Director’s Message

Dear CSA Families,

Welcome back from Spring Break. This week, CSA learners will be working on completing Quarter 3 projects. As you check your learner’s progress, please let us know if we can assist you with Schoology and Powerschool. If you look at your learners’ work in Schoology, a piece of paper will represent your learner’s submitted work, and a red mark is a missing assignment. Facilitators and the CSA office staff are prepared to answer your questions.  

We are excited to plan and look ahead to Quarter 4; Presentations of Learning, Learner-Led Conferences, guest speakers, and special events like the Fun Run. Please take a moment to review the calendar and set time aside for Learner-Led Conferences on April 13 and 14. Also, please note we do not have school on April 14 (Learner-Led Conferences) and April 22 (Facilitator Professional Learning).  

The sky is not the limit when our imaginations are unlimited!

Sincerely,

Anne Wodetzki

CSA School Director
