Board Election Reslults - Thursday, October 6, 2011

We are proud to announce that Melissa Rosling and Scott Steinbar have become the newest members of our Board of Directors. Through the election process these two submitted their applications and ran unopposed. Therefore, elections will not be held during the week of parent/teacher conferences. Their term will start January 2012 and extend through December 2015. We would like to encourage you to attend our monthly board meetings as an effort to meet the Board and obtain your input. At our school, everyone’s thoughts are important and valued.

Sincerely, The CCA Board of Directors

A BIG WELCOME back to all our returning students and our new students.

As the director I am very excited about this school year. It is really nice to have the same staff returning that we had last year. Turnover of team members has been very low for several years in a row, thanks to our school board which makes this a great place to work. I appreciate the parent support in bringing your children to our school.

There have been many concerns/questions regarding CCA's starting school early and not starting the same date as Weld Re3J. We started the same time this year as we have in the past. The school district started later because they have fewer in-service days than they have had in the past. Our intention is to match our schedule to the school district's, but we can’t always match it exactly. Please understand we must attend 144 days of school to meet the required hours. CCA has always done 144 days to meet those required hours. Our school does NOT receive more money by starting at a different time than the school district. Effort is always made to have the same holidays. I know it would be nice to not start school before Labor Day and finish before Memorial Day, but we could only do that by going longer days or going on Mondays.

My office door is always open, please feel free to stop in and visit with your concerns or praises.

Educationally yours
Harry Ewing
Director CCA
