Basketball back at CCA!
Basketball season is here, and sign-ups are now open. Please register here. This year, coaching will be Mr. Loomis for the boys' team and Ms. Yamauchi for the girls' team. Please remember, as with volleyball, because basketball is an indoor sport, we will require masks for practice and games.
We are excited to have basketball back at CCA.

Takeaways from October's PIN presentation and What's Next
Below are a few great takeaways from the October CCSD PIN meeting from our PTO PIN representative:
- CCSD PIN Topic for October: Success? Planning, Implementing, and Achieving Goals
- TAKEAWAY 1 - Executive Functioning CAN be developed and learned though it takes commitment and instruction to learn.
- TAKEAWAY 2 - A strong foundation of basic needs must be met in order to develop and access executive function skills. These basic needs include: sleep, diet, routine, and movement.
- TAKEAWAY 3 - Movement is critical for children with executive functioning challenges. Cardiovascular exercise increases blood flow to brain areas that impact memory, attention, and self-regulation. Studying after exercise increases comprehension and retention, which means remembering more for longer.

Attention 8th Graders - Colorado Early College


Hello 8th grade Families!
My name is Mary Bain, I am the marketing coordinator for Colorado Early Colleges in Castle Rock, Inverness, and Parker! We have several students from Cherry Creek Academy that are thriving at Colorado Early Colleges (CEC). CEC is a network of public, charter schools where students earn a 2-year college degree or industry certificate for free in high school. At CEC, we offer accessible, flexible, and individualized education. Students are placed into classes based on their Accuplacer assessment scores, academic abilities, and career interests, not based on their grade-level.
I would love to be a resource for you all as you start to think about the right high school fit. I encourage you all to attend one of the information opportunities linked below. These opportunities are a great chance to get to meet with our leadership team, learn about our award-winning school model, and understand our school culture.
I hope to meet you all soon. I am happy to answer any questions you have about Colorado Early Colleges or high school fit, so please don’t hesitate to send me an email. Thanks!
