As the school year came to a close, Connor Academy's 5th graders received a special sneak peek into their future! Students had the opportunity to visit Alpine Academy, meet their upcoming 6th grade teachers, and take a tour of the school.
This exciting visit helped students get familiar with their new surroundings, ask questions, and start building connections before the next school year begins. We are so proud of our 5th graders and can't wait to see all they accomplish as they take this next step in their educational journey.
Alpine Academy is look forward to welcoming you next year!

As part of the 6th grade ELA unit on Summer of the Mariposas, students had the opportunity to watch caterpillars grow, form chrysalises, and emerge as butterflies while reading the novel. The experience helped bring the story’s symbolism to life as students explored how the characters, like the butterflies, transform and grow throughout their journey. The unit concluded with a butterfly release during 6th grade lunch—a memorable celebration of learning and transformation.
We can't believe last Friday was the end of the 2025-2026 school year! The kids were definitely ready for summer... and let's be honest we think everybody was too!
We want to give a HUGE shoutout to Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Wallentine, Mrs. Moretti, and Mrs. Jen. Friday was their last day at the Academy as they move on to the next phase of life. They will all surely be missed, and we are so grateful for the love, care, and dedication they have given to our students and school community over the years!
