Hello Families:

We are incredibly grateful for our beautiful community and looking forward to next week's Fall Break! We wanted to be sure to note that Fernando's Executive Director’s Open Office Hours have returned this week If you would like to talk, one on one, about any and all things CACS, please reach out directly at fnaguilar@creativeartscharter.org or message me through Schoology. Fernando will schedule a 15-30 minute meeting. He will be offering two different 1-hour blocks, Wednesday at 4pm and Thursday at 9am. Please know that these can happen in-person or virtually.

Wishing you a restful break!

In gratitude,

The Leadership Team

If your child has symptoms and tested positive for COVID-19, stay home and away from others for at least 5 days. Day 0 is when your symptoms started.

• After 5 days (on day 6 or later), you can leave home when:
• You have had no fever for the last 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications
• Your symptoms are getting better
• You should wear a well-fitting mask any time you have to be around others until day 11.

Thank you for joining us on November 2 for our Responsive Classroom Approach Workshop facilitated by our fabulous teachers- Ron, Max & Brooke! Click below for the handout that was shared.

These jobs are open to anyone from any grade! Email volunteer@creativeartscharter.org if you have questions, or are having a hard time using the volunteer tracker.

• School Tour Support: Be present at the school tour, so that prospective parents can ask questions. It's great to have parents who have been here since kindergarten, AND parents who started later on! Sign up here.
