Fifth and Sixth Grade

As most of you know, we have completed our polling of Fifth grade parents, and believe we have the commitment level to add Sixth Grade next year! Therefore, we are moving ahead with plans to do just that. Some of the plans include adding a science lab next year and also replacing one of our preschool playgrounds with a basketball court. We are also planning a schedule of monthly outings as well. We are looking at many other options and will be focused on setting up this program for the next several months. We are very excited that some younger grades will also be able to take advantage of changes that will be made to accommodate middle school grades. For example, fourth and fifth grade classrooms will benefit from the science lab on a bi-monthly basis.

As you all know, with the changes we’re making, CCA will be committing a lot of funds with the addition of Sixth grade. This will mean hiring new staff, funding for the science lab, and so on. This is why, when I talked with each Fifth grade parent, I told you guys that to begin following through with this project, we need parents who are committed to sixth grade next year (fifth grade parents this year) to pay their $100 Registration Fee and $100 of their book fee by March 15. We have already had some parents follow through with this financial commitment and we thank you so much for your quick action to do so! If you are planning to be here in sixth grade, but need help with payments for the $200 commitment, please call myself or Kim Young and we will help you with that.

We are very excited about what the 2012/13 school year will hold! We will be sending out more information as the plans for sixth grade development. We also welcome any input, suggestions, or questions you may have about this new venture. Please feel free to call me and I’ll help in any way I can. As always, we appreciate you!

Kindergarten Round-up

Our next “Open House” event is for parents of Prek-4 children and is called Kindergarten Round-up.

Our annual science fair is a required event for third, fourth, and fifth grade students and will take place on March 1.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

CORRECTION

Last Friday, we mistakenly listed the date of Open House as March 2. It is actually next Thursday, February 2. This event marks the beginning of the enrollment season for the 2012 – 13 school year and is scheduled for next Thursday, February 2 at 6 p.m. There will be time set aside for parents to visit the classrooms that their child is in this year and also where they will be next year. We strongly encourage parents of children in grades Kinder and above to attend. If your child is in Prek4, you are also welcome to attend, but we actually have a special Open House planned just for you. It’s called Kindergarten Round-up and is scheduled for Thursday, February 16. Keep watching Chatter news for more information.

Report Cards

Report Cards should have been signed and returned by now. If you have not yet returned your child’s Report Card, please do so right away.

Officer Martinez is the father of Victoria Martinez, Prek4C Aide. Thanks Victoria for sharing your dad with us!

Best Wishes to the Hale Family

Fifth grader Jace Hale has been staying with his grandparents in Houston this school year while mom was serving our country in Afghanistan. It brought tears to our eyes this week when we got to be in on her surprise return!

Thanks for letting us be a part of the answer for Jace this year and thank you for serving our country.
