CCA CHRISTMAS PROGRAM INFO:

K-6^TH GRADE KIDS NEED TO BE AT THE CHURCH BY 10:20AM

CLASS CHRISTMAS PARTIES: Grades preschool-6^th grade will have their Christmas parties on Friday, December 20.  Kids can wear their pajamas.

STRING FOR GLOVES – We are recommending everyone do the following with their child and their gloves/mittens: Get a long piece of string, ribbon, or yarn that you match to the length of your kid’s wingspan.  Tie the string to both mittens/gloves (you may need to make a small hole and a knot, but it’s worth it in the longrun).  Then run one mitten/glove and the string through both sleeves of the coat.  The mittens/gloves will then just hang out the bottom of the sleeves and we will spend less time searching for lost gloves.

SNOW CLOTHES: When snow is on the ground, kids need ALL FIVE THINGS to go outside.  All five things means: winter coat that zips, hood/hat, snow pants, snow boots, gloves; kids who do not bring their snow things will have to sit in the preschool during recess (which is not is much fun as playing outside).  Kids can also prepare to bring sleds for recess.  All sleds need their name in permanent marker in BIG LETTERS.

FOOD POLICY: Please note the following change regarding food policies: If your child will be at school during breakfast or lunch, please DO NOT send the following food/drink items: hot chocolates, Gatorade, any colored drinks, pizza lunchables, cinnamon roll lunchables.  We have had bad experiences with these items in the past; as a result, they are no longer allowed in the building.

SILVERWOOD READING TICKET HAS CHANGED: Silverwood no longer participates in “Reading is the Ticket” free ticket program.  They now use “Read to Ride.”  Our school has applied to participate in this program and is waiting to hear back from the Silverwood organization.  There may be a chance that they do not respond to our request this year, which is common in such large reading initiatives.  It took several years for our school to become a part of the former reading initiative.  If we do not get accepted this year, we hope our name is placed at the top of the list for the 2019-2020 school year session.  We will keep you informed of our progress as details unfold.

TUITION OPTIONS: Last week we sent home forms about your tuition options.  We want to give families the choice of either an eleven-month or twelve-month pay schedule that best fits your financial needs.  Thank you to the families who returned the forms.  IF YOU DID NOT RETURN YOUR FORM, WE ARE ASSUMING YOU WANT A 12-MONTH PAY SCHEDULE.  Based on the handbook acknowledgement form you signed at the beginning of the year, this handbook acknowledgment form is your payment contract if you did not return the other form last week.  Please contact me if you have any questions or wish to change to the 11-month pay schedule.  Thank you

NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL – WEEK 3       SEPT 17, 2018

TUITION OPTIONS: Please see your child’s teacher or the office for paperwork on your tuition options for this school year.  Some of our parents have expressed an interest in paying their tuition balance over eleven months instead of twelve.  As you know, our current tuition rates are based on a twelve-month payment schedule.  The total tuition cost is distributed over twelve months, making the payment the same each month regardless of the amount of days students attend school.  We want to give families the choice of either an eleven-month or twelve-month pay schedule that best fits your financial needs. 

Please read the tuition scales and determine which one works for you.  Please sign the note of understanding and return before September 21 so we can prepare your October statement correctly.  Thank you!

NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL – WEEK 33       July 9, 2018

FIRST GRADE CLASSROOM CHANGES: Our dear Mrs. O will be leaving July 14 for Virginia to join her newly-graduated Navy husband as he serves our country.  Her last day at CCA will be this Friday.  Please keep them in your prayers as they navigate this new journey.  Mrs. Brawley will become her long-term substitute for the rest of the school year.  Mrs. Brawley is already a current staff member and has been working with Miss Mindy in the Pre-K.  Mrs. Brawley has a degree in music education and is set to begin continuing her education in the fall by getting her teaching certificate through ABCTE (American Board of Certified Teachers of Education).  We interviewed several applicants for the long-term substitute position, but not one of them compares to her love, motivation, organization, and passion for educating children.  Please continue to pray for Mrs. O, Mrs. Brawley, and all of the first grade families as they explore these new adventures!

SNOW CLOTHES:

It’s that time of year again!  If there is SNOW or ICE on the ground, kids cannot go outside unless they have all 5 things:

1. Winter coat that zips

2. Hat or hood

3. Snow boots

4. Mittens or gloves

5. Snow pants

STRING FOR GLOVES – We are recommending everyone do the following with their child and their gloves/mittens: Get a long piece of string, ribbon, or yarn that you match to the length of your kid’s wingspan.  Tie the string to both mittens/gloves (you may need to make a small hole and a knot, but it’s worth it in the longrun).  Then run one mitten/glove and the string through both sleeves of the coat.  The mittens/gloves will then just hang out the bottom of the sleeves and we will spend less time searching for lost gloves. J EVERY STUDENT WHO DOES THIS AND SHOWS MRS. YOUNG THEIR COAT will get a treat from the treasure box. J

FUNDRAISER UPDATE – The whole school did amazing!  We were able to raise money towards the building fund and the kids all reached their targeted goals.  The whole school will have a pj/cocoa/movie day soon as well as a chance to decorate the following teachers up as “human Christmas trees”: Mrs. Young, Mr. Young, Mrs. Helmuth, Mrs. Olhausen, Mrs. Galli
