Parking & Traffic: Friendly Reminders
|
|
Drop-off Time and Location
School begins at 8:05 a.m. Supervision for student drop-off is provided from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. All students must be dropped off on the north side of Caley. There is one line of cars on Caley. We ask that you stay in this line and continuously pull up. There is a yellow sign one car length past the opening of the front lot. NO STUDENTS may be dropped off until they have pulled up past that sign. This is for the flow of traffic and the safety of all our students. Please stay in line, do not pull around cars to get ahead.
Afternoon Pick-up Times and Locations
Strictly adhere to the indicated times. If you arrive prior to your student’s assigned pick-up time, you may be asked to leave and come back at your scheduled time. CCA staff will accompany students at all times. Those who do not have older CCA siblings or belong to a carpool with older members will immediately go outside to be picked up at their assigned time.

Thank you on behalf of all CCA staff to the amazing Hospitality Committee, Shaden Awada and Natalie Souriel, all the amazing volunteers that helped put together baskets, and everyone that donated items!

Cross Curriculum and Creating Clay Castles:
Featuring 8th Graders in Art
|
|
Last week, CCA 8th graders created castles out of clay in Mrs. Peterson's Art Class. Last year, as 7th graders, they learned about castle in the Middle Ages with Mrs. Giroue in history. This year, as 8th graders, they practiced their design principals and reflected on the lessons they'd previously learned while they crafted their castles.
