Has your child outgrown their uniforms? PTO is taking your uniform donations for the used uniform sale in the fall. Please bring any unwanted uniform items the week of May 8th and drop them off with the teachers in the drop off line.

8th Grade Class of 2023 T-shirts
We want to celebrate our 8th Graders!
To celebrate 8th grade graduation, we have teamed up to collect signatures from every student. We are working with a vendor to create a design including their signatures in the form of "Class of 2023."
We wanted to find out how many parents and guardians are interested in purchasing shirts for their graduates. The price is $15 per shirt. Drop off cash or checks made payable to CCA to Mr. Leins by the end of tutorial on Friday, May 12th.
Feel free to email zleins@cherrycreekacademy.org if you have questions on the shirts or questions about the costs. Thank you and have a great day!

Regis Information for 7th Graders
Dear Cherry Creek Academy 7th Grade Families,
It is hard to believe spring is here and summer is around the corner. As you begin to explore life beyond Cherry Creek Academy, we would love the opportunity to introduce you to Regis Jesuit High School and invite you to our campus. We hope you can join us for two upcoming events for prospective students who will be entering 8th grade this fall. Below you will find more details about these events and how to register!
Practice High School Placement Exam “HSPT”
Saturday, April 29, 8:30-11:30am - registration is now open
The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a required component for admissions to Regis Jesuit. The official exam will take place on Saturday, December 2, 2023. Regis Jesuit is offering an opportunity for current 7th grade students to take a full practice version of the exam. Students will learn how they compare to other 7th grade students across the nation, gain important information on academic strengths and weaknesses, and proceed into 8th grade with a strong sense of focus and readiness.
Class of 2028 Carnival
Monday, June 5, 5:30-8:00pm - registration is required and will open May 1
The Class of 2028 Carnival will be coupled with a service opportunity and is the perfect way to showcase Regis Jesuit’s community.

All summer-fun baskets and proceeds from In-N-Out will go toward the In-N-Out Foundation and the Tennyson Center for Children. This event is free and only for prospective students who are registered and entering 8th grade this fall. We are excited to bring together students considering Regis Jesuit for high school to serve others and build community!
Regis Jesuit Online Admissions Account and Registration
You can register for both events, as well as future admissions events, via an online admissions account. Once you create an online admissions account, we will also be able to communicate directly with you about the admissions process and all upcoming events for prospective families.
