Parents and Students,
On Thursday night last week, I attended Twisted Christmas, a play that was written, produced and directed by CA students. On Wednesday night last week, I attended a soccer game between CA juniors and seniors with many CA students cheering them on. Many days last week, our students were recruiting the class of 2024 during middle school lunches at GMS, HMS, and CTMS. Also, last week, we had a student perform with the TCC Orchestra at the Hurst Convention Center. As i reflect on the past week, and how many opportunities our students had for leadership, performance and athletics, along with the college credit for free, I am privileged to be part of this amazing school that we have built together! Every year we are offering more pathways for academic success and more extra-curricular activities for our students. CA has created a promotional video that we are using to let people know about the great things we are doing. Take a look at who we are now, and remember the BEST is yet to come!
Happy Holidays from the entire Collegiate Academy staff to all our Phoenix Families!

TSI Testing Policy
Next week students who have not yet passed all 3 TSI tests will receive a hard copy of the TSI Testing policy for the 2019-2020 school. This policy will be distributed in the Pathways classes. We are asking parents and guardians to please review the hard copy of the testing policy with their student, sign it, and send it back to school with your student. Signed policies may be given to your student’s Pathways teacher. The policy will help students focus on the tests that they need at different stages of their associate degree. If you have any questions about your student’s progress in completing the Reading, Writing, or Math TSI test, please email Kristinia Haney at kristinia.haney@gcisd.net

Notes from the Attendance office:
Contact Amy Silva-Adams for Attendance questions.
817-515-6775
If a student must be absent from school a parent/guardian should call attendance or send an email each day to report the absence. I will also accept a note from the parent/guardian the day the student returns to school.
If a student is missing for a doctor's appointment, it is very important to always get a note from the doctor and present it when signing into school or returning the following day. You or your physician may email the doctor's note directly to me.
