Developing student-focused pathways for a lifetime of opportunities through

innovation, exploration, and community partnerships.

Hi CLA families,

It is an honor to serve our scholars and the larger CLA community. One of the things that I love most about what we do at CLA is "developing student-focused pathways for a lifetime of opportunities." As we build our processes and make changes to improve, we gather input from scholars, parents, and staff about our scholars' experiences and then make decisions that are best for scholars long-term. We want to see our scholars thrive in life, not only to the graduation stage. YOU are a crucial piece of that process!

As we move into March, we will be looking for parent/family input at our monthly CIP meeting, parent-teacher conferences, and a family survey. Please know that input and feedback are valued and appreciated and used to make decisions that impact our scholars for a lifetime.

Make sure to sign up for Spring Conferences with your scholar's Advisor below.

Serving with gratitude,

Jennifer Evans

Lisa Paredes has recently joined CLA as a volunteer, and is qualified to support our scholars with some weekly counseling services. We appreciate this partnership to further support our scholars' mental health and wellness!

The CLA Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is looking to recruit for the 2023-2024 school year. Thank you to those who have volunteered with our PTO in the past few years and for the time you have dedicated to our scholars!

As we move into the new year, our hope is to expand the PTO with the K-12 lens and support the Community/Family/School Relationship across our system.

Has your scholar received an award, scholarship, or recognition for an accomplishment for a sport, club, or involvement in the community?

Let us know!!! We would love to celebrate our scholars here in the future.

• School Opens at 8:30 AM
• Breakfast at 8:45 AM
• Class begins (Mon-Thur) at 9:10

• School Dismissal
• 2:45 PM (Mon-Thur)

• Friday (Learning Center Open 1:00-3:30)- Fridays will be dedicated to asynchronous (work from home) time and scheduled interventions on campus. Oregon Department of Education requires students to work Monday through Friday within their course work. Attendance will be taken on Friday based on the Canvas Advisory Attendance assignment and completing assigned work.

Attendance -

**Students are required to have ACADEMIC PROGRESS (work submitted daily) and COMMUNICATION (Advisory Attendance assignment) every day for daily attendance.**. CLA High School students are also required to attend their Advisory session in person each week. PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE IF YOUR STUDENT IS SICK OR UNABLE TO COMPLETE COURSEWORK.

Every 3 weeks, CLA staff reviews scholar academic progress school-wide. We call this Academic Review. As we review the academic data, we look for ways to celebrate and to support our scholars. We also take this time to communicate with parents as needed. We encourage families to take notes of these dates as well. You can use these dates to celebrate and support your scholar too!

As part of this process, scholars in need of additional support, may be placed on an Academic Plan of Assistance, requiring daily on-campus attendance.

The next Academic Review dates are:

• Friday, March 8th
• Friday, May 3rd

Parent support is invaluable! Although they may not always act like it, your high school student needs you now more than ever. CLA wants to help you keep that connection. Parents have found great success using the Canvas Parent App and the Crater Lake Academy App.

We encourage our parents to download the Canvas Parent App to stay connected to student assignments, grades, and announcements.
