PICTURE RETAKES - Friday, October 23 @ 8:30
There were several students that were absent on regular picture day so plan on this day! For those that need retakes, here is your chance! If you already have pictures printed, turn them back in on this day and the new picture will be taken, printed and sent to school.
Technology Corner
Having Tech Issues? Now that our students and teachers have “hit their stride” in the school year, this is a reminder that if you have technology issues - chromebook issues, struggling to get the digital communication from school, or anything else tech-related, please ask for help! We have multiple staff members that can help get these issues solved. Just ask!
Reminder - devices are monitored by GoGuardian. All chromebooks which are used at school, whether owned by CLA, or personally-owned devices that are loaded with a school license, are monitored during off school hours. This is necessary for school use, since off-hours searches and activity often affect in-school usage peripherally. If students do not wish to be monitored by GoGuardian they need to use a different device than the one that is licensed by the school. Want to know more? Mrs. Stribling or Mr. Horning would be glad to talk with you!
From the Principal's Desk
Getting the plans put together for LIFE DAYS 2020 has been quite an endeavor! Not fully completed, of course, but a lot of behind the scenes discussion, planning and more have resulted in a plan for LIFE DAYS that I believe will be fruitful for the school. I ask each of you to jump in and get involved. It will be a different kind of involvement - we won’t need 50 volunteers on site like in the past, but we WILL need people to SPREAD the WORD of what Christian Life Academy means to your family… and ask for others to help support the school. Of course, volunteers will be needed, too. Looking forward to serving side-by-side with you all!
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
PLEASE DETAILS OF LIFE DAYS 2020!!!
CLA PARENTS…. Next Week EVERY FAMILY will receive their packet of information about how to GET INVOLVED with LIFE DAYS 2020. We do expect that everyone contributes in multiple ways (time, energy, passing on the word, donating, volunteering). It takes the WHOLE CLA COMMUNITY to meet the Annual goal of $50,000 for this, our biggest fundraising event. PLEASE HELP!
If you are new to CLA, this might be a LOT of information. Feel free to check in with me about it as we go along over the next four weeks.
