Robotics Team Going to State
CA’s Lower School Robotics Club competed against 14 teams from across West TN in the West TN First Lego League (FLL) State Qualifier. CA had 3 teams compete and 2 of the 3 qualified for the State Competition and the 3rd team qualified as an alternate. Of the 14 teams competing only 4 were lower school students while the other 10 were middle school level teams with many years experience. We are so proud of all our Robotics Team members and wish them the best luck in the state competition!

Communication of School Closing
When inclement weather prevents us from coming to school or causes us to be late, school closing information can be found on News Channels 2, 4, 5, and Fox 17, the Leaf Chronicle and Clarksville Now. We will also email and send text notification. Our website will have any school closing information posted as well. We will do our best to quickly assess the situation and make an announcement. We do not follow Montgomery County School System in these closings.
Annual Giving
Over the course of our first semester one way we have used our annual funds is to purchase a much needed software system for our enrollment management offices. This new system will help us track students as they inquire about CA and follow them throughout the enrollment process. It will allow our admissions office to better serve our future and current students. This is one of the many things that doesn’t merit a tuition increase, but is best served by our annual funds.
As you can see, we have already made strong use of the annual funds already committed, but we need your help to continue to improve our school. We have plans for additional professional development opportunities, emerging needs like AED machines, technology needs, updating our library to be a Makerspace, and continuing to boost our security with upgraded cameras, mag strike doors and more. If you have any questions about annual giving, please contact Sally Allen at sallen@clarksvilleacademy.com.
