Dear CPA Families,
I am incredibly grateful for the support shown during National Principal Month. It is a joy to serve as your principal and to work together with each of you in supporting our Cadets. Becoming a principal was rooted in my passion teaching and learning, shaping young minds and helping guide students toward a successful future. Equally important to me is supporting our teachers, assisting them in their professional journey through instructional coaching, and creating a positive and enriching learning environment for all.
As we wrap up the first quarter, I’m excited for the work we’ll continue to accomplish together. Please join us on November 12 for our Principal Conversations, where we’ll share new updates on our master schedule and address any questions you may have.
Thank you so much for attending our recent PTO meeting! Your involvement and support are invaluable to our school community. Please keep an eye out for upcoming PTO nominations and voting—your voice matters, and we look forward to your continued participation.
Here's To A Great Week Ahead,
Ms. Lattimore
Character Day Festivities
Dear CPA Families,
We are excited to announce our Character Day Parade on Oct. 31, 2024. This is a fun opportunity for our students to showcase their creativity and love for their favorite characters. Parents of PreK-5 students are welcome to join us outdoors to pass out treats as our students parade in their character attire. If the weather does not cooperate, we will move the parade inside, creating a festive route through the hallways of CPA.
Students in grades 6-8 are also welcome to participate by dressing up as characters from books, movies, or historical figures. Please check your child’s Seesaw account for any special assignments related to Character Day.
To ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment, we ask that you follow these Character Day Parade/Dance guidelines:
- No look-alike weapons (swords, guns, etc.) as part of costumes.
- No masks that cover the entire face—students’ faces must be visible.
- Makeup or hair coloring should be applied at home. These items are not permitted in school
- Costumes must be school-appropriate and not overly scary or violent.
- Comfortable footwear is required, as students will be walking in the parade.
- Be mindful of weather conditions and dress accordingly if we are outdoors.
Costumes cannot interfere with daily responsibilities, both in and out of the class. Costumes should be comfortable enough to wear for the school day.
If a student’s costume is found to be inappropriate, she/he will be asked to remove the costume.
We are looking forward to a fun and safe event that celebrates creativity and community spirit!
We can’t wait to see all of our students’ amazing character outfits!
