📚 Literacy Matters Every Day in Every Way! 📚
This week, Spectrum Academy is celebrating the joy of reading on our campus. Students and staff will spend time each day reconnecting with books - just like they once did when they were kids, when getting lost in a story felt like magic. Each day, we’ll pause to dive into good books and great adventures. When literacy leads the way, every chapter of learning becomes a page‑turner. #ReadWhiteandBlue #LiteracyWeek #RootedInReading #UnstoppableTogether

Eagle Reminder: The Classic Learning Test (CLT) will be offered tomorrow, Saturday, January 24, for juniors and seniors who need to meet math and/or reading testing requirements. Please arrive by 8:30 AM so we can begin testing promptly. If you have questions, feel free to email Mrs. Thurston at thurstm@martinschools.org. Thank you, and see you tomorrow!

⚡️ Empower Hour is back! ⚡️
Spectrum Academy welcomed Dr. Jason Townsley, DC from Merritt Chiropractic to our campus today to share his powerful story with our Eagle community. Through honesty and vulnerability, Dr. Jason showed our students that no matter their circumstances, growth and opportunity are always possible when they are ready to embrace them. He left our Eagles knowing they can live their very best lives. We are grateful to Dr. Jason for spending time with us and empowering our Eagles! 🤍🦅


The Eagles are off to an incredible start in 2026! 🦅 Campus attendance is strong, engagement is high, and positive energy is everywhere.
One standout moment this week was Ms. Duran leading students through a meaningful goal-setting lesson. Students created and shared virtual vision boards highlighting what they want to improve, learn, and achieve in 2026, cheering each other on along the way.
We’re so proud of our Eagles for starting the year focused, motivated, and always ready to grow! ✨🎓





🦅💙 Happy Law Enforcement Appreciation Day! The Spectrum Academy Eagles are giving a big thank you to our amazing SRO, D/S Ouellette! 👮♂️ From keeping our campus safe to supporting our students with kindness and advice, D/S Ouellette always shows up for our Eagles. We’re lucky to have you. Thank you for all you do! 🦅✨


Welcome back! 🦅 We hope you had a refreshing winter break! As we step into a new year, we’re welcoming new possibilities and opportunities to grow. Let’s challenge ourselves to try something new, believe in our abilities, and remember that every step forward, big or small, matters. We can’t wait to see you back on campus today. See you soon, Eagles!
