Please note that if you indicate a child is not returning, this will act as a formal withdrawal request with an effective date of the last day of school. Please direct any questions or concerns to Admissions at admissions@cherrycreekacademy.org.

The deadline for re-enrollment is Friday, March 13, 2026.

Join us for CCA Connections!

At Cherry Creek Academy, we believe that data is a powerful tool for academic excellence. Join us for our upcoming CCA Connections event where we will give community members an overview of the various assessments administered throughout the year. We will provide clarity on what these tests measure, how the data is used, and—most importantly—what it means for your child.

As always, there will be time for questions about this topic and anything else on your mind!

Reminder - log your volunteer time on Track It Forward. Every hour counts!

CCA will be hosting the Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast on Friday, April 10. All volunteers who have logged 30+ family hours by March 31 will receive an invitation on April 1.

CCA's Running Club is returning for a focused 6-week training season designed specifically for 4th–8th graders. This program is for students who genuinely enjoy the challenge of distance running or have previously competed on CCA’s Cross Country team.This club focuses on endurance, mental discipline, and community. Because we will be building up to a 3-mile distance over just 6 weeks, this program is reserved for experienced runners or those who have run for the CCA Cross Country team. Practices will include dynamic warm-ups, interval training, and aerobic base work to ensure every runner improves safely.

• Schedule: Season: March 23rd-May 8th Mon/Wed/Fri | 3:45 – 4:45 PM. A minimum of 2 practices a week unless pre arranged with Coaches MacFarland and/or Wong
• Focus: Stamina, injury prevention, and distance progression.
• Prerequisite: CCA XC veteran or a strong interest in long-distance running.

Graduation is around the corner and we are excited to celebrate your students as they wrap up their time at CCA. We are asking each family to share 2 photos of your student - a baby photo and one from early elementary school (first day of school, if possible).

Please utilize the form to share these images with CCA to show at 8th Grade Graduation by Monday, March 23.

Don’t let your student’s favorite moments fade! Secure your copy of the 2025-2026 CCA Yearbook today. Yearbooks will be delivered to CCA before the last day of school.

Every purchase made before the deadline includes FREE custom pages! Personalize your book with your own photos and memories at no extra cost. Custom pages must be completed by April 18.

We are committed to keeping our community well-informed. Please read these important updates from our Board of Directors Meeting on February.
