We hope that your summer is off to a great start and you are enjoying some well-deserved rest! We cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful conclusion to the 2025-2026 school year. We wanted to send quick, easy to read updates for our community.

1. Carol Redmond and Gifted and Talented- Carol has made the exciting decision to join Seth Geltman in retirement! Please join me in congratulating Carol and thanking her for her wonderful work. We are going to miss her and wish you and Seth the best retirement ever! Carol is still planning to substitute in the building. We have posted the position and will update the community as we interview and select a candidate.

4. Construction updates: Things are moving along nicely here! GH Phipps has been working hard to complete the interior renovations. We also approved the shelving and cabinetry in the current building's classrooms. Our field and recess renovation is set to take place right around the 4th of July. We are very excited about these changes and additions and can't wait to share with everyone in the Fall.

A huge thanks to Jodi Peterson and Brandon Doer for already hanging the 30th Eagle Art Piece! This Eagle is displayed proudly right inside the school entrance. A huge thank you to all the families, staff, alumni and members who joined our 30th celebration.

Here are some fun pictures around the building!

Best, Travis

It is not too late to log your volunteer hours for the 2025–2026 school year on Track It Forward.

Our volunteer reporting year officially ends June 30. The Board Meeting on June 16 counts towards this year's hours. Please plan to join us in person or virtually!

Please note that families who have not completed their volunteer hour commitment will be contacted in July.

Thank you for your incredible partnership and support this year!

We hope you are enjoying the sunshine and settling into a wonderful summer routine! While we want our Eagles to have plenty of time to relax, play outside, and rejuvenate, a little bit of daily practice goes a long way. To help your child stay sharp, confident, and avoid the "summer slide," we encourage you to explore these free resources over the break. Remember, these are just suggestions—please find a balance that works best for your family!

💻 iReady Lessons (Available until July 14th)

Students can continue accessing personalized reading and math lessons from home. We recommend completing a minimum of two lessons per week (one in each subject).

• Using an iPad? Watch this instructional video to learn how to download the Classlink and iReady apps.

• Using a computer? Reference this help document for logging in.

📚 Daily Reading Practice

Consistent reading for just 15–30 minutes a day is the single best way to maintain academic skills. Check out these great resources:

• Arapahoe Libraries Summer Reading Program: Visit to earn prizes and free books!

• SORA Online Library: Digitally check out books right from home.

• 7th & 8th Graders: Don't forget to check out this special middle school reading resource put together by Ms. Bradley!

✏️ Summer Readiness Packets

Summer Readiness packets review the core standards essential for success in your student's upcoming grade level. You can also review the expectations and curriculum maps to see what content lies ahead.

• 🎉 Elementary Perk (Grades 1–4): Students who complete and return their packet during the first week of school will be invited to a special pizza party lunch bunch!

Thank you for being such incredible partners in your child’s education. Have a restful, safe, and wonderful summer!

We’ve organized our lists by grade level to make your shopping trip as smooth as possible.

While the deadline to have school supplies shipped directly to CCA has passed, you can still order school supply kits to be delivered to your home over the summer.

Please utilize the shipping calculator on SchoolToolBox.com for rates and delivery options.

Starting at a new school can be daunting, but you don't have to navigate it alone! The PTO is hosting two playdates at Silo Park (9300 E Orchard Rd, Greenwood Village, CO 80111) to welcome our newest members of the CCA community:

Sunday, June 28 - 9:30-11:30am

Saturday, August 1 - 9:30-11:30am

While hosted with our new students in mind, these events are open to the entire CCA community—the more the merrier! Please sign up so we can plan for snacks!

Our upcoming Board of Directors meeting is happening on Tuesday, June 16 at 6:00pm in the CCA Library. Parents are encouraged to attend (in-person or virtually) to stay informed on what's happening at CCA over the summer, updates from community leaders, and planning for the next school year.

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

Make It Your Own

The Sideline Store offers a massive variety of logo and customization options to help you show your CCA pride exactly how you want.

While we love seeing our community represent CCA, please keep in mind that items from the Sideline Store are for spirit wear purposes only. These items do not meet the daily school dress code requirements and are not to be worn by students during school hours.

Champions at Cherry Creek Academy is now enrolling for the upcoming school year! Champions provides a space where students can finish homework with help, enjoy snacks, and play with their peers after school.

CCA is continuing our partnership with Cherry Creek School District's Food and Nutrition services to bring a quality and nutritious breakfast and lunch to our CCA students. For more information, attached is a link to the CCSD Food and Nutrition Program Website.

We want to hear from you! What is going well? What questions, concerns, or comments do you have? Interested in joining a committee or getting involved some other way? Please let us know here and we will work to address your questions in upcoming newsletters and/or in 1:1 communication.
