New Program Launch – Informational Meeting Tuesday, September 30th at 3:45 PM Campus Location – Open to Students K-8 and Parents.

Why Greek Dance?
Greek folk dancing provides far more than entertainment. This time-honored art form develops crucial coordination skills as dancers master intricate footwork patterns passed down through generations. Students enhance their physical fitness through dynamic movements that engage core muscles, improve balance, and boost cardiovascular health.
The social benefits prove equally valuable. Young dancers build confidence while learning to move in harmony with their peers, fostering teamwork and cultural appreciation. Each dance tells a story, connecting participants to the rich history of Greek islands, mountain villages, and city centers.
What to Expect
Our program welcomes beginners and experienced dancers alike. Students will explore traditional dances from various Greek regions, learning the cultural significance behind each movement. From the spirited Kalamatianos to the elegant Tsamiko, participants discover how geography and history shaped these enduring art forms.
Professional instruction ensures proper technique while maintaining the joy and celebration inherent in Greek dance tradition. Students develop rhythm, spatial awareness, and cultural literacy through engaging, age-appropriate lessons.

Join Our Cultural Journey
This exciting addition to our campus programming reflects our commitment to diverse, enriching experiences for students grades K-8. Parents and children are encouraged to attend Tuesday’s informational session to learn about class schedules, performance opportunities, and enrollment details.
The Greek dance program promises to be an extraordinary addition to our community. Come discover how this beautiful art form can enhance your child’s physical development, cultural understanding, and social connections.
Don’t miss our informational meeting – Tuesday, September 30th, 3:45 PM on campus.

2025-09-18 08:00 - 17:00 | St. Petersburg, 6725 38th Ave N., St. Petersburg, FL, 33710, United States
To ensure all parents can attend, we are splitting Curriculum Night into two evenings:

Time: 6:00–7:00 p.m.
Elementary School (Grades K–5)
Date: Thursday, September 18
Time: 6:00–7:00 p.m.

Why Attend Curriculum Night?
As parents, we’ve all asked our children, “How was school today?” or “What did you learn?”—only to hear the classic response: “Nothing.”
Curriculum Night is your chance to get real answers.
Unlike Open House, this is not a drop-in event. Presentations begin promptly at 6:00 p.m.
Please note: Curriculum Night is for parents only.

What You’ll Learn
You’ll get a firsthand look at:

Classroom tools and resources
Academic and behavior expectations
Assessment methods and goal tracking
Online programs, books, and instructional content
Grading policies and school–home communication
Homework guidelines
Sign-up sheets for formal 1-on-1 conferences

Why It Matters
The time you invest now to understand your child’s learning will pay dividends later.
Curriculum Night strengthens the home–school partnership—and your attendance counts toward volunteer hours.

2025-09-10 17:00 - 18:30 | Trinity, 8810 Old County Road 54, New Port Richey, FL, 34653, United States
Dear Plato Academy Families,
We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Curriculum Night on Wednesday, September 10th, from 5:00–6:30 PM.
Elementary Students
The evening will be divided into three 30-minute sessions. Families are welcome to attend the time that works best for their schedule—there’s no need to attend more than one. Your child’s classroom teacher will also send out specific information about their session in the coming days.
Middle School Students

During Middle School Curriculum Night, parents will have the opportunity to follow their child’s daily schedule and visit each of their teachers.
Your class schedule will begin at 5:00 PM and you will visit each of your child’s class periods for 10 minutes. In order to visit each of their 7 seven classes, middle school parents are asked to participate from 5:00-6:30 PM.
In each class, teachers will share curriculum highlights, expectations, and ways to support learning at home. This format allows families to experience a snapshot of their student’s school day and connect with every teacher directly.
The purpose of Curriculum Night is to provide families with a deeper understanding of the grade-level curriculum, classroom expectations, and the learning goals that will guide instruction throughout the year. Teachers will share the strategies and resources they will be using, as well as ways you can partner with us at home to strengthen your child’s academic growth.
At Plato Academy, we believe that a strong home–school connection is key to student success. Curriculum Night is designed to open the door for ongoing communication and collaboration, ensuring that together we can provide the support, encouragement, and consistency students need to thrive.
We look forward to welcoming you on September 10th and beginning a year of partnership and achievement!
