CAV Message
Hi CAV Families,
I hope this finds everyone settling in and on their way to finishing up Unit 1. I know the first Unit of the Year is always a learning experience. I hope you are reaching out to your Teacher for support when you need it. They have a bank of resources to help with all kinds of needs.
Please remember not to come too early for pick up. It will help to keep the lines down. Also, you can not drop off before 8:30. We do not have adult supervision outside until then. Please reach out to the office with any questions about drop off or pick up.
Here's to a wonderful week of learning!
Take care,
Kirstin Lasto, CAV Principal

MEAL PROGRAM
We are pleased to offer every student one free meal kit each day they are on campus. Meals must be pre-ordered through Boonli and will be available to pick up various times throughout the day to allow for flexible schedules.
The Classical Academies participates in a school meal program by offering a free, nutritious breakfast meal every school day. Our breakfast program is available to all students, regardless of eligibility status, who are on campus longer than two hours for an educational purpose. Pre-packaged Breakfast Kits must be pre-ordered through Boonli, and are available at various times throughout the day to allow for flexible schedules. When students arrive on campus, they will be able to choose from the available prepackaged Breakfast Kits. Each pre-packaged Breakfast Kit includes breakfast cereal, dried fruit, unsweetened regular or flavored applesauce, graham crackers, and low-fat milk. All meals must be pre-ordered online by noon the day before your student is on campus. (Click here for instructions on how to order)
Additionally, please refer to the 2021/2022 Meal Sites for Students for a list of alternate food service sites that are available across San Diego County. Any child 18 or younger can go to any of the school sites listed and receive food during this period.

What should you do if your child meets any of the criteria above?
Please reach out to your child's teacher or the school office, even if it is not a scheduled on campus day. Following the notification, our Safety Officer will reach out via email with guidelines on when your child may return to campus.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep our school community safe and healthy!
PARENT VOLUNTEER HOURS AND OPPORTUNITIES
PARENT VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
The Parent Volunteer Program was established to connect parents’ skills, passion, and abilities to their school community. Parent volunteers are the backbone of The Classical Academy program, and our parents’ leadership and talents are truly what make our school successful! You can find the link to log your volunteer hours in the weekly school updates (look for the ‘volunteer’ icon at the top of the newsletter). Please enter all the information correctly so that your hours are applied to the correct category/event.
As the year progresses, the Parent Volunteer Coordinator may email you with links to sign up for events that may need help as well as any needed donations.
