OPERATION GRATITUDE:
A huge thank you to all of those who brought in the care package donations and letters this past week for our 1st Responders, military, and veterans! Also, a special thank you to our student volunteers for collecting the donations. Pictures and more follow-up details will be posted next week for your viewing in our CAV-Vista Corner News!
Help our Flag Team!
Ms. Helen's Project:
My Flag Team students are in need of 6 Music iPods! Throughout our school year, my Flag Team students are broken up into small groups and are encouraged to create small group performance routines for their school and community events. In the past, only those flag students who had their own iPods or cellphones were able to lead a small group. This year I would like to open up this leadership opportunity to all my Flag Team students, whether they own their own iPod or not. Having enough iPods for all our small group routines will make a profound difference in leadership positions for every flag team member.
Thank you all for your support!

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
Dear Families,
The Box Tops for Education program is changing the way we can earn cash for our school! Over the summer, participating brands have begun to change their packaging from the traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Tops label. Going forward, instead of clipping from packages and checking expiration dates, all Box Tops will be earned digitally by scanning your receipt. The Box Tops for Education team has worked hard to build a NEW-and-improved, user-friendly Box Tops mobile app, available now. The new app features state-of-the-art technology that allows you to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to our school's earnings online.
If you have any questions, please contact our Box Tops Parent volunteer:

Hello Classical Academy Vista Families!
I am so grateful to be in my third year as the school counselor here at CAV. I love to get into classrooms and do lessons based on current student needs in regards to different social emotional skills. My lessons will occur based on teacher scheduling and need, but I try to get into classrooms at least once per unit. Some examples of lessons might include how to be a good friend, growth mindset, coping strategies for stress management, or based on one of our 8 Keys of Excellence. Attached here is a slideshow of what I do as a school based counselor. If you should ever have any questions, concerns, need resources, or have student referrals, please do not hesitate to reach out. I’m very passionate about building a positive, welcoming school climate on campus and look forward to seeing you all throughout the year!
All my best,
Charity Marino

PARKING AND SCHOOL DAILY SCHEDULE
Parking Policy
Please follow the arrows and sign to our parking lot. We are the second lot as you drive in. The first lot is for the Church and Preschool only. We want to be respectful of our neighbors, so please park in our lot only.
There is no drop off in the church parking lot. For security of our kids, we need to drop them off in our parking lot or directly to our office. This is especially important for our K-2 classrooms on the first level. They must go to the office and be walked to class if they are late.
Thank you for following our parking policies!
School Drop Off Traffic Flow Diagram
School Pick Up Traffic Flow Diagram
Drop off is from 8:30 - 8:45 am.
We will meet in the gym for our all school assembly from 8:45 - 9:00 am. All family and friends are welcome at our morning assembly. All kids will follow their teacher to their first morning class at 9:00 am.
Late arrivals will need to check in at the office. Office Staff will walk students to their class.
Pick up is at 3:00 pm for K-2nd and 3:30 pm for 3-8th.
Younger siblings waiting for older ones will be supervised on the playground until the 3:30 pm pick up.
We have two lines of traffic that come into the pickup area.
At book pick up, you will receive a placard with your last name to display in your car window.
Last names beginning with A-K are on the playground lane (inner right lane) and L-Z are on the parking lot lane (left lane). Signs will be posted to help with traffic flow. The first few weeks will be slower as we learn to recognize cars. Please be patient as we work this out. Last year we were able to get everyone in and out within 10 minutes.
PARENT FORMS
Alternate Pick Up - Please complete this form and bring to our front office if your child(ren) will be picked up by someone other than a parent or guardian
Medication Form - 2019-20 Medication Form will now require a doctors signature for ANY medication
Household Information Update - Please return this form to the office with any new information so we can update our records. If you change your residential address, we will need a current proof of residence showing the new address.
NEW Medication Policy for the 2019-2020 school year
The California Department of Education has requirements for the way schools handle student medications, and because of that, all TCA schools will put into effect the following medication policy for the 2019-2020 school year.
Per Education Code 49423 & 49423.1, any medication required to be taken during school hours, whether prescribed or over-the-counter, must have a doctor's signature, name of the medication, dosage, schedule, and method of delivery . We also must have a written statement from the parent indicating the desire to have the school assist the student with the medication per the doctor's order. Even if your student will be carrying their medication with them, we still have to have a signed form from the doctor, from the student stating they understand how to take the medication, and signed approval from the parent.
We will no longer be able to administer any type of medication (not even Tylenol or Ibuprofen) without a doctor's signature, even if it is only a one-time situation. We will also no longer be able to accept any loose medication. All medication must be in the original container.
We know this might be inconvenient, but it is really for the safety of the students. Since we do not have licensed nurses on site, these changes are being made to allow safe delivery of medication and predictable outcomes for students who are assisted by unlicensed personnel. We are receiving annual training by the school nurse to deliver medications safely. Any medication requiring extra skill for delivery will be communicated to the school nurse who will then set up training with selected staff.
If your child will need to have medication available in the office next school year, you can pick up one of the new medication forms ,which has a spot for your doctor's signature, in the front office or download the form here.
Please note, this new form is only good for one year and should not be dated before July 1st, 2019.
