have everything from Camp Creative to basketball
camps. Space is limited, so sign up today!
Best Wishes to CLA’s Ms. Ruby
Our Miss Ruby will be moving to Ohio at the end of this school year to be closer to
family. Ruby has been at CLA for six years. When she moved to Pensacola, she took
the job as After Care Coordinator at CLA. The next year she started the current format
of Camp Creative. “Ruby truly loves the environment that CLA provides for the
students” said Mrs. Ball. “She is caring, loving, and sensitive to the children’s needs.
She always wears a smile and truly enjoys working and being with children. She likes
for children to be engaged in age appropriate activities and to find success with their
learning.” Ruby says that she had lots of great memories of CLA that will keep her
warm on the cold Ohio nights. Safe travels, Miss Ruby. We will miss you!
TECH CORNER
Dr. H. Quincy Brown
Last week we tested our Parent Alert System. The test results revealed
a number of things about our system and a number of issues
about our database. When we send an alert, we receive a report of all
calls that were answered (human or machine), and all calls that could
not be processed. If you received a call on several sources, it is due
to the selections made in the preferences section of RenWeb. The Parent Alert System
defaults to calling the number entered in the cell phone box of the family forms.
Parents have the ability to modify the number called through the alert system (cell,
home, work). To change the default, simply enter Parent Web and from the left side
banner select School Information and Web Forms. In the working window you
need to select “Family Demographic Form”. Another working window will appear;
under Custodial Parents select one of the parents and a Custodial Parent Demographic
Form will appear. At the bottom of this page is a section called Preference.
You can select which method you would like us to use when we send a parent alert.
The “yes” column indicates the method of choice. Once you have selected your
choices, click on the Save button to complete the process.

Have you donated to the Annual Fund?
We need your support!!!
Every gift, no matter the size, counts!
We could list dozens of items that your gift, combined with others, helps
purchase. But how do you put a cost on planting the seeds of exploration
and personal discovery, nurturing intellectual curiosity, or inspiring
a desire to help others? Your gift makes all this possible.
When you give to the CLA Annual Fund, you help provide the exceptional education and
close community that has always made our school special. And you help us accomplish our
most important goal: inspiring a passion for learning in your child.
We need your support.
Our goal this year is to raise $80,000, we are $10,000 away from that goal!
Our financial strength is dependent upon participation of all members of our community.
Please join us; it is the best way to show your belief in a CLA education. Your support will
positively impact the present-day and future of our school. This year we have allocated
funds from the Annual Fund to paint the exterior of the school. Also, building ‘A’ will undergo
an interior renovation. Both of these projects will be done over the summer.
Every gift, no matter the size, counts!
To make your donation, simply complete a donation envelope and mail or drop off in the office
or click below to make your donation online. Please make your donation by May 31st.
Additional envelopes are available in the office. If you have any questions, please contact
Vicky Wonders, Development Director.
