NEXT WEEK

SENIOR DAY
Friday is Senior Day! We look forward to our Senior Chapel and hearing about the accomplishments and future plans of our class of 2026. CCA is proud of our 12 graduates!
TESTING RESULTS
We are waiting on Iowa Basics to send us the testing scores for grades 3 through 7. We anticipate they will arrive any day now. As soon as we receive them, they will be emailed via Jupiter. Once you receive your student’s scores, save them and upload them to your Step-Up account. This must be done by May 31st. All scores will be received in plenty of time to meet the Step-Up deadline.
CCA EMPLOYMENT
We are hiring for the 2026-27 school year! We are looking for an upper school math and science teacher, an elementary teacher, and an elective coordinator. Visit our website for more information: https://www.discovercca.org/employment/

ELECTIVE TEACHERS
Do you or anyone you know have a talent or skill you’d like to share with our lower school students as an elective teacher next year? Perhaps you have a special interest in art, music, cooking, coding, gardening, chess, storytelling, crafting, or something unique. We’d love to hear from you! No formal teaching experience is needed–just a willingness to share and inspire. Email Tricia Urbanek at turbanek@discovercca.org for more information.
