Let CCA Know!
We want to hear from you! What is going well? What questions, concerns, or comments do you have? Interested in joining a committee or getting involved some other way? Please let us know here and we will work to address your questions in upcoming newsletters and/or in 1:1 communication. Fill out this form to Let CCA Know!
Monday Munchies Sign up!
Earn volunteer hours by providing snacks to the CCA staff every Monday. Store bought items equal one volunteer hour, and homemade items count as 2 volunteer hours. Sign up one week before you will bring snacks. We love taking care of our teachers and staff!
PTO Spirit Squad Store
Parents and alumni, get ready to show off your school spirit with our new spirit wear! You can shop the preorder at Spirit Squad Cherry Creek Academy and choose to have items delivered directly to your home or delivered CCA where the PTO will coordinate sending items home with your student. Hurry, this closes on August 18, 2024 so get your orders in before it’s too late!

Create Your New Volunteer Account!
Dear CCA Volunteers,
On Monday, July 1, 2024, we wiped our Volunteer Database (Volgistics) to keep it up-to-date. Please create your new 2024-2025 school year account by visiting this link: Volgistics Create a New Account. Please only create ONE account per household, as we are unable to link individual accounts.
If you have earned any summer hours, please add them to your new 2024-2025 Volunteer account in Volgistics.
As a reminder, all CCA families are required to volunteer 40 hours each school year. Single parents are required to volunteer 20 hours each school year. CCA will update each individual registered in Volgistics as a Volunteer at the end of each quarter. This report will help you track your volunteer hours throughout the school year. Be sure to select electronic emails in volgistics to receive these reminders.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at rbrooks@cherrycreekacademy.org.
Thank you for volunteering!

Director of Communications
