TRANSITIONS

Bro. Leon Clark, our Technology Teacher, has accepted a full-time position in the technology field and will be leaving us after the winter holiday. While we were saddened to know he will not be a teacher at CCA, we were happy to hear that this is a significant and positive development for one of our CCA family members. We were heartened to learn that Mr. Clark may still be available one day per week to teach classes until we get a qualified teacher and acclimate them to our special CCA needs. Children were informed of this today, at a special meeting in the chapel at 3:00 pm. Mr. Clark plans to meet with individual homerooms to say goodbye and to answer children’s’ questions. Parents please know that CCA will work hard to find and hire someone as outstanding as Bro. Clark has been for us.  If you know of an IT professional or former technology teacher who may be interested in a permanent, part-time position here at CCA, please ask them to call the principal OR to submit their resume and completed application (found on our website www.colonialca.org) via email to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE, Part 2
Parents, please examine the attached medical form, the “Physician’s Order”. This completed form is required in order for CCA staff to dispense ANY form of medication to your child. Whether prescribed, OTC (over-the-counter), temporary (cough syrup) or permanent (asthma meds, etc.). We cannot administer any medications without this form on file, completed and signed by both parent and physician. This is especially important if you already have medicines in our office. None will be administered after today if the necessary documentation is missing!!! The completed, signed form may be faxed to our office at 410-521-7193.
