An Update from CCA Admin: 7/8 Writing Teacher
|
|
Dear Parents,
We wanted to share an update with you on our 7th/8th grade writing teacher search. We have posted for the position, reviewed applicants and selected several to join our team for interviews. Following those interviews we extended an invitation to candidates to join us for a second interview that includes an in-depth curriculum discussion, observations in our writing class and a conversation with our 7th/8th grade team. We intend to conclude our search process by November 13, 2018.
During our transition process we have secured a substitute who is following our lesson plans that are designed to keep our students on track.

Dear CCA Parents,
Giving our wonderful teachers and staff a basket full of goodies around Thanksgiving has been a longtime tradition here at CCA. We need your help to fill their baskets and show them
how much we appreciate all the time they give our children.
The CCA PTO will be putting together the baskets and we’re asking every CCA family to donate the item(s) listed below by grade level.
Donations will be collected curbside on Thursday, November 15th as you drop off your children at school. A parent volunteer or student council member will be in the front of the school to assist the children.
If you are attending Pastries with Parents on Friday November 16th, you can bring your donation inside at that time.
Please have your CCA student(s) bring the following on Thursday, Nov. 15th:
- Kindergarten (Full Day and Half Day): 1 fresh pineapple
- 1st Grade: 4 pears (not ripe yet, please!)
- 2nd Grade: I scented candle (6oz or 8oz please)
- 3rd grade: 1 box of tea (any flavor)
- 4th grade: 2 mangoes (not ripe yet, please!)
- 5th grade: 1 16 oz bag of pumpkin bread or pumpkin muffin mix
- 6th grade: 1 box of butter microwave popcorn
- 7th grade: 1 bag of chocolate candy (ie: Hershey’s, Dove, etc.)

Thank you for helping us continue this tradition of thanks at CCA!

October's Caring Community
|
|
Have you heard your child excitingly tell you they visited Mr. Loomis’ mailbox today? Or have you noticed a colorful square sticker on their shirt? If you have, your child was awarded a Caring Community. Here at CCA the staff love to recognize students displaying our Eagle Honor Traits.
Bimonthly, a name from each grade level is drawn for the Monthly Caring Community Winners. Free dress and a prize is rewarded with the hopes more students will hop on board and join CCA’s anti-bullying campaign. So when you hear about your child visiting Mr. Loomis’ mailbox or see your child displaying a CCA ABC (Anti-Bullying Campaign) character sticker ask them what task they were recognized for and congratulate them on thinking beyond themselves.
