Juniors

From Guidance–Dear Clarksville Academy Junior Parents,
Each year we have an informational meeting regarding college planning, college applications, scholarships, and much more for all of our juniors and/or their parents.  We would like to invite you to attend this meeting on Tuesday, March 3, 2015, at 5:00 p.m.  The meeting will be held in Clarksville Academy’s Auxiliary gym.  We will have a representative from Austin Peay State University here to discuss Dual Enrollment between 5:00 p.m. and 5:30. The college planning presentation will immediately follow that presentation.

I strongly encourage all parents and students to attend, if possible.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email our Denise Walker at dwalker@clarksvilleacademy.com

 

Re-enrollment

We are currently undergoing re-enrollment here at CA. Families should submit their re-enrollment contracts before March 6. All returning families have their space secured for the 2015-2016 school year until March 6. After this date we will begin open enrollment for any student in our community. If you have questions regarding re-enrollment please see the Business Office.

 

FCA

FCA will meet each Wednesday at 7:15 AM in Coach Chuck Holt’s room. We invite everyone to attend!

 

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.

 

iPad/iPhone App

We encourage you to download our mobile app from the App Store. We are currently only available on Apple products. This app will provide wonderful updates about what is going on at our school.
