Christ Child Academy Newsletter
September 5, 2019
From the Desk of Mr. Ruedinger
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 first school Mass is Tuesday, Sept 10th at 8:25 am. All are welcome celebrate in this weekly Mass. Students are to wear Mass attire on Tuesdays and any off-site field trips throughout the school year. CCA attire may be purchased on Land's End.
The busing on Wednesdays will be delayed. The bus will not pick up students at 3:00 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.
Please remember to turn in all forms to the school office by Friday, September 6th.
Parenting in the 21st Century
Getting back into the new school year and on to regular sleep patterns is critical.
Forty percent of teens say that most school nights they get less than seven hours of sleep and there's a strong association between more screen time and less sleep. Since 2012, when the prevalence of teens owning smartphones started to increase, the number of hours teens sleep has steeply decreased.
Leslie Walker-Harding, pediatrician and chair of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington (who is also in Screenagers) recently states, “Sometimes a sleep-deprived teenager will appear just like they have anxiety, clinical anxiety or clinical depression and its sleep.”
Click the link below to explore how to get a conversation started with your kids and teens about good sleep.

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 chosen your slots, you will be assigned slots and you will be responsible for those slots/donations (finding your own replacement if needed). 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 Bingo 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.
A local session is being offered: Monday, September 9th at St. John the Baptist, 115 Plymouth Street, Plymouth beginning at 6:00 pm.
