CAI National Honor Society Clothes Closet Accepting Donations and Requests

The CAI National Honor Society would like to remind families about the CAI Clothes Closet. For families that have either outgrown or have unneeded school uniforms, we would greatly appreciate your donations to the Clothes Closet. Additionally, families who want to, can pick out needed items of clothing free of charge. Donations can be dropped off at either the elementary or high school/middle school front desks. To organize a time to select new pieces of uniform, please email Mr. Lorigan at wlorigan@caschools.us or Mrs. Rehnberg at lrehnberg@caschools.us.

REMINDER: Register for Spring Sports Today!

As the spring season approaches, we just want to remind our CAI athletes that registration for spring sports is already open in FACTS Family Portal under Forms.

At this time, we continue to reevaluate each upcoming season and all signs point to having a spring sports season. So, we are moving forward with the planning and scheduling of the season. If you haven’t already registered and are planning to have a child participate, please be sure to complete the registration TODAY! It will help us with forming schedules, practice calendars and hiring coaches if we know how many kids we have planning to participate.

A couple reminders in order to participate:

  • All athletes must be registered for their sport in FACTS Family Portal as this step puts you on the coach’s roster where you will get more information specific to your sport.
  • All paperwork must be completed before participation (Contact Heather McDonner at hmcdonner@caschools.us if you need any of these forms. If your child participated in a CAI Fall or Winter Sport, these should already be on file):
    • Returners (those with a physical on file from last year) – Health History Update and Consent and Release, Concussion/Sudden Cardiac Arrest Form, COVID-19 Waiver
    • New to Athletics: IHSAA Physical Packet (all pages), Concussion/Sudden Cardiac Arrest Form, COVID-19 Waiver

While things may look a little different, we want to do our part so the kids can play this spring as well! We will continue to provide you with information as we finalize those details. We ask for your patience and flexibility as we do so.

Athletic Fee Reminder (will be billed after season begins):
4th-8th Grade – $175
9th-12th Grade – $225

Ms. Richards is ALL IN!

Thank you for all you do for our school. As you have heard many times, the cost of tuition and fees simply does NOT cover the entire cost to educate our students. That is why we have an annual campaign called our ALL IN! campaign and this year has been like no other in our history. We need your help more than ever before to raise the resources needed to operate our schools. The reason we have a $400,000 need is because we strive to keep tuition costs reasonable and affordable to ALL IN! our community.

As you think about how your family will participate in this year’s ALL IN! campaign, please think about all the great teachers we have across all our campuses. Here is an example from our Indiana Campus, Kristi Richards.

“She has gone WAY above and beyond duty to make sure the students can benefit from special area classes. She comes up with unique ways and systems to make things work for the kids. Because of their traveling nature, they are exposed to more students and are at more of a health risk in these times. I really truly admire the huge effort she has made on behalf of our kids!”

You can give online or send in your pledge card when you are ready. Please help us meet the needs of our school. We are asking you to please be “ALL IN!

Thank you and God bless you and our school!

 

Priority Admission for Siblings of Currently Enrolled Students for the 2021-2022 School Year

What an unusual year this has been for all of us. We remain thankful that you are a part of the Christian Academy family and we want to continue to serve your family well. Your currently enrolled students will receive instructions regarding reenrollment for the 2021-2022 school year in early January 2021. Additionally, we would like to remind you that if you have a child in your family that is not currently enrolled and will be a new incoming student at Christian Academy for the 2021-2022 school year please submit an online 2021-2022 application as soon as possible. It is always our desire to give siblings of current students priority consideration and now is the time to submit your application for the upcoming school year. If you have already submitted an application, we are thankful you desire to continue our partnership! Also, if your child is currently in our Junior Academy PK4, it is time to submit an application for kindergarten.

Admissions testing for new students who have applied to enter grades 6-12 for the 2021-2022 school year is currently being scheduled. Upon receiving your application, we will contact you to confirm a testing date for your child. Admissions testing for students who have applied to enter kindergarten and grades 1–5 for the 2021-2022 school year will be in January. There will be an additional admissions testing date for students entering grades 6-12 in January as well. We will send scheduling information for January admissions testing dates in early January. Admissions testing is not required to enter our Junior Academy.

We are thankful to already have many new applications on file for the 2021-2022 school year, so it is important for you to move forward with submitting your application if you have a child in your family that is not currently enrolled and attending Christian Academy. You will find application information on our website at caschools.us/application-process.

Thank you for making Christian Academy your school of choice and for entrusting your children to us. Should questions arise, please contact me by email at lbaechtel@caschools.us or phone at (502) 753-4590. It would be my pleasure to serve you.

May you experience the joy and blessing of the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons in a meaningful way!

Mrs. Watson is ALL IN!

Thank you for all you do for our school. As we talk about our ALL IN! Campaign this year, we must realize this year has been like no other in our history. We need your help more than ever before to raise the resources needed to operate our schools. The reason we have a $400,000 need is because we strive to keep tuition costs reasonable and affordable to ALL IN! our community.

As you think about how your family will participate in this year’s ALL IN! campaign, please think about all the great teachers we have across all our campuses. Here is just one example, Mrs. Erin Watson at CAI.

“She is an outstanding and encouraging 6th grade ELA teacher, but beyond that, she does an amazing job connecting with her students to make them feel loved and empowered. She has a gift for inspiring middle school students, even the rough and rowdy boys, to reach deeper levels of learning and achievement. She is a critical asset to helping students transition into middle school successfully. In what could be an overwhelming and intimidating experience she brings connection, humor and relationships.”

 

You can give online or send in your pledge card when you are ready. Please help us meet the needs of our school. We are asking you to please be “ALL IN!

Thank you and God bless you and our school!
