For the 2015-16 CCA School Year, CCA will be hosting two Back-to-School nights, one for grades K-4; the other for grades 5-8.
For grades K-4, Back-to-School night will take place on
Tuesday, August 4th from 6-8 pm in each individual teacher's classroom. Parents can meet their new teachers and also learn the general expectations of each class and grade. Class lists will be posted starting at 5 pm on that same day. This K-4 Back-to School night will be broken into two identical one-hour sessions in order to give parents with more than one K-4 student the opportunity to meet multiple teachers.
For grades 5-8, Back-to-School night will take place on
Wednesday, August 12 from 6-9 pm starting in each student's homeroom. Parents will follow their student's middle school schedule and will move from class to class just as in a typical day. This Back-to-School night will also be broken into two 75-minute sessions such that parents with more than one middle school student may also have the opportunity to meet all teachers.
Please contact
Charmaine Nicolau with any questions.

NEW FAMILY MENTORS NEEDED
|
The CCA PTO is starting a program to welcome, educate and initiate new families into our CCA community. We are looking for families that are willing to mentor new families throughout their first year, and possibly longer. Your role would be to answer questions that you know, and point new CCA parents in the right direction if you don't know.
The CCA PTO and Leadership Team will provide you with "basic training" to clarify many questions that may be answered. What a great way to build a stronger school community and who knows, you might learn something too!
If interested in becoming a New Family Mentor, please email Megan Rudden.

Thank you to those who filled out the
2015 Climate Survey and attended the
Town Hall Meeting on May 12th to hear about the results.
For those interested, the full Executive Summary and listing of the comments are available for review at the front desk. The data has been provided to the Senate Board, Administration and other groups to review for applicable action steps. Please contact
Katja Harguth, SAC lead or
Andrea Evashevski, SAC member and Board Communications chair with any questions.

SUMMER READING
|
All 2015-2016 CCA students, with the exclusion of kindergarten, will have required summer reading. Find the titles that teachers want your child to read by going to the home page of the Cherry Creek Academy website
www.cherrycreekacademy.org.
For example, if your student will be in first grade during the upcoming school year, then they need to complete the required reading in the first-grade section of the list. Also check out the recommended book section for extra good reads to keep your family occupied over the summer.
Unbelievable!
This year
CCA's students read 34,054 books for a grand total of 424,230,290 words. That means that on average each
CCA student read an average of 59 books since the beginning of the school year.
|
 A hearty round of applause goes out to all my volunteers
 that made the Mind Highway reading competition so successful. You were all so much funa and so appreciated! Here are a few more pictures captured during the finale. Everyone was able to participate in pajama day and the victors received hats and mustaches.

MEDICATION PICK-UP
|
The end of the school year is quickly approaching. This is a reminder for parents who have children with prescription medication (Albuterol, Epi-pens, etc.) kept in the nurse's office. The medication must be picked up on the last day of school (June 5th) .
Also, if your child has over-the-counter medications (Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, eye drops, etc.) kept in the nurse's office, it will be discarded or donated to the school if not picked up.
Thank you -
Nurse Jayne

 The Lost and Found area is, once again, very full. Please check the area if your student is missing any items. All items left after June 5th will be donated to charity.
