CCA SUNDAY

This Sunday, April 20 th is “CCA Sunday” here at Colonial Baptist Church . It is a special, annual celebration day when our school is showcased for the benefit of the church from which CCA was “birthed.” At the 8 am service, our children will sing and lead in certain parts of the worship service. The 11:00 am service will feature the first showing of our own CCA DVD, featuring the more prominent aspects of our school’s educational program. Please come and support CCA!

ACATION STATION ORDERS

By popular demand, we have brought back the Vacation Station Summer Workbooks. As advertised, the workbooks sharpen skills and help prevent boredom with just a page or two each day and are designed to challenge with activities linked to the grade your child will attend in September. We need your order returned to us by Friday April 24 th. The cost is $20.00 and includes the tax noted on the flier’s cost of “$19 + tax”

Our program currently is staffed for and serves approximately 42 daily children PLUS an unpredictable number of “Drop-ins”. State law and health code mandates require us to maintain a certain pupil-to-caretaker ratio. Whenever a staffer leaves the area to answer the door, take a child to the lavatory, get food from the kitchen, etc., that ratio is affected and we are not fully “covered”. An increased number of staff was the answer, with the expense covered by the “drop-in” payments. However, there have been too many parents who arrived late but have not paid AND parents who do not sign up but whose child shows up, throwing off our mandated ratio. Thus, we regret we cannot accept additional, non-daily children for half-day aftercare.

IF YOU ARE NOT A DAILY, 5-DAYS PER WEEK AFTERCARE CLIENT, YOU MUST MAKE ALTERNATE ARRANGEMENTS AND PICK UP YOUR CHILD AT THE 12:30 DISMISSAL TIME ON OUR NEXT HALF-DAY, FRIDAY, MAY 9 TH.

As always, we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
