hello Sanger Academy Parents,
The staff and I are looking forward to another wonderful year for you and your family.
Our number 1 goal is topping our 2008-2009 Academic Performance Index (API) and Adequate Yearly Progress(AYP) scores.
Our first district progress assessments indicate that your children are on the path towards our API goal of 900 and our AYP goal of 80% of all 2nd -8th grade students scoring advanced or proficient in Math and English-Language Arts.
We are also looking forward to continued success in athletics and co-curricular activities. Our Fall student athletes have already served notice that they will be championship contenders in Football, Volleyball and Cross Country. Our Cheer and Spirit team kicked off our year by leading Sanger Academy to a Spirit Award at the Elementary Sports Carnival.
The Sanger Academy Marching Band will begin their competitions in the month of October and we look forward to seeing our student musicians represent Sanger Academy with enthusiasm and pride.
Our talent show is less than a month away and I see students rehearsing and preparing to showcase their talents.
6th, 7th, and 8th grade Students are starting to prepare for the rigor of our Science Fair which is the prelude to our competitions at the District, Regional and State Level.
The Sanger Academy Bears are off to a great start!

Parent Involvement
Why parent volenteers do what we do!
Why is Parent Involvement in their child's education so important? Besides all the research that proves students do better in school, are more apt to graduate high school and attend college, it's also common sense. See what other parents have to say about being a part of the educational process.
