CCA Eagle Newsletter
Mark your calendars! Parent-teacher conferences are Thursday, February 12 from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm and Friday, February 13 from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm. This is a valuable opportunity for parents to meet with their child's teachers to discuss academic progress, classroom behavior, and to collaborate on strategies for success.
Middle School Families - Because spring conferences are intended to support struggling students, attendance is not required. If you have no concerns about your child’s progress, please consider waiting until the week of February 2 to sign up. And you are always welcome to reach out via email. In an effort to create quality conferences and allow each family the ability to meet with their child’s teachers we ask that you limit your conference selection to 3 teachers.
Please note, there is NO SCHOOL for students on Friday, February 13.
Interpreters for Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parents! Resources are available for interpreters. If you would like to request an interpreter to assist at your child's conference(s), please complete the Interpreter Request Form by February 2, 2026. We look forward to seeing you soon!
