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 9th year as KEYS Academy-Charlottesville! We had a very successful year for our students this past year, graduating four 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.
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, we re-commit ourselves to the understanding that student learning and student well-being are our top priorities. Thank you in advance for all of the support that you demonstrate for your students and our dedicated team of professionals!
Our KEYS Academy-Charlottesville staff look forward to working with your students this school year!
Sincerely,
Carrie Smith, Director
