Dear Students, Families, and Learning Coaches –

We send to you a humongous, warm welcome to the 19-20 school year at Destinations Career Academy of Colorado! We hope this email finds you well rested and energized to start your courses, your learning, and your exploration of all the wonderful aspects of the classes you are taking. We are thrilled to have you as students and excited to begin our educational journey together. Please take 4 minutes to watch this video from the Head of School, Mrs. Teri Cady. https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cqjrDIt6t1

Please note that in the video we reference the High School Week of Welcome schedule. Middle School students - your schedule (in your email and in your OLS) looks a little different.

Thank you for your commitment to Destinations Career Academy!

We wish each of you the very best start to the year - The CODCA Team

Dear, page turners! How would you like to trade books with your friends?! This year you will have that chance at our Face to Face events. If you are interested (and your parents agree), bring gently used books you would like to exchange with others at our school. We’ll have a bin where you can deposit and retrieve the shared literature. Note: This is not intended to be a donation bin. Kindly be appropriate with your selections. We look forward to sharing!

Student Council is excited for the 2019-2020 school year! Watch your announcements and course schedule for the upcoming meetings and annual elections.

Contact Mrs. Ludwig with any questions: cludwig@codca.org

What do the world’s happiest and most successful people have in common? According to 7 Mindsets research, the answer is not based on gender, ethnicity, or socio-economic status. It has nothing to do with how or where you were raised. It doesn’t even have to do with skills or education. It is about how and what we think about ourselves and the world around us. In fact, the similarities of happiness and success are based on how the world’s most successful people think. Here at CODCA, success and happiness are critical elements of a student’s education.

This year we are entering our 2nd year with 7 Mindsets: a blueprint for happiness, intentionality, and success, written in simple, powerful language to teach and activate success strategies for students to live intentionally and tap into their unlimited potential. Throughout the year, we will focus on learning and demonstrating the following mindsets:

• The Everything is Possible mindset provides an understanding that we are all capable of extraordinary lives.
• The Passion First mindset teaches us that we are each a unique expression of human life, and that our lives should be focused on finding our unique genius and sharing it with the world to the maximum extent possible.
• The We Are Connected mindset helps us to understand that everyone who comes into our lives can help us live our dreams.
• The 100% Accountable mindset teaches us that we are not victims of our past, that our futures are not predetermined, and that our lives are what we choose them to be at this moment and each moment forward.
• The Attitude of Gratitude mindset teaches us that we build our lives on either positive or negative foundations.
• The Live to Give mindset teaches that abundance in one’s life is a cycle.
• The Time is Now mindset teaches that all your power exists in the moment.

Small steps can make the biggest difference, simply by taking action. So, join us! We are excited to take this journey with our students and their families.
