Messages From Mrs.Moceri, CSA District Executive Director & CSA Principal
Dear CSA District Families,
This is Staff Appreciation Week, a time when we celebrate the remarkable people I am so fortunate to call colleagues and friends. CSA District Teachers and Staff are some of the most dedicated and hardworking people I know. They pour their hearts and souls into fulfilling our mission to provide a safe place each and every day for all our students to grow and learn! I am surrounded by people who truly "Raise the bar"!
Thank you to our Maintenance Team for working diligently to ensure that our buildings are beautiful, clean and safe spaces for our students to learn and grow.
Thank you to our Bus Drivers who safely transport our students to and from each campus every day.
Thank you to our Secretarial Teams for keeping our offices running, often being the first line of communication when our parents or our students need something, and for being the first friendly face that welcomes them to school each morning.
Thank you to our Teachers for the passion, commitment, creativity, compassion and love that you bring to our students. I am well aware of the countless hours you devote to your craft both inside and outside your classroom. Your impact on our students and the world is enormous.
Thank you to our TST Team for the support you give to our teachers and students. Your warmth, kindness, patience, expertise and partnership allow us to optimize learning in our classrooms.
Thank you to our Student Enrichment Program (SEP) staff for taking good care our students before and after school as well as for providing new and engaging activities for our students that allow them to tap into their budding interests and passions.
Thank you to our Athletic Director for seeking every opportunity possible for our student athletes to stay connected, practice, and compete.
Thank you to my fellow Leadership Team members for your dedication, flexibility, knowledge, support, humor and shared commitment to putting students first. It is an honor to work alongside you each day.
Finally, a big THANK YOU to our Parent Council and the many parent volunteers who made this week happen. We feel your love and appreciation today and every day. It is the partnership we share with you that continues to make CSA District shine!
With great respect and gratitude,
Jessica Moceri
CSA District Interim Executive Director and CSA Principal
Next Week is Charter School Week
The month of May marvels with the beauty of spring and the many memorable events taking place across our District.
May also brings Charter School Week (May 13-17), a fantastic event highlighted by our annual Charter Day at the Michigan State Capitol! On Wednesday, May 15, Mr. Stewart and I will be assembling with other charter school advocates on the steps of the Capitol in Lansing for Charter Day at the Capitol 2024 (CDAC24)! This event serves to boost the visibility of the movement to Michigan lawmakers and provides us with an opportunity to come together and celebrate our exceptional schools. We hope you will consider joining us!
For more information about the events taking place during Charter School Week, including registration for CDAC24, please Click Here.
If we have enough parent interest in attending Charter Day at the Capitol, we will consider coordinating carpool groups and/or taking one of our school busses for the day. We would love to show our CSA Pride by filling a school bus with proud CSA District parents and staff! If you are interested in joining us, please email Matthew Stewart at mstewart@csaschool.org or me, Jessica Moceri, at jmoceri@csaschool.org today. Of course, you are more than welcome to register and then drive yourself.
If you are unable to join us at the Capitol, I encourage you to write to your lawmakers. Below are two links: one for easy access to your lawmaker’s information, and the other, a letter template.
Write Your Lawmakers
Charters Lead Letter Template
It is critical that lawmakers hear from you about your experience in a charter school, and your support for parental choice in education. Your student’s education should not be determined by your zip code or your financial means.
CSA remains dedicated to the roots of the charter movement by always recognizing the importance of innovation in education and the power of parent choice. We do not take for granted the privilege it is to be your choice.
In partnership with you,
Jessica Moceri
Save The Date! CSAMS/CSPA Arts, Beats, & Treats ARt Show & Marketplace Will be May 22nd, 6PM - 8PM.
The Education Foundation Presents Our Spring Fundraiser
To further the CSA Education Foundation's mission to raise funds to provide our teachers with Returning Educator Grants, support their professional development opportunities, and provide stipends, we are asking for our CSA families to come together to keep growing our gratitude this spring! Using the QR code below, you can donate today! Any donations, whether one-time or recurring, will be used to go directly back to our teachers.
Every morning during Staff Appreciation Week, students at each campus have an opportunity to join the fun by passing out flowers to staff to show their appreciation! For each donation of at least $1, students will get a flower to deliver!
There is no limit to how often students can participate during the week. We can't wait to see them shower their petals of appreciation!
It's Time To Start Thinking About Summer Opportunities!
It is truly hard to believe that summer planning is already on the horizon. Many summer camp opportunities have their registrations just now opening up, or soon to open up this month. We have put together a "2024 Summer Opportunities for Students Preschool through High School" document for our CSA District families. This document has a wide range of summer experiences for the oldest and youngest and all those youngsters in between. Now is the time to sift through the myriad of possibilities, consider the logistics, and work through the decision-making process. The last few pages of this resource also have a range of activities and events for your family on a rainy day or holiday.
