Director's Corner
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! I hope everyone had an enjoyable and safe summer break. We are pleased to welcome new and returning families this school year.
It’s hard to believe that August 2023 marks the beginning of our 4th year as KEYS Academy-Caroline! We had a very successful year for our students this past year, graduating five students and transitioning many others back to their public school settings, and we look forward to this continued pattern of growth and success for the 2023-24 school year.
This year, KEYS Academy-Caroline continues to add to our Career and Technical Education career exploration offerings. We strive to build excellent community partnerships, exposing our students to as much career exploration, college-bound preparation, and workplace readiness skill building as possible.
As we embark on another school year, we ask that you continue to monitor your child for any cold, flu, Noravirus or Covid symptoms. If your child is displaying any symptoms, including a fever, please do not send them to school and notify us. Please help us keep our school and your families safe!
For this new school year, let us all re-commit ourselves to the understanding that student learning is our top priority. Thank you in advance for all of the support that you demonstrate for your students and the entire KEYS ACADEMY-Caroline Staff.
I look forward to serving your child at KEYS Academy-Caroline for the 2023-2024 school year.
Sincerely,
Charlene Gray, Director
