Parents
At Urban Academy, every student matters, every family matters and that begins with you! The most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents.

Room parents
Becoming a Room Parent is an amazing and fun way to get involved in your child’s school activities. You will be the liaison between the classroom families and the teacher and school. Below is a brief description of the Room Parent expectations/duties.
Room Parents have the opportunity to share their time and talents with the school and the reward is in the experience as a volunteer and in the memories you will make with the students and families.
PTO Events
Urban Academy inspires children to develop an investigative spirit and build academic and social confidence. Small class sizes and collaborative learning teams enable our faculty to know each child’s strengths and weakness to offer the right balance of challenge and support. Our professionally trained faculty employ experiential learning activities to cultivate curiosity and a natural love of learning.
Pridebook
The Pridebook is the Urban Academy’s Student Code of Conduct and contains crucial general information about the school and our expectations for partnership with families and students. Our philosophy on discipline is to remind scholars that their bad choices don’t make them bad people, but do have consequences, which are based on our high expectations and mandate to foster a healthy and distraction-free learning environment.
