2008/2009 School Year

January 15, 2009 – Track Your Child’s Academic Progress Online Through Fast Direct:

At the start of the school year, we began using an online system for grading and reporting called Fast Direct. The service we purchased allows parents to view their child’s progress online as teachers update the grades from week to week. Parents must register on the website at www.fastdir.com/cca in order to gain access to their child’s academic data. The data you view is kept 100% confidential and only accessible to the parents who have a personal login ID and password. Please feel free to call our school office if you have any questions. You can register online yourself or the school office can help you with the activation process if you prefer.

Students will assemble there between classes from 10:00 until 11:30 a.m. On God Bless America day, students and staff may wear jeans and shirts that are patriotic in design or red, white and blue colors. T-shirts are acceptable. Jeans are not to be baggy or too tight. Jeans with holes are also not acceptable. Girls’ tops should be modest and not low-cut or tight. Clothing with wording or symbols that could be considered controversial or offensive should not be worn. Shoes may be any regularly approved style as noted in the guidelines in our handbook.
