CLA Families,

As we wrap up the month of October I'm excited to roll into November with some positive momentum off of our 2nd Annual Fall Festival. It was a great success for our CLA community. I'm grateful for all the teachers, staff, families, and community partners that helped to make this event possible.

This months character trait is compassion. COMPASSION - is caring about others and behaving toward them with affection, generosity, and concern. What are some ways we can model compassion for our scholars? Please take time this month to discuss compassion with your scholar and the positive impact that can result from it. Thank you for partnering with us in guiding your scholar to find success as they learn and grow.

• November is COMPASSION month - this is a character trait that the classrooms will discuss and look for throughout the month. Each month we will have a new character trait. Please discuss what COMPASSION means to you as a family and talk about how your student can show COMPASSION at home, in the classroom and out in the community.
• ATTENDANCE...and the winners are...
• 6th Grade with 98.7% attendance (Highest in the school)
• 7th and 8th Grades were right behind, both with 98% attendance.
• 12th Grade with 95.6% attendance (Highest at the High School)

We are so proud of all of our students and parents for making such a great effort to be at school. Attendance is so important and being present is one of the components to success. Our goal is always 100% attendance...so, if your student is not going to be at school for the day, please make sure to contact the teacher as well as the office, to get any work assigned for that day so that you can get full attendance credit. Keep up the good work CLA students and parents!!!

At CLA we have a mission that Every Student Graduates+. We want to provide experiences for our students by exposing them to different career choices. We plan to have community speakers visit throughout the year to share the path they used to get to their career, whether it was through attending college/university, trade school, or a through a different path.

So, on the first Thursday of each month, our students and staff will wear college/university gear (college logo t-shirts, lanyards, hats, etc.) or dress in the career they want to be. Example: if a student is hoping to be a firefighter in the future and they have an outfit, they are encouraged to wear it on this day!

The hope is that we help our students start think about their future!

Please come and check out the LOST & FOUND for any personal items that your child may be missing! Also, as the colder weather is approaching, please be sure to write your child's name on jackets, lunch boxes, water bottles, backpacks, and any other item that they could possibly lose. This helps us to return these items to their proper owners. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

So important we're saying it again:

• School Opens ~ 8:30AM Breakfast ~ 9:00AM Class begins (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)
  
  

• School Dismissal ~ 3:00PM (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday)

• Wednesday Dismissal ~ 2:00PM

• Friday (work from home day) Please check in with your teacher to receive attendance credit.

• Bussing / Transportation ~ Please call EPSD Transportation at (541) 830-1245, if you need information about when and where your child will be picked up and dropped off via bus, before and/or after school.

Attendance -

**Students are required to have ACADEMIC PROGRESS and COMMUNICATION every day for daily attendance** PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE EVERYDAY WHEN YOUR STUDENT IS UNABLE TO ATTEND CLASS AND HAVE THEM LOG INTO THEIR CANVAS TO WORK FROM HOME if they are able. This information will allow us to code the absence correctly and will prevent an attendance letter from being automatically generated from the students profile.

Fridays -

Fridays will be dedicated to asynchronous (work from home) time and scheduled interventions on campus. Oregon Department of Education requires students to work Monday through Friday within their course work. Attendance will be taken on Friday based on students logging into Canvas and completing assigned work.

Face masks are optional in all school settings. Please continue to be safe and if your child is feeling sick keep them home. Thank you for your cooperation.

6-8th grade athletics are provided through a district's "home school". This is the school that a student would attend based on the locational boundary they live in. If you live in the Eagle Point School District boundaries please see the information below. If you live outside the EPSD boundaries please contact your home district for information.

Parent support is invaluable! Although they may not always act like it, your student needs you now more than ever. CLA wants to help you keep that connection. Parents have found great success using the Canvas Parent App and the Crater Lake Academy App.
