As you know, our program has a strong academic core with 2 hours of reading instruction, 1 ½ hours of math instruction, 1 hour of social studies, 1 hour of science, and 1 hour of fitness daily! Thank you for partnering with us in your child’s education.
School Reminders
- Our school day begins at 8:00 a.m. Please make sure your student is on time and in uniform so they are not counted tardy.
- Our doors open at 7:35 a.m. and breakfast is served from open until 8:00 a.m.
- In the event that your child will be absent from school, please report the absence to the office at 614-318-0600 by 8:30 a.m.
- If you must change your dismissal procedure, you will need to notify the office in writing by noon.
- Dismissal begins at 4:00 – parents picking their child up at the end of the day will need to stay in their vehicle. We will safely bring your child out to you.

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our longtime Speech and Language Pathologist and dear friend, Kate Penn.
Kate was the kind of person who made everyone feel welcome. Her positive attitude, genuine kindness, and passion for living life to the fullest left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Whether she was supporting students, encouraging colleagues, or sharing the mission of Performance Academies with families in the community, Kate gave her whole heart to everything she did.
We could always count on Kate. Throughout her years with Performance Academies, she touched the lives of countless students, families, and staff members. While the space she leaves behind can never truly be filled, we know our schools and our community are better because we had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
We will deeply miss her larger-than-life personality, her contagious smile, and the incredible hugs that made so many people feel seen, valued, and cared for.
Our hearts are with Kate's family and friends. We are holding them close in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time and extend our deepest love and support.
Kate's legacy lives on through the lives she touched, the students she championed, the colleagues she encouraged, and the countless moments of kindness she shared. She will forever be a part of the Performance Academies family and will be deeply missed.
