Community Connections

We’re having a BLAST with all the virtual clubs. Be sure to check out the Community Connections section in the Cabrillo Point Academy Family Resource Website (an email went out to all families explaining how to log-in). There you will find a How-to video, the Club Hub with all the virtual clubs we offer, as well as a spreadsheet version of the Club Hub. You can always ask your HST for details as well.
Please use the hashtag #cpavirtualclubs to tag your photos on social media because we all LOVE seeing what your kids are doing in the clubs!
If you have any questions, please contact your HST or Gina Garland: gina.garland@cabrillopointacademy.org

Homeschooling Advice
Even Homeschoolers Need Mental Health Days
"Even Homeschoolers Need Mental Health Days. When we first start homeschooling, we feel so much pressure! There are so many wonderful opportunities! But there’s the curriculum. Oh, the curriculum, that somehow needs to be “checked off,” and how are going to get it all done?
Plus, we see how much homework the neighbor’s kids are doing, our childhood friend’s amazing kids who are all over Facebook with their accomplishments, and… our kids can’t be left behind, can they?
Routines are good and healthy. Schedules work… for some families. But everyone. Yes, everyone, needs a mental health day every once in a while."

High School
Graduation Plan:
Do you have a copy of your student’s Individualized Graduation Plan (IGP)? If not, ask your HST for it! It’s a great resource for understanding your student’s path to graduation.
Reminder:
Our high school student should be enrolled in a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 40 credits each semester. Your student will need special approval to take more than 40 credits. Keep in mind that a student should take an average of 25 credits to graduate with the 200 credits needed.
Academic Integrity:
Academic Integrity is the moral code or ethical policy of academia. This includes values such as avoidance of cheating or plagiarism; maintenance of academic standards; honesty and rigor in academic work. This is a great resource for reviewing what plagiarism is with your student.
Student Support - Math Intervention
Click here for videos, tutorials, ideas, and more for all parents and their students.
Does your student need math intervention?
Step 1: Make sure they are using an evidence based curriculum (Math U See, Right Start Math, Touch Math, Teaching Textbooks, or CLICK HERE for many more adopted curriculums). Work in this curriculum daily for one hour minimum.
Step 2: Use your instructional planning amounts for a twice weekly tutor.
Step 3: What else can I suggest? Try the free programs included in the OSP. Or add OSP a la carte programs like My Math Academy, Shmoop, or Prodigy.
Step 4: If you’ve tried this for 6-10 weeks and your student is still struggling, let’s schedule a Student Study Team appointment with our school success coordinator and see what other options are available.
English Learners

Enrichment
Do you have enrichment or tech orders that were entered by the last day of school in the Spring, but that weren’t processed by July 1st? Please rest assured that we are working on a solution that will allow the EOS to automatically deduct order totals from the correct school year. Please stay tuned, as more information is coming!
Due to COVID, BookShark orders are typically being processed by the vendor within 10 - 12 days after orders are processed in the EOS.
Please note that Timberdoodle Kindergarten curriculum kits are currently on backorder.
Our payment method was recently updated to credit card for Amazon. When you submit orders for this vendor, you will be prompted to select the school credit card that’s on file (the full card number is not viewable by anyone). Please feel free to select that payment method . . . HSTs will still need to approve all orders, and they will still need to be processed by Enrichment staff.
In-person services opened again in Orange County last Wednesday, September 23rd (in-person services not yet open in Riverside or Imperial Counties)
If virtual services are being requested, please be sure to write “virtual” or “online” within each order. This will help ensure that orders are processed as quickly as possible!
