CLA Navigators Newsletter

Developing student-focused pathways for a lifetime of opportunities through

innovation, exploration, and community partnerships.

Hello CLA Families,

Thank you parents and scholars who attended Conferences. The high school staff values your partnership and truly enjoyed the time spent with each one of you during Conferences. Thank you for taking the time to meet with us and discuss your scholar's academic progress and goals.

With Spring Break behind us, we are ready to forge ahead into the final quarter of the year. There is a lot of learning left to be done, and we can't wait to see the growth in our scholars. On the horizon we have state testing (11th grade only), Prom, and Graduation planning. We have Spring Term for Pathways scholars, Friday Enrichment Activities, a college and career tour, and Honors Night too! A lot of learning and a lot of memories to be made!

If you haven't already started following us, CLA is on instagram. @claoregon. Check it out to see the GREAT things our scholars are doing every day.

Proud to serve at CLA,

Jennifer Evans

April's Scholar Spotlight is on Peyton Hoefft. Peyton is a Junior at CLA and she is fully embracing the vision of "Every Student Graduates +". Peyton is an independent learner who consistently exemplifies academic excellence in her coursework. She has also participated in academic competitions such as the SOU Scavenger Hunt and Brain Bowl with exuberance. In addition to this, Peyton is connecting her passions and skills to her future goals.

Peyton's long-term career goal is to study Psychiatry to become a Pediatric Psychiatrist. This is her second year as a Pathways Academy scholar at CLA working toward an Associated Degree at Rogue Community College. Peyton continually challenges herself in making significant gains towards her goals.

In her spare time, Peyton is also a devoted thespian. She has participated in Advanced Theatre at EPHS through CLA's Extended Elective option for the last two years. Currently, Peyton is set to perform in Dreaming of Midsummer at Modern Prometheans, a small local theatre here in the valley. Upcoming show dates are April 25th-28th and May 2nd-5th. Best of luck, Peyton!

Reminder: All Pathways Academy scholars enrolled in a Spring Term course MUST begin and submit work during the first week of Spring Term in each course or the course will be auto-dropped.

"Scholars join us for an engaging assembly that promises to be both informative and entertaining. Your presence will make it even more memorable!"

Every 3 weeks, CLA staff reviews scholar academic progress school-wide. We call this Academic Review. As we review the academic data, we look for ways to celebrate and to support our scholars. We also take this time to communicate with parents as needed. We encourage families to take notes of these dates as well. You can use these dates to celebrate and support your scholar too!

As part of this process, scholars in need of additional support, may be placed on an Academic Plan of Assistance (requiring daily on-campus attendance) and/or be required to participate in additional interventions and supports on-campus.

Oregon Summative Assessments are only administered at one grade level in high school, and that is 11th grade! Scholar performance on this assessment is utilized to examine individual and school growth, as well as identification of areas for improvement. We look forward to our 11th grade scholars getting to take this assignment, to show all that they have learned throughout their public education before they enter Senior year.

Testing Dates and Times:

Week 1 (May 6 - May 9): Monday through Thursday, daily from 9:10 - 10:30

Week 2 (May 13 - May 16): Monday through Thursday, daily from 9:10 - 10:30

In-person attendance and participation is required for all 11th grade scholars.

For scholars interested in applying for the Pathways Academy for the 24/25 school year, you will want to save this date! This meeting is a requirement to apply for the Pathways Academy.

This event is by invitation only and will recognize those scholars who have achieved exceptional academic excellence throughout the 23/24 school year.

Lisa Paredes has recently joined CLA as a volunteer, and is qualified to support our scholars with some weekly counseling services. We appreciate this partnership to further support our scholars' mental health and wellness!

The CLA Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is looking to recruit for the 2023-2024 school year. Thank you to those who have volunteered with our PTO in the past few years and for the time you have dedicated to our scholars!

As we move into the new year, our hope is to expand the PTO with the K-12 lens and support the Community/Family/School Relationship across our system.

Parent support is invaluable! Although they may not always act like it, your high school 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.

We encourage our parents to download the Canvas Parent App to stay connected to student assignments, grades, and announcements.
