Parents, please join me in congratulating the 5th grade team of Ms. Cecily Cooper Ms. Joan Alexis and the CCA 5th graders as we proudly report to you that as of this writing, 100% of the fifth graders—a total of 8—who applied for admission to the Baltimore County Middle Magnet School programs at Sudbrook and Deer Park Middle Schools either were accepted (6 children) or are on the waiting list (2 children) at these prestigious public schools!  When you consider the stringent admission criteria and standards set for these institutions, this is indeed a phenomenal accomplishment!  Also, we believe that an equally favorable report is in store as we await the results of the remaining students who applied for Chapelgate and Liberty Christian schools. Again, kudos and congratulations to Ms. Cooper and our stellar 5th grade class of 2008!

READY? SET? REGISTERED?
Tomorrow, Friday, March 14th is the established timeline when registration fees for all retuning CCA students are due. Please remember that seating is limited and that only your payment secures a seat for the 2008-2009 school year.  Please don’t miss this important deadline so that we may begin finalizing our enrollment for next year.

SOME FACTS ABOUT FACTS, (Inc.)
Q: I got a “NSF” return. Does the FACTS, Inc. tuition management company go back the next day and attempt another withdrawal?
A: NO. FACTS, Inc. collects TUITION ONLY on the 5th or 20th of the month. Therefore, no attempt is made to collect tuition until the following 5th or 20th—whichever is next after your scheduled date. However, FACTS, Inc. does attempt to collect the NSF fee  ($25) on the next business day following a failed (NSF) withdrawal. They do not wait for the next tuition-cycle collection date to attempt to collect the $25 fee.
