Our Commitments When we build community, we create safe and caring environments for scholars to feel free to explore. Everything we do goes back to building a community for our scholars to get the best education possible, addressing all their goals and needs. This is a shared commitment between the school staff, scholars, and parents who share responsibility for promoting high student achievement, character and academic growth. Our Families Families choose Momentum Academy because they know we are just as committed to the family as we are individual scholars. We know learning doesn’t end within our walls, so we encourage parents and guardians to be a part of our excellent educational experience through meaningful engagement and participation. Our Current Families Our Students At Momentum Academy, we have the commitment to provide a high‐quality education to any scholar who comes through the lottery. This is especially true for scholars who are eligible for Special Education, McKinney Vento or Foster Care Services. We are acutely aware of the alternatives that the scholar will likely get elsewhere. In rare cases (approximately 1% of the time), we may want to partner with parents to ensure a student with challenges is in the best possible setting. Making the decision to consider an alternative placement for a scholar requires a specific process.
