The Call
Sept 9-13, 2024
Dear Colin Powell Academy Family,
I want to take a moment to continue to express my deepest gratitude for your ongoing support throughout the enrollment process. Your patience and collaboration have truly made a difference as we navigate this busy time together. I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the PGCPS Pupil Accounting team and our Central Office Staff for their unwavering assistance with office calls, enrollment questions, early dismissals, and classroom needs. We are so appreciative of their dedication to ensuring a smooth start to the school year.
This week, we are excited to kick off with our first Back-to-School Night for grades 2-5 on Wednesday, September 11, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Families will gather in our school cafeteria at 6:00 PM for a brief welcome, followed by grade-level presentations. This is a great opportunity to learn more about your child’s curriculum and hear about upcoming CPA events.
Additionally, I would like to personally invite you to our Chat and Chew on Tuesday, September 10, from 9:00 to 10:00 AM. Bring your coffee or tea, and join us virtually for an informal conversation where we can connect and discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
We look forward to seeing you soon and continuing this school year with strong support and partnership.
Sincerely
Ms. Lattimore
Principal Chat N Chew (Virtual)

CPA Car Riders & Walkers
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We understand that our car rider dismissal line can be lengthy. To help expedite the process, we kindly ask that all families display their car number tag clearly. Your child will be escorted to your vehicle promptly. Please note that parking along Fort Washington Road and showing your tag at the front door is not permitted.
To ensure our dismissal process runs smoothly, we need your consistent support.
For the week of September 9-13,2024
- Car riders will be dismissed at 3:00 PM.
- Walkers will be dismissed at 3:10PM.
Parents of walkers, please meet your child at the steps alongside Fort Washington Road. If a parent is not present for PreK-2 students, we will escort your child back to the main office.
We also ask that you do not call your child and instruct them to walk off school grounds to meet you. This is a significant safety concern and disrupts our dismissal procedures.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
Our early dismissal cut off is 1:30pm. Parents, please note that continuous early dismissal pick-ups may result in your child missing daily instruction.
