Dear CPA Families,
As we enter November, I want to extend my gratitude to each of you for your ongoing support and engagement. This month, we’re embracing our core value of generosity—finding ways to give our best to each other and our school community.
We’re also excited to announce that our new master schedule will be implemented on November 11. This change is designed to support both students and staff in new ways, and we invite you to join our Principal Conversations to learn more about how our schedule and CPA initiatives.
With the first quarter behind us, we look forward to celebrating our students’ achievements. Report cards will be released on November 18, and we invite you to our virtual Awards Assemblies to recognize our students. The assembly for grades K-7 will take place on Monday, November 25, and our 8th-grade assembly will be held on Tuesday, November 26. Please check out SeeSaw for grade level times and Zoom link.
Thank you for being part of the CPA community.

Multilingual Families: Families of multilingual students have received a letter in both Spanish and English. This letter should be returned with the parents' preference indicating whether they would like their child to continue in the ELD program, or not, along with the parent's signature.
Please note: Letters should be returned to the ELD teacher assigned to each grade level. I have also attached a sample envelope and letter for reference.
Las familias de estudiantes multilingües han recibido una carta por correo tanto en español como en inglés. Esta carta debe devolverse con la preferencia : Si o No, de los padres indicando si les gustaría que su hijo continúe o no en el programa ELD (Programa de Desarrollo del Idioma Ingles). La carta debe ser firmada y devuelta al maestro de ELD asignado a cada grado.
Mission: The Henrietta Lacks Legacy Group (HLLG) exists to protect, preserve, and promote the
legacy of Henrietta Lacks and her singular contributions to modern medicine. It also exists to serve
as a clearinghouse for activities that extend Lack’s legacy and the history of Turner Station,
Maryland, where Lacks resided at the time of her death. The essay and video contests support the
organization’s mission.
1. Eligibility: The competition is open to all students enrolled in middle and high school
(grades six through twelve). It is also open to home-schooled students in each of the
categories.
2. Prompt: Henrietta Lacks was resident of Turner Station, Maryland, who died in 1951 of
cervical cancer, and whose cells (known as the HeLa cells) have been used to develop
vaccines, drugs, and treatments for diseases including polio and COVID-19, among other
scientific achievements. Based upon this information students should:
a. Write an essay explaining the contributions made by Henrietta Lacks, and why she
should be celebrated as a national public figure. (Middle school)
b. Compose a multiple paragraph essay that reflects on the singular contributions of
Henrietta Lacks to modern science, medicine, and research and why it is so
important to remember her legacy today. (High school)
c. Create a video (of images, interviews, etc.), reflecting on the singular
contributions of Henrietta Lacks to modern science, medicine, and research and
why it is so important to remember her legacy today. Use your creativity. (Open
to both middle and high school students)
