Teacher Feature
Mr. Hargreaves began his career at CCA as a 4 th  grade teacher.  He quickly realized how much he loved CCA and soon transitioned into the role of the Elementary School Assistant Principal. 

Before joining the CCA Eagles, Mr. Hargreaves attended The University of Wyoming where he earned his degree in secondary education. Mr. Hargreaves attended the University of Colorado for his Master's degree in Educational Leadership and now works with their Educational Leaders to conduct research for the University. Four years ago he married his wonderful wife, Nicole. Together they have a beautiful daughter, Abigail.  

When Mr. Hargreaves is not at CCA, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing sports and working around the house. Mr. Hargreaves is excited to see the year winding down and summer on the horizon!  

Go Eagles!
Vicky McGlinchey grew up in the town of Farmingdale, which is located on Long
Island, in New York. Living on Long Island she was always able to hit the beach
within minutes. She has lived in several locations over the last 17 years, mostly on
the east coast following her husband Mike’s career coaching collegiate football.
Colorado is the furthest west she has ever lived. As an adult, Mrs. McGlinchey has
lived in New Hampshire, different parts of Maryland, and North Carolina.

Mrs. McGlinchey currently teaches third grade at CCA. The 2018-2019 school year
will be her 17 th year teaching. She is extremely excited for her transition to
Kindergarten.

When Mrs. McGlinchey is not at CCA she enjoys spending time with her family.
During the fall, much of her time is spent cheering on the Colorado School of Mines
football team. In the spring, she spends her weekends at the baseball field watching
her son Cole play baseball, or at gymnastic meets watching her daughter Ashley
compete.

Finding AR Books Just Got a Little Easier
The BookScanner App makes it easy to find Accelerated Reader books on Apple  iPads and iPhones. Now your trip to the public library for your AR reading materials can be much more efficient.

The app lets you know if a book has an AR quiz. Just scan the ISBN number on the back. You will also get the
  • Reading level (ATOS BL)
  • Number of AR points available for taking a quiz 
  • Quiz number 

It will also keep a history on each scanned book for easy reference, which you can delete at any time.

Happy reading!
READ LIKE AN ANIMAL!!!
     CCA K-6 TH GRADE READING COMPETITION
April 23 rd thru May 17 th
Two teams, the Sly Foxes and the Wise Owls will compete in an all school reading competition to see which can earn the most Accelerated Reader points. Mr. Hargreaves and Dean Loomis will co-captain the parliament of Wise Owls while Mr. Cerny and Mrs. Nowak will co-captain the Skulk of Sly Foxes. (Yes! This is what groups of owls and foxes are called!)

Teams must maintain an 85 percent or higher quiz average to receive full credit for all points that are earned.

Students who do not adequately help their team earn points are ineligible for prizes.
Students may only take tests in their designated reading range.
An entire class may not take a quiz on the same book during the challenge period (except kindergarten).
        Prizes will be awarded for every 750 AR team points earned.

750 Points – Stuffed Animal Day Bring your favorite stuffed animal to school. Giant stuffed animals are not allowed.The award date will be announce.
1,500 Points – Crazy Hair Day Fix your hair to look like an animal or just go crazy with it. The award date will be announced.

3,000 Points – Pajama Day Students may not wear tank tops, spaghetti straps, tight yoga pants or anything inappropriately revealing. Use the school dress code as a guideline. All students must wear hard-soled shoes. The award date will be May 18 th .
