We encourage EVERYONE to take care of registration by March 31, which saves $50 on your registration fee. Any questions, please contact Mr. Horning!
Registering early not only saves YOU some money, it also allows for CLA to better plan for next school year, including our extra-curricular activities, as we attempt to improve what we can offer for students and families! Early registration allows for better opportunities and planning. Get signed up today! If you have re-enrolled online, don’t forget to pay the registration fee by March 31 with a check to the school office!
Reminders - Communication, Attendance, Sign in and Sign out!
We want to make sure that our communication is clear, and that we have good records of student presence in and out of the buildings! With this in mind, please be sure to do the following:
When your child is absent, please contact the school office by 8:30 am and also contact the teacher directly, especially if you are wishing to pick up work for your child. Our teachers will need time (and cannot stop their work/classes) to get absent work together.
When you arrive or depart school at any time outside of the regular school arrival/dismissal times, we need to have students signed in and signed out, so we have good records of their presence in the building. This means parents must come to the office (main building) or front door (HS building) to sign in / sign out students! Please do not simply drop them off when they arrive after 8:30 am. We need you to sign them in!
When making appointments, we request that you do your best to make these appointments early in the day or late in the day so that student attendance in school is maximized. Even better, find a “no school” day for appointments!
Attached with this Lion Tales - a special giving opportunity - the CLA FORWARD CHALLENGE!
Look for details about how you and many friends of CLA can partner together this March in support of the school. Pass the word along to others who share our love for the mission of Christian Life Academy. This is a great time to give and encourage others to join in. Thank you in advance for getting the word out!
Did you know? State Farm and Caterpillar employees can help CLA…
State Farm employees, as well as Caterpillar employees and retirees, are able to take advantage of matching funds from their companies to benefit Christian Life Academy. Deadlines come quickly, as this needs to be done by January 31 for Caterpillar. Caterpillar link is www.caterpillar.com/matching-gifts. This is an annual option, so you may look into this for 2024 also. State Farm has both a “good neighbor” program (volunteer hours equals a company donation) and a donor matching program throughout the year. If you want to take advantage of this, Mr. Horning or Mrs. Westley are glad to help!
From the Principal's Desk
I have been doing some preparation for our CLA Community Easter Service coming up on March 21. I’m so excited to share this celebration and remembrance with our school community. I’m ready to say “thank you” again to the Lord for His sacrifice, and to proclaim “He is risen” as a testimony to the world. I’m also amazed that we are already into March, which means the end of another school year is getting closer. What a joy to share with your families and to be on this mission together. We’ll soon celebrate the promotion of 8th graders, the graduation of seniors, and the excitement of a summer break. The Lord has been faithful, and you all have been wonderful partners. May the Lord continue to be praised!
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
