From the Principal

Good afternoon, CCA Families!

It has been a very busy week at CCA! Thank you all for continuing to support your students in their education as our first quarter comes to a rapid close. We can't wait to see all of you at Parent-Teacher Conferences next week. Be sure to check out the artwork in the main hallway when you come in. Our students are truly amazing!

Our Grades K-3 had a great time with Southeast Weld Fire Department today learning about fire prevention and safety. Thank you, SEWFD, for your commitment to the safety of our community!

FYI: 
  • Parent/Teacher Conferences: Be sure to sign up for an available time on the forms shared by classroom teachers. In order to respect the time of all parents and teachers, if you feel you may need more time than the allotted time in the schedule, please ask your child's teacher for a separate appointment at a different time. Special class teachers will host "Open House" style conferences with each teacher available on one of the scheduled evenings: 
  • Tuesday, Oct. 13 - PE (Coach Cole)
  • Wednesday, Oct. 14 - Music (Ms. Claypool)
  • Thursday, Oct. 15 - Art/STEM (Mrs. Baas)
  • After School Care will be available to all families free of charge during conferences. Please be sure to sign your children in and out with the aides on duty. Do not send them out on their own or call them to you without checking in with the aides. They do need to track attendance for safety reasons. Children should NOT be left unattended in hallways or other classrooms, as this may become disruptive to conferences in other areas. Thank you for your cooperation.  

Have a wonderful weekend!
