Who to Contact
Who To Contact?
Use the following chart to know who to contact at school for any of your needs, questions, or support.
At Innovation Academy, we encourage our students to be the first point of contact to their teachers and administrators directly by email or in-person meetings as frequently as needed. We want them to self-advocate, self-monitor, and learn responsibility.
