Safety Update
Dear CCA Community,
Many of you received Superintendent Harry Bull's correspondence regarding the tragic school shooting in Santa Fe Texas last week. We want to assure you that the safety team at CCA will continue to work tirelessly to ensure the safety of our students. We echo Dr. Bull's message:
Nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of our students. We will continue to do everything in our power to provide schools where the children of Cherry Creek can learn, grow and thrive in a safe, secure and caring environment. We appreciate your partnership in this all-important effort.

Field Day 2018 is packed with new and exciting activities, plus some old favorites.
On Wednesday, May 30th, students will rotate through TEN stations!
Students may enjoy a free "athletic" dress day (close-toe shoes are required),
but make sure your child is sent to school prepared for a day in the sun.
Please label their sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, water bottles, and anything extra coming to school that day. There will be a water event this year, but bathing suits and towels will

As we all know life is a journey with adventures along the way. My time at CCA has been one of my enjoyable adventures. (Well, maybe, I could say morning duty has been it's own adventure.) I've often said I am able to do one of my favorite things, teaching, without the stressors and challenges of a classroom. It has been a privilege to work with fabulous classroom teachers and staff during my time here. An added bonus is the friendships formed. Thank you so much for allowing me this special time

Ms. Koenig grew up in Nebraska and graduated with her teaching degree from the University of Nebraska, but calls Colorado her home. This is Ms. Koenig’s 14
th
year teaching at CCA. Prior to that she was a substitute for other schools including CCA. She holds her Colorado teaching license endorsed in elementary education and secondary social studies.
She has been involved in the school since almost the beginning. Her three children all graduated from CCA, the youngest going all the way through K-8.
Ms. Koenig is an animal lover and if she didn’t work with children, she would definitely work with animals in some capacity. She enjoys her grand-dog, Roxie, a 5 pound Yorkie and walks with her at every opportunity. She and her family also love the mountains.
The picture of her and her family is from an AV’s game. She is a super AV’s fan!!

CCA has a New & AMAZING Library Website
(Click below to check it out!)

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!

Greetings CCA Families,
We are wrapping up our first year of Cub Scouts with Pack 222- CCA’s own Cub Scout Pack, and we’ve had a wonderful time. Next year, our program will be expanding in some exciting ways. Family Scouting is a new model being introduced that allows both boys and girls to experience the fun and engaging scouting experience. We often have siblings attending our meetings and participating in our events. Now- these siblings can fully participate! If you have a son or daughter who might want to participate in Cub Scouts this summer or next fall, fill out
this form
and we’ll be in touch!
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to email
