A Message from Mr. O: Finishing Strong (and a Hope for the Future) We are now entering the 4th quarter of the strangest school year I’ve ever been a part of.  To think back on a year of stops and starts, quarantines and isolation, masks and mandates, is to think back on a year unparalleled in our lifetimes.  With two months to go, we can now see an end in sight and more importantly, a new beginning for next year. CPA currently has about 420 students in person and around 50 students who are still 100% online.  Over the last several months, it’s become apparent that more families would like their children to receive as much in person instruction as possible.  With the increase in demand each of the last two quarters, we are on a gradual return to normal. While we may feel done with Covid and all the restrictions that go with it, it is not done with us.  Most of the staff is now vaccinated, but only recently has the general public become eligible.  While rates of infection are down, we still have protocols and rules to follow that don’t allow us to operate normally. Slowly, it is getting more normal, but it sure is slow.  I recognize and appreciate the patience families have shown CPA this year; we ask for a little more for 4th quarter. We are committed to getting back to what we do best next school year.  No one can predict exactly how it will look, but we know that kids need to be in school, see their friends, and receive in person instruction.  Online learning was a needed addition, but it is no substitute for being in class.  So much more happens in an active classroom that doesn’t happen online. So thank you for everything you’ve had to do this year: change schedules at a moment’s notice, keep kids home when classes have had to quarantine, find friends to watch the kids when you’ve had to go to work.  All of these sacrifices have allowed us to keep the doors open and keep everyone as safe as possible.  Our goal, just like yours, is to get back to normal as soon as possible and for the first time in a long time it feels like that just might happen soon. Monday Email Blast: We hope that everyone enjoyed their spring break! 3rd Quarter report cards will be sent home for all students tomorrow.  They are also available in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal under Documents.  Please be sure you take a look at your student’s report card and contact your student’s teacher(s) with any questions. Many students will be starting school tomorrow.  Here are a few helpful reminders for families: Drop off starts at 7:30 a.m. and can be done using the driveline only as all students must have a temperature check prior to entering the building.  Please give yourselves plenty of time in the mornings. Breakfast is available for all students in their classrooms. If you arrive for dismissal prior to 3:00, you may be instructed to park in a space in the parking lot.  Please see Mr. O’s last video for more information.  Students will not leave the building for dismissal until 3:00 at the earliest, so if you arrive before then, please be prepared to wait for your child(ren).  For a fast dismissal process, please arrive between 3:15-3:30. Join us for the next PTA meeting this Thursday,...
