Hello Families:

We hope you "fell back" and appreciate the extra hour! Looking back over the last few weeks, we as a community have been pretty busy! We have celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month Honor Roll, Halloween, and Dia de los Muertos together as a community. Hopefully, you've had a conference and feel supported and knowledgeable about how to support your child. If you haven't, please reach out to your teacher or advisor.

There is so much strength in the community, and we see that every day in our families. Continue to share that joy and love with each other!

We look forward to another amazing week!

The Leadership Team

• FAMILIES- if you are parking on Pierce st in the WHITE ZONE then you are preventing bus access for students with special needs. PLEASE stop parking there- this space does not belong to us.
• Parents need all of the new driving/chaperone requirements. Families that have been here since kinder (and now are in MS) still do not have the minimum for bodily injury. This is important- please update!
• Please come to the Elm Alley gate (not Turk) between the hours of 9am and 3:20pm.
  
• Families, please update your contact information ( address and phone numbers) with Roberta at rfudim@creativeartscharter.org. This is so important in support of your child(ren)!

• For the school year 2023-2024 all meals will be served at no cost to the families/students regardless of the student's eligibility. Please click on the button below to fill out the application.

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.
