ASPIRE Testing

Clarksville Academy’s testing season is nearing! We will be testing through ACT’s assessment system, ACT Aspire, as the summative assessment for 3rd through 10th grades. This assessment has replaced EXPLORE and PLAN tests, as ACT is discontinuing the use of the EXPLORE and PLAN assessments.

ACT Aspire is a digital and longitudinal assessment system that will connect our student’s performance to their college readiness. The Aspire is linked to ACT’s college readiness standards and will serve as an integral part of our student’s success.

During the month of April, Clarksville Academy will administer the ACT Aspire to all students in the 3rd through 10th grade. Students in grades 3rd through 8th
will take the paper version of the Aspire test and students in grades 9th
and 10th will test using the computer-based version of the Aspire.

The ACT Aspire will be administered during the mornings of the following dates:
 
3rd – 5th grades Monday, April 20th through Friday, April 24th

6th – 10th grades Monday, April 20th and Friday, April 24th

Intermediate Health Class

The Intermediate Health classes recently visited the Tree of Life Market. We were taught information about natural, organic and GMO free food products. Angelica and Yvonne Chamberlain gave the classes a tour of the market, described and shared some of the unique fruits and vegetables they carry.

Students were enchanted by the snacks and cookie isle and the thought that these are healthier options for “junk” food.

The students then went to the kitchen to taste some of these unique snacks, milks and juices.

On our return back the students created iMovies of their experience.

Expanding the Experience

Clarksville Academy is still very excited about our expansion plans! As you can see a new expansion which opened Feb 2015 is adjacent to the main building. This expansion is really booming on the north end of our campus and we are thrilled with the process! In this expanded part of the main building we have the opportunity for a few more classrooms to be named. We have had a few families reserve naming rights on some of the classrooms, but still have a couple left. If you are interested in honoring or memorializing someone in this way, please contact Sally Allen at sallen@clarksvilleacademy.com or 647-6311. These won’t last long.

Our hope is to have the new building shown below completed by 2020. We need your help do this! Contact Sally Allen at sallen@clarksvilleacademy.com to find out what you can do to help us reach our goal.

News from the Cougar Café

Please remember to Pre-Order Lunch each week. This is very important even when you are on the annual or bi-annual lunch plan. Clarksville Academy now offers a Cougar Bucks Account option to better assist children with their lunch needs! This convenient option gives families the opportunity to deposit money into an account and this money can be withdrawn for miscellaneous items that are available at the express window or the hot lunch window. Payments can now be made via the new online marketplace!

Pre Order lunch using this link.

If you have any questions please contact Kristi Truitt at lunch@clarksvilleacademy.com.  Thank you!!

 

Box Tops & Campbell’s Labels

This is a reminder that CA collects Campbell’s labels and Box Tops through our CAA. The money raised from this project funds various school improvement projects. Last year we raised over $2000 through the Box Tops program alone! Please turn yours into your child’s teacher or Ms. Turnage in the front office.
