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 2019 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 $7,000. Also, we had so much fun at our annual Winter Program and it’s always great to see how many families join us!
Please take a moment to read through the news and reminders below and let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Kindest Regards,
Christina Durish, Principal
Yasmine Newsome, Assistant Principal

If you’re not currently receiving photos and daily reports for your child you can easily change this by downloading the Links 2 Home app on your phone. Just type ‘Links 2 Home’ in the search bar for the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. After downloading Links 2 Home you can register with the same email address that you used to enroll your child in our school.
As a reminder:
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 3-5 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.
* We are a peanut free school.
* If your child is sick, we will adhere to our sick policy.
* Please make sure to check your child’s cubby and/or mailbox for important information.
