CA Mid-Summer Update

Hello to All. I hope this Mid Summer Update finds you well and enjoying summer. The weather has not been ideal but the breaks of sunshine have been a warm welcome. We have had a busy summer at CA. Summer School is winding down with 1 week to go and the Summer Recreation Program has been a great way to transition students back into social settings. I have been working closely with the MS Staff to ensure a smooth opening to the 21-22 school year. In a few weeks, our first KinderCamp will open and we will be hosting tours for our incoming 5th graders on August 25th (more information below).

During the week of August 23rd, families will receive in the mail important information regarding the upcoming school year and the date when students can access the parent portal for class schedules/teacher information. New families will receive information on how to access the parent portal in this mailing. Be sure ALL information in the portal is up-to-date. This is how we access contact information in the event of an emergency. Link HERE to access the portal.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the main offices.

• Both the Centers for Disease Control and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) remind schools of the importance of students attending schools in-person or via hybrid model be up to date on all vaccines required for school entrance and attendance in NYS unless they have a medical exemption to required vaccines.

On Wednesday, August 25th, the middle school building will be open allowing all incoming fifth graders to visit the building. Guided tours are scheduled for 9am, 11am,1pm, and 2pm; tours typically run for about one hour. The school will also be open for self guided tours between 8am and 3pm on that same date. Students should report directly to the MS main lobby to sign in for a self-guided or guided tour with Ms. Schultz, the grade 5-6 school counselor.

School's Out but one student kept on going. A BIG SHOUT OUT to third grader Jesse Purdy. He got his green light on January 28th and is now a MATHLETE by mastering his multiplication and division facts to ten. Way to go Jesse!
