A Message from the Director
Parents and Students,
Our students showed up, stepped up and finished the first week of school PhoenixFierce! CA if off to their best school year ever! The class of 2020 could possibly have over 90% earn an associates degree, over 30 juniors have committed to studying after school for the PSAT test, our sophomores are taking dual US History, which will give them an easier path to an associates degree, and our freshmen are close to 50% TSI Reading met! Our students are striving for excellence and creating their own personal path to success! Parents/guardians, encourage your students to keep up the good work!
Reminders:
Afternoon Pick-up
If you are picking up a CA student by car in the afternoon, please turn left (north) when entering the parking lot and park in the area in front of the TCC vacant warehouse. Student car riders can exit the building and proceed down the ramp to the right (north) and walk to your car without moving in between busses. This will keep everyone safe! :-)
CA Open House September 23
Parents, please check-out the CA Open House and 5 Year Celebration section and sign-up for dinner! We need to know how many to plan for by Sept. 6!
Together we will make a difference!
