Classical Academy Online - News
April 22nd-26th
Dear CAO Families,
Can you believe there are only 34 more school days until summer break? Students should be preparing for cohort conferences this upcoming Thursday and Friday. We will have regular workshop days on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tomorrow night at 5:00 p.m.we will host a senior informational night at Classical Academy Online. We will review information for grad night, graduation, and end of the year updates.
The window for state testing is now open. All 9th graders will take the physical fitness test on Monday, May 13, 2019. All juniors will take the english, math, and science tests on May 21 & 22. If your student is unable to test on those dates, please have them see their cohort teacher or Mr. Morningstar, our testing coordinator, to set up a different time to test. State testing is part of our parent partnership agreement, as well as how we get funding from the State of California. All students must complete the state testing by the end of the school year. Please see me if you have any questions or concerns.
We are here to help students finish up strong! Please let us know how we can help guide your student through these last few weeks. The blue line will stop moving on May 24 and the platform will close June 7.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
Dr. Stacey Perez
