Leading Edge Academy Families,
Welcome back to the 2023-2024 school year! Our theme this year is Knights Unite, which is all about cultivating togetherness and belonging.
We are thrilled to have you as part of our close-knit community, dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and supported. Together, we will encourage cooperation, kindness, and understanding, celebrating each student's uniqueness.
Our dedicated team of educators is looking forward to nurturing both academic and social growth throughout the year. Your involvement is crucial. Every Friday afternoon you will receive a weekly update. Please take the time to read updates as they will contain important information and celebrations.
We look forward to seeing all students bright and early on August 9th, 2023!
Sincerely,
Dr. Vasa Lokteff

Sports start within the first two weeks of school, so please talk to your students about joining our program.
