Our PAL Program is Underway
Students have been working closely with our Learning Center faculty on their PAL (Personalized Approach to Learning) profiles. These data-driven, fact-based, and anecdotal profiles present how a student learns, along with information on their background, interests, abilities, achievements, and challenges. The profiles allow us to develop learning plans that dovetail with the curriculum to create an exciting learning experience and the foundation for student success. Also, PAL classes have started meeting to teach executive functioning and how to use our new binder system and planners effectively.

Driveway Courtesy is a Must at CCA
It is very important to remain vigilant when driving on the CCA campus. Remember that there are many parents dropping off and picking up children in a short amount of time each day, and it is important to be efficient and courteous. ALWAYS DRIVE SLOWLY when you are on campus. Please follow the guidelines below:
- Drive no faster than five (5) miles per hour on campus.
- Use your directionals while driving on campus.
-
Drop-off begins at 7:40 a.m. Pick-up is at 3:00 p.m.
- The upper circle is for lower school drop-off/pick-up, and the lower circle by the science building is for middle and upper school drop-off/pick-up.
- Keep your children buckled up until they are absolutely ready to disembark.
- Have your child exit the right side of your vehicle.
- Drivers, do not exit your car.
- Do not pass other vehicles in the traffic circle.
- Any student who arrives at school after 8:00 a.m. must report to the reception desk to sign in.
Thank you for helping to keep our community safe.
