Re-enrollment for 2021-2022 is still open!
Enrollment is open and we are thankful for so many families that have already sent in paperwork to enroll for next year. THE DEADLINE for discounted registration fee has now passed, but you can still enroll and tell friends! We will also be continuing to offer individualized visits to new prospective families. The best advertisement for the school is word of mouth, so we ask that you pass this information on to friends and family that may be interested in a Christian Life Academy education! And, of course, get your family registered for next year….
From The Office:
Teacher Appreciation Week is May 3 - May 7th. I will be sending out more information and sign up form reflecting our needs for this busy week! It will be a great week for the teachers and the kids!
Scrip Program: there is an upcoming event on April 29th & 30th with additional bonuses. This will be the last time to order gift cards to be included in this year's “distribution”. I will be doing the calculations the first week of May and will send out an “Account Update” email showing your scrip rebate, tuition, lunch, and any other balances or credits.

Standardized testing
Coming up in the first week of May, CLA will be administering standardized tests for our students, as we look at the overall progress as it relates to our classrooms, the effect of remote learning, and so many other factors. We ask that families and students take this testing seriously, but also remember that a test never defines a student, but allows staff to teach effectively! We also use the results to help plan content for classrooms. If you have any questions, please feel free to talk with the staff leader for your child’s age group - Mrs. Bowman (K-4), Mrs. Young (5-8), Mrs. Stribling (9-12) or Mr. Horning.
From The Principal’s Desk…
In our “Follow Jesus” theme, this week we discussed “denying self.” Isn’t that a very counter-culture type of thought!? Our world says “look out for yourself.” Jesus says “put others first.” And in reality, that means putting JESUS first. I pray that as families we can encourage our children in following Jesus, even if it is against our popular culture. As a CLA family, we can all work together in this mind set! Thank you for your partnership with our school community!
In Christ,
Mr. Horning
