A Month Long Community Sock Drive

Socktober is a national sole warming movement that gives everyone an easy and fun way to help those in need within their very own town via a new pair of socks! We are also accepting warm clothing and non perishable food items.

Donate items from October 16th - November 17th! Please bring items to the high school or elementary front desk.

Popcorn Fridays are back!
You can pre-order your popcorn in the morning for $0.50 a bag!! Pre-ordered popcorn will be ready for pick up after school by the playground doors. Some additional popcorn will be sold in the elementary and high school front lobbies! NEW THIS YEAR!! The class who purchases the most popcorn from 9/29-12/8 will win a class party!! All of the proceeds from the popcorn sales will go into the teacher appreciation fund!!

We had a fabulous number of bags sold last week! Thank you everyone!

CARPOOL PROCEDURES

Please remember that the carpool lane is a "Kiss & Go" lane, and refrain from leaving your vehicle during pick-up and drop-off. This allows us to keep the carpool lane moving efficiently. If you'd like to spend a little extra time in drop-off, please use the parking lots on the west and east sides of the building. We recognize that many of our parents are on tight schedules and want to respect their time!

ELEMENTARY PARKING LOT

Please park ONLY in the designated parking spots in the West (Elementary) Parking Lot, and use the marked handicapped spots only if you have a valid handicapped placard or plates. The entire front lot other than designated spaces is considered a fire lane, and the sheriff's department has received complaints about cars illegally parked these areas. Jeffco deputies are patrolling the area and have informed us that they will issue citations for violations. Thanks for helping us keep our kids and staff safe!

CARPOOL SAFETY

Please "hang up before you pick-up." The carpool lane is a no cell phone zone for the safety of our students. Also, please load students on the RIGHT (sidewalk) side of the vehicle ONLY. Loading on the left side in moving traffic is not permitted.

Carpool Procedures are at this link!

INTRODUCE US TO YOUR FRIENDS!

If you have friends or family members whose students are in classes of 30 or more, or are struggling in school, please talk to them about Collegiate Academy and our average 12:1 student: teacher ratio! We still have room in many grade levels, including one space left in our tuition-free full day Kindergarten.

NEXT WEEK'S

CORE VALUE

QUALITY

Dear Collegiate Families,

Have you had a chance yet to check out our new and improved website? Click here to see what’s changed.

This past week has been incredibly eventful here at Collegiate Academy! Last week we celebrated Halloween with another successful Monster Mash. Student’s came to CAC in costume and had a blast dancing, playing games and winning all sorts of candy prizes. Our high school finished the evening with a scary movie marathon where for a change having frightened high school students was a good thing.

Art Club and Science Club continue to be a big hit, while our Ultimate Frisbee and Girls Volleyball teams have improved tremendously in recent weeks.

Make sure you check out the school calendar to see upcoming events for Veterans Day and the elementary school’s Fall Dance. We’re running a social media contest during November in order to enlist the help of the entire Collegiate Academy family spreading the word to the greater community of how great our school really is. Please participate freely.

This season also reminds us that the weather in Colorado can change quickly. Please send a winter coat, hat, gloves, and appropriate footwear every day, and remember that before Thanksgiving break all lost and found items will be donated to clothing banks.

Jefferson County has put guidelines in place for outdoor play and dismissal and we do our best to follow them. Whenever the outside temperature is below 25 degrees, including wind chill, we will have recess indoors. When the temperature falls below 0 degrees, including wind chill, we will have indoor dismissal.

In the event of severe weather, Jefferson County Public Schools makes the determination regarding closing our school. Please keep an eye on any of the local news stations when you are concerned. An auto-dialer will also go out through email and phone services whenever the school will be closed for weather or other emergency conditions.

A friendly reminder, students do not come to school on Monday, November 6th due to a teacher service day.

As the holiday season approaches we can’t help but be thankful for all the assistance the entire Collegiate Academy community so freely volunteers. Thanks for your support and warm wishes for a great Thanksgiving holiday!

The administration team.
