From the Desk of Mr. Ruedinger
We celebrated our first school Mass on Tuesday and it was wonderful to 100% of the students dressed in their Mass attire on the first day! Thank you to all the new families that attended the "New Parent Meeting" on Wednesday night. These meetings are designed to assist in the understanding of our school's policies and procedures to allow for a smooth transition into our school community.
The middle school hallway has been kept cleaner this year by having the students in grades 6-8 partner with us in keeping their back packs, books, and clothes off the floor. Hooks have been hung on each locker where the back packs are hung when not in use. Thank you to the students for taking ownership of their hallway.
Unfortunately, the CCA Volleyball Tournament scheduled for September 20 & 21 has been cancelled due to not enough teams participating.
We have added a new "Parenting in the 21st Century" section. This section will include professional resources that I have come across in my professional development that might assist parents as they raise children. Hopefully, these will come in handy for your family.
The busing on Wednesdays will be delayed. The bus will pick up students from CCA at 3:15 pm even though the early dismissal is at 2:20 pm. Students taking the bus will be supervised in the resource center. Please plan accordingly.

MAP TESTING
MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing for grades K - 8 will be held the week of September 23. MAP is a computerized adaptive test which helps teachers, parents, and administrators improve learning for all students and make informed decisions to promote a child’s academic growth. All students in grades K-8 will be tested to track their academic growth. Please do not schedule any appointments for your children during this time. It is important that the students are in attendance and well-rested, so they can do their best on the tests. Thank you for your cooperation.
Picture Day
Mark your calendar; Picture Day is Thursday, September 26. Harmann Studios will be taking your child’s picture (no order form or money needed at that time). Harmann sends home a preview of two proofs; you choose one and return the order form with your payment. If need be, picture retake day is Wednesday, October 30.

BINGO
This school year we will run 8 regular Bingo Sessions and 1 SPECIAL HOLIDAY Bingo Session.
Each family will be responsible to work one regular bingo session, donate to one regular bingo session and participate in some way for the SPECIAL HOLIDAY Bingo Session.
Each grade will be assigned the session that they are to work and donate. You will then have the opportunity to choose the time slot or donation item of your choice. All slots must be filled by September 15th, 2019. If at that time, you have not signed up or have not volunteered in other areas, you might be assigned a slot for bingo. Remember that volunteers need to be 18 years or older and can be members of your family or friends.
We are looking to have 100% of our CCA families volunteer at CCA this year!

CCA Student Referral Program
The purpose of the Student Referral Program is to reward current Christ Child Academy families for increasing and sustaining enrollment at Christ Child Academy.
A referral award will be paid to a current Christ Child Academy family who successfully recruits and/or refers a new student to Christ Child Academy within the guidelines. Please go the the forms link for more information.
Safeguarding All God's Family
If parents or grandparents plan to participate in field trips, work in the lunchroom, coach, or help out at school, you must attend a Safeguarding All God’s Family training through the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. You must register on-line at www.archmil.org and indicate you are associated with Christ Child Academy. If you have not previously been trained, now is a great time to attend a session.
