Cherry Creek Academy is excited to announce November as "Character Card Month"! During the month of November students who earn a character card for displaying an Eagle Trait will be entered in a drawing to contribute to painting a mural in the gym.

We are excited for another great month of Eagle Traits at Cherry Creek Academy!

The annual school vision and hearing screening will be taking place for Gr. K, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 on Thurs. Nov. 14th. If your child wears glasses, please make sure they are wearing them on the day of the screenings. If you would like to opt your child out of these screenings, please email Nurse Karen at klewis5@cherrycreekacademy.org.

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!

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!

Dear Parents of 8th Grade students,

Cherry Creek Academy 8th graders will tour the Cherry Creek Innovation Campus (CCIC) on December 10, 2024. The permission to participate must be filled out by Tuesday, December 3, 2024 in order for your child to attend.

Open now in its sixth year, the CCIC is a stand-alone Career & Technical Education (CTE) facility accessible to CCSD high school students in 10th through 12th grades. With a curriculum rooted in real-world skills and trade certifications ranging from computer sciences to aviation to health and wellness, this facility offers students a new kind of bridge to college and careers in high demand.

Along with CTE courses at all CCSD home high schools, the CCIC expands the district's commitment to preparing students for the academic and professional demands of modern careers.

The CCIC currently offers the following Pathways, all featuring college credit, career certifications, and industry-grade equipment:

· Advanced Manufacturing (Clean manufacturing in metals, wood, etc.)

· Business Services (Project Management and Entrepreneurial Classes)

· Health & Wellness (Pharmacy Tech, Nursing Assistants, Behavioral Health, and Physical Therapy)

· Hospitality & Tourism (Event/Resort Management and Culinary)

· Future Educators (Teaching as a profession)

· Infrastructure Engineering (Framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, etc.)

· IT & STEAM (Cybersecurity and Product Design/Fabrication)

· Transportation (Automotive, Aviation & Flight)

This field trip allows all 8th-grade students to tour the facility, ask questions, and begin thinking about if and how the CCIC may play a role in their high school path. There is no cost to students and transportation will be provided by district buses. We are looking forward to this opportunity for our students to see this nationally recognized campus!
