Welcome to the 2026-2027 KEYS Academy-Augusta school year!
I hope everyone has had an enjoyable and safe summer and is ready to get the school year underway! As we jump into this new school year, we strive to build on the successes from last year, while fine tuning our routines and expectations to support each student’s BIG LIFE goal and understanding the concepts of Safety, Dignity and Opportunity.
The first day of school will be Wednesday, August 12, 2026. Our school day starts at 8:15 a.m. and will end at 2:30 p.m.
This year we will continue with the Book Bus every month, Halloween games and activities, a delicious Thanksgiving meal for all, and a fun-filled December with Spirit Week, homemade gifts for families and drivers and other holiday festivities.
We have some great changes for our staff this year: Ms. Olivia Modlin will be our middle school teacher, Ms. Misty Campbell will be our elementary school teacher, and Ms. Maria Powell and Ms. Rolanda Wright will be our Paraprofessionals!
As we embark on another school year, we ask that you continue to monitor your child for any cold, flu or Norovirus symptoms. If your child is displaying any symptoms, including a fever, please do not send them to school and notify us. Please help us keep our school and families safe.
As we begin the new school year, we will continue to commit ourselves to the understanding that student learning is our top priority. Thank you in advance for all the support that you demonstrate for your students and the entire KEYS Academy-Augusta staff.
Sincerely,
Steve Sviatko
Director, KEYS Academy-Augusta
