*SPECIAL EDITION* Parent Newsletter

We exist to lift up our children, come alongside our teachers and staff, and provide opportunities for parents to engage meaningfully in the life of the school – all while seeking to glorify God in everything we do.

We invite all Christian Academy parents to attend our monthly PTF meetings. These meetings are a great way to stay informed, connect with other families, and hear directly from school leadership.

Next PTF Meeting: Monday, September 15

During these meetings, you'll hear updates from CA’s Administrator, Principal, Preschool and Athletics Directors, Teacher Representatives, and PTF Officers. Whether you’re a returning parent or brand new to our school, you are welcome — and we’d love to see you there!

Our Fall Fundraiser is kicking off on September 29 and will run until November 5th. We hope you enjoyed samples of the cinnamon bread, macnut loaf, and chocolate chip cookies at our First Day of School Breakfast Bite! We will be selling our usual products again this year — Cinnamon Bread Loaf, Banana MacNut Loaf, Hot Dog Manapua, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Portuguese Sausage. More information will follow as we get closer to the kickoff date!

As we look ahead, we are full of hope and anticipation for all that God has planned. We believe our children are being equipped to become “servants, stewards, scholars, and statesmen who have a mind for truth and a heart for God, prepared to lead their generation to advance God’s kingdom as He has gifted and called them.”

We are here for you and always open to your feedback, ideas, and questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at ptf@capatriots.org.

Let’s make this school year one of growth, unity, and purpose — together!

With love,
Marcia Laroya

We LOVE partnering with our parents for their children's success, especially when parents volunteer with us! Throughout the year, we will have various opportunities for parents to help in their student's classroom or with different events. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete our background check. The form is also available in your family portal in FACTS.

In July, we held two parent focus groups to hear about what matters to you, our parents, so that together we can create a stronger school community. Your voice matters to us and we value your input. Here is what you shared with us:

Parents, we invite you to please attend our first-ever Ohana Summit so that you will be actively engaged with our school to include, teachers, school leaders, attend special events and learn about special projects.

Join us on Saturday, September 13th from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM in the Sanctuary.

This Ohana Summit will teach parents how to navigate within our Christian Academy school communication and record systems platforms.

FACTS Parent Portal. This system affords parents opportunities to monitor and oversee child’s progress in terms of grades, test results, attendance and teacher comments. FACTS system also assists in tuition management and records.

Student Status Connect. This platform will enhance family/school engagement and communication by providing a centralized hub for messaging, event highlights and information by sharing across multiple channels such as text, email and phone calls. This platform will manage all school communication.

As disciples of Christ, we are called to be life-long learners. Much of our academic learning has been just that, purely academic. Yet God wants to encounter and reveal Himself to us through every facet of education.

All of creation reveals the glory of God, but when you were in school, did you ever say, “Ugh, why do I have to learn this?!?” Did you know that God reveals Himself in the irregular verb “to be” or solving for “x” in algebra? Have you seen how spiritual warfare is reflected in math through vectors or how the foci of ellipses reveal the secret to becoming like Christ?

This is The Principle Approach, America’s historic Christian method of biblical reasoning that makes the truths of God’s Word and His character the basis of all learning. You will be equipped to think critically and reason from biblical principles. Come and break through strongholds that have kept you from loving God with all your mind and discover His kingdom purposes for everything you’ve learned.

This class is offered by First Assembly of God on Thursdays at 6:30 PM, beginning on September 4 and ending on November 20, 2025. Please register here.
