January 21st - 25th
Dear CAO Students and Families,
Congratulations on finishing the first semester strong! The Academic Showcase and Expo was a huge success and our students shined in the large variety of projects they displayed and presented.
Second semester courses have been loaded in Summit. Make sure to check Schoology for any updates from your teachers for second semester.
What should you do first? Please set your goals for this week. The Cafe will be closed on Thursday and Friday, so making a plan, setting weekly goals, and making sure you have work samples and logs ready for your conference. Cohort conferences will take place Thursday and Friday, January 24 & 25, 2019. Students should have completed PE and Reading Logs, as well as all work samples turned in. Also, community service, for students, and volunteer hours, for parents should be updated. Please contact your cohort teacher if you have any questions.
Thank you for an excellent first semester and for finishing strong!
Dr. Stacey Perez

Community News
CAMS is looking for Tutors!
Classical Academy Middle School is looking for High School Students who might be good writing and math tutors, who understand the summit platform and willing to help out some middle school students. You would be recommended to parents as private tutors, and it could be an opportunity to get tutoring experience. And if you choose to volunteer your time, you could use it for Community Service Hours!
If you are interested, you need to be in good academic standing, recommended by teachers (formal recommendations aren't necessary), and willing to work demonstrate patience and flexibility while working with younger students.
Contact Sarah Pierce for more information: spierce@classicalacademy.com
Parent Volunteer Opportunities!
Parent volunteers help keep our programs running! Remember every $10 spent counts as a volunteer hour.
