The More You Know: Tips from Maverick
|
|
The best way to ensure optimal health is to take preventative measures! Below are a few of our favorite tips to make sure all students are happy and healthy.
- Wash your hands often
- Eat an array of fruits and veggies every day
- Get adequate rest
- Avoid sharing drinks, food, hair accessories, etc.
Many common conditions that students and families face each year , such as
colds
,
stomach ailments
, and even
lice
, can be remedied.
CCA makes a conscious effort each day to provide a clean environment for our students.
For more information or questions, please contact CCA's school nurse,
Jayne Bauer
.

You must keep children home if their temperature is 100.3° or above without medication.
Please keep sick children home in order to preserve a healthy school environment and prevent the spread of illness.

Make plans to visit the Scholastic Book Fair and be involved in shaping your children's reading habits.

Finding Carpools: Schoolpool
|
|
Tired of the daily drop off and pick up lines.
We have a solution to cut down on the traffic.
Join Cherry Creek Academy’s Schoolpool program to connect
with other families to drive, walk or bike to school together.
Cherry Creek Academy has partnered with Way to Go to offer this program to our parents as a free service with the goal of reducing traffic congestion and minimizing the stress of getting children to and from school. Rest assured, your information will only be shared with participating Cherry Creek Academy families. No one else will ever see your information, unless you elect to share your information with families at other schools.
It’s free and there is no obligation to participate. Schoolpool is a service of Way to Go, a federally funded program of the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG).
Create an account and register your household address or intersection here:
https://mywaytogo.org/s/schoolpool-cherry-ceaf14.
To maintain the highest level of privacy and security, this link is the only way for Cherry Creek Academy participants to register
Information is provided for your use only. Cherry Creek Academy and Way to Go do not run background checks, confirm valid driver’s licenses or assess insurance coverage on participants. Potential users are advised to screen participants to their personal satisfaction and check their own insurance coverage for carpooling to ensure that they are covered under these voluntary arrangements. No drivers, vehicles or insurance are provided.
The Schoolpool secure mapping service can be used for trip planning, or emergency trips and is a great resource to meet nearby families for other reasons such as play-dates and baby sitters.
The more families that register, the more likely you are to find good matches.
