Open House at CLA
Next week on March 3rd, CLA will be hosting their Open House event. Based on the most recent Board of Education Meeting, the guidelines for students, staff, and visitors is that masks are recommended, not required to be worn. To limit the number of students and family members in each classroom at one time, we have assigned two different times for families to attend our Open House.
6:00-6:30 pm - ALL AM Early Childhood and ECDEC classes
6:45-7:15 pm - ALL PM Early Childhood and ECDEC classes
6:00-7:15 pm - ACES/MN Classes
We ask that families attend during their assigned times to help reduce large crowds in each classroom. Thank you in advance for your support.
