Our Mission: The mission of Crown Pointe Academy is to promote creativity, curiosity, character, and community in a challenging Core Knowledge environment. A Message from Mr. O: Planning for the Plan We’ve all learned a lot over the last few months. We’ve learned how to social distance, to do without things we used to think of as necessary, and to find supplies that are in short supply. School has been no different. We’v e learned a lot these last few months, too: how to run an online school, how to have Google Meet lessons, and how teach from a computer screen. Despite all we’ve learned, we still have a lot of unknowns. When is school going to start? What will school look like? Is it safe for my child to be around other children? We’ve all entered a new world and have to figure out a new plan of action. Our first adaptation to this new world was to move school online. Now we need to plan on moving school back indoors in the fall. Our expectation today is that we it won’t have school as usual. At this time, we believe it is likely that we will have a model of school with multi-week “ sessions” with a maximum class size of 10. For Crown Pointe, this type of structure would be based on the small group classes we already have, Cougar Time. Fortunately our teachers and assistants have a great deal of experience with this class structure helping making for a smoother transition. This new version of school will need to be flexible with the possibility of change at any moment and parents will have the opportunity to opt in to the choice that fits them best. It is a model of school, with parent choice at the center, where parents can pick the best option for them and their child(ren). Of course one of these choices will always be a 100% online option for those that want or need it. So in preparing for these changes, we have assembled a Return to School Committee (RSC) comprised of parents, community members, and staff. The RSC will meet weekly over the summer and plan for the million inevitable details of such a dramatic change, i.e. cleaning regimens, class structures, lunch schedules, and a routine for temperature checks just to name a few. The first action of the RSC will be to send out a parent survey the first week of June. We need your input on times of day, days of the week, online vs. in person and much more. Look for that survey invitation soon. The RSC will also update...
