Welcome to Sharp Park Academy

Sharp Park Academy welcomes you! This Y5 – 5th grade building offers two classrooms at each grade level, along with safe and secure entryways. They follow the district curriculum, including Michigan Standards. Sharp Park Academy follows the mission “to develop caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through inner-cultural understanding and respect.” Students are encouraged to inquire; they are taught to “ask a good question every day”. The questions are called “I wonder questions” and go along with the unit of study, with the goal being that all questions are answered by the unit’s conclusion. Through the use of “I wonder” questions and inquiry model students develop a deep understanding of ideas and concepts that are meaningful and relevant to them, apply new learning and communicate the significance to others.

Welcome Letter from Ms. Jasper Lusby, Principal

Welcome to Sharp Park Academy! My name is Jasper Lusby and I would like to welcome you to Sharp Park Academy for the 26-27 school year!  As the principal of our school, I am proud of our amazing teachers and support staff who go above and beyond each day to ensure all of our students have every opportunity to achieve academic and social success. This school year is my 11th year welcoming kindergarten and young Fives to Sharp Park. After taking some time off during the 25-26 school year, I am excited to be back doing what I love: good work with good people for good people! 

Sharp Park Academy is proud to offer a unique learning experience for students that blends Common Core standards-based instruction with hands-on integrated learning experiences that together foster academic excellence, workforce readiness, and lifelong learners. Our building offers young fives through  5th grade with two classrooms at each grade level, along with special classes that include art, music, PE, and Technology. We provide rich and robust learning experiences that are hands on, minds on and engaging while also teaching and promoting social skills associated with our Viking learner profile including respect, kindness, growth mindset, and perseverance. Social skills and social-emotional learning are critical elements of a well rounded education that prepare students to self-advocate, problem solve, and interact successfully with others in a diverse world. 

Sharp Park Academy has a very active PTO group, and there are many opportunities for parent involvement and volunteer options ranging from one day, to weekly, monthly and seasonally and in many formats from working with other adult volunteers in the building to working with students and assisting with activities.  Sharp Park Academy offers varied extracurricular opportunities and clubs during the school day and after school that are supported by parent volunteers. We highly encourage families to get involved! 

The Sharp Park Academy Elementary experience is designed to prepare students to be future leaders in our school, local community and beyond. Thank you for choosing Sharp Park Academy; we look forward to an amazing year together!
