Dear CBA Families,

Happy New Year to every one of you!  We are so thankful for all the new families that we have gained this past year and for all the ones we were lucky enough to spend another year with.  Your trust, love, and support mean the world to us and we are who we are because of you.

We ended 2018 on a great note by raising money for Make A Wish.  Thank you to all who donated and were a part of helping us raise money for such a great cause.  Together, with our sister schools in the area, we raised over $8,700.  Also, we had so much fun at our annual Winter Program and it’s always great to see how many families join us!

January is sure to be a busy month, as our teachers have been hard at work planning winter activities for their students.   With that being said, we want to make sure that we keep our students healthy and the best way to do so is with your cooperation.  Our parents are vital partners in helping us to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the students in our school. The most important thing you can do to assist us in creating a healthy environment is to keep your child home if they are ill. This reduces the spread of illness and allows your child to fully recuperate. Children may not attend school until they have been symptom free for 24 hours if they display any of the following:

• Fever of 100 degrees of more—must be fever free for 24 hours with no fever-reducing medicine before returning to school
• Vomiting, diarrhea or stomach upset
• Heavy nasal discharge requiring wiping every 305 minutes
• Persistent, non-productive or barking cough
• Sore throat
• Skin rash, including diaper rash
• Head lice
• Symptoms of a communicable disease
• Fussy, cranky behavior unlike child’s normal demeanor that may indicate illness

For more information please see our Parent Handbook or reach out to a member of our administrative team.

For information about important dates for the upcoming months, please be sure to check out our monthly calendar on the website.  We wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year and we look forward to spending 2019 with you and your family!

Thank you,

Chandrea Wilson, Principal

Yasmine Newsome, Assistant Principal
