FAQs

Are the scholars required to wear a uniform? What is the uniform?

All scholars are required to wear a school uniform consisting of navy blue pants, shorts, or skirt and a Momentum Academy polo shirt. Our elementary-age scholars wear a purple polo shirt, while our upper academy scholars wear a white polo shirt. Scholars should wear solid color shoes and may wear sweaters or sweatshirts in solid, school colors.

We require our scholars to wear a uniform to help keep their focus on their academic tasks. Our uniforms unite us as a school community and promote school unity.

Does Momentum Academy provide transportation to and from school?

Momentum Academy does not currently provide transportation for our scholars.

Transportation assistance may be available, on an as-needed basis, for our families who are experiencing homelessness, or personal crisis. Families may contact us to see if they qualify for transportation assistance.

I can’t find solid black shoes. Can my scholar wear shoes that are not solid black?

We prefer for scholars to wear solid black shoes with black socks because it is the most uniform look and helps avoid distractions during the school day. However, if you are unable to acquire a solid black pair, please contact the Dean of Scholars at your scholar’s school. The Dean of Scholars will make the final determination on acceptable shoes.

Why does Momentum Academy have a shortened school day on Fridays?

We have a shortened schedule on Fridays to accommodate weekly teacher and staff professional development. Our staff members receive additional training and development each week and are also given the opportunity to collaborate with their colleagues during that time.

Are Momentum scholars provided with technology to use at school?

Yes! All Momentum scholars are provided with a school Chromebook which they use during class to participate in blended-learning and supplemental reading and math programs.
Our upper academy (middle school age) scholars also use their school Chromebooks for academic research and to complete their homework assignments.

What athletics teams are offered at Momentum Academy?

Momentum Academy offers a variety of athletic opportunities for our scholars including:

  • 3rd/4th grade basketball (co-ed)
