Yes, it’s TRUE! Your student is getting ready to enter middle school at Christian Academy and that’s a milestone we want to celebrate!

We are preparing for the new school year at Christian Academy and what better way to get things flying than jumping around together at Xtremenasium Trampoline Park! Middle school will be a new experience for you as a parent and for your child too. To connect with friends and get to know each other, you and your 5th grader are invited to join us for some fun on July 23, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at Xtremenasium in Clarksville. We’ll be providing your ticket for fun “get to know you” time! Be sure to print the attached waiver, one for both your child and yourself and bring them with you. (Yes, even if you, as a parent, are not “jumping.”) Please note that a parent is required to stay for this event. Alternatively, your student may attend with another invited student whose parent will be present. Again, though, the parent staying needs a signed waiver just to be in the building. If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Lori Glaab, Admissions and Family Relations Coordinator, at [email protected].

Bring your water bottle and plenty of energy! Socks will be provided. We can’t wait to see you!

Happy summertime! We are already preparing for your children to enter the 2026-2027 school year as successful little Christian Academy Warriors! One of the ways we want to do that is by allowing you and your child the opportunity to acclimate to their new campus. So, if you are brand new to CAI elementary or entering kindergarten, we consider you “NEW!” And that means you’re invited to our summertime Popsicles on the Playground! 

Here’s what you need to know:

At each of these events, we’ll be there to welcome you right inside the elementary playground gate. For parking, let’s get some “official” practice on how to enter and exit the campus.

As you arrive on campus, if you are entering off Grant Line Road, simply continue up the drive. You will see the elementary school on your left but do not turn in. You will drive all the way around the entire building, past the new middle school on your left, past the back of the school where there is the large “commons” lot, up the drive with the high school entrance on your left and finally arriving at the elementary school. Please pull over to the right into the elementary lot and park. If you are arriving on campus through the “new” entrance, be sure to turn right and drive past the high school entrance on your left and pull over into parking across from the elementary entrance. To get to the playground, follow the sidewalk lined with PINWHEELS and you won’t miss us!

We have a couple of dates, two in the morning and one in the evening. Please click here to view these dates and RSVP.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Lori Glaab, Admissions and Family Relations Coordinator, at [email protected].

Another year is “in the books!” Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in educating and loving your children. It is time to wrap up courses and that means the return of textbooks.

You and your student will receive weekly informational emails from the Media Center in May. This email will list:

• All library books currently checked out
• Outstanding fines (incurred during the year for copies, late books, lost books, etc.)
• Textbooks and Chromebooks currently checked out to them
• Barcode numbers for each item – Please use this email to ensure the barcodes we show match the barcodes you have (located on the book’s front cover).

Textbooks are collected during the last week of school. Please remove all papers and book covers before returning. Your student’s teacher will schedule a time for the Media Center staff to check all books.

Students MUST return the textbook assigned at the beginning of the year. Any item checked out that is not returned by May 29, will incur a non-refundable fee equal to the total of the item(s) not returned and fines not paid, even if the items are returned after this date. This fee will appear on FACTS and trigger grades and transcripts to be held until the balance is paid.

Please review these important return guidelines:

1. Damaged Textbooks:
   If a textbook is returned with damage (torn pages, water damage, etc.), your FACTS account will be charged for a replacement. Please do notpurchase a replacement through Amazon – we use specific editions and bindings available at discounted rates.
2. Lost Textbooks:
   Each student must return the exact textbook assigned to them, identified by a barcode. You will be charged the replacement cost if the textbook is missing or the barcode doesn’t match. All books must be returned or paid for by May 29, to avoid a hold on academic records.
3. Clean Condition:
   Please remove all papers, bookmarks and covers before returning your textbooks.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us collect all resources in a timely and smooth manner.

Can you believe another incredible year at CAI is coming to a close? We’re so grateful for the opportunity to partner with you in educating and caring for your children. As we wrap up the school year, it’s time to prepare for final exams and return all textbooks and school materials.

• Barcode numbers for each item – Please use this email to make sure the barcodes we show checked out match the barcodes you have (located on the front cover of the book).

To help us with a smooth and timely collection, we ask for your full cooperation. Items not returned by May 29, will incur a non-refundable fee for the full replacement cost and any unpaid fines. These charges will appear on your FACTS account and will place a hold on grades and transcripts until the balance is resolved.

Textbook Return Process: Textbooks will be collected during final exam week. Before each final, students should check in their corresponding textbook at the Media Center. Books should be handed directly to Mrs. Tibbs in the library who will ensure they are properly returned.
