This communication went out to Founders Bastrop families. It was approved by Mr. Terry and Lynn Tompkins. 

Dear Founders Bastrop Families-

My name is Melanie Sharpless and I am the Regional Director for Founders Classical Academy of Bastrop. First, let me say thank you for your patience as we have experienced a setback with the new school site.  The team at Responsive Ed has asserted that all necessary requirements have been met, however, there is some confusion with the county, and we are working hard to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, because of these delays, we will not begin school at the new property. However, we have secured a supplemental site and will be opening on August 16 as planned.  We will house the school at two different locations.  Grades K-4 will attend school at The Pentecostals of Bastrop Church at 261 FM 20, while grades 5-10 will remain at our current location of Bastrop First. We will stagger the start and end of the school day for those families who will have children at both locations.

This is a temporary situation, and we hope that we will be able to move into our new buildings in the next few months. You are welcome to email me at msharpless@responsiveedtx.com and I will answer any questions you may have as best I can. Thank you so much and have a nice day.

261 FM 20
