A Message From Mrs. Lisa Pick, Director of Elementary Education

Dear CSA Families,

Across our District, we are devoting this week to celebrating our amazing staff. As a leader at CSA, I see the countless ways that our staff goes above and beyond to meet the needs of our students. Here are just a few:

  • They strive each and every day to build positive relationships with their own students as well as with students throughout our school.
    ‍
  • They work to plan instructional activities that are at that just-right level of intensity, keeping in mind the developmental needs and interests of each student while at the same time, ensuring their students are as actively engaged as possible.
    ‍
  • They step in whenever and however needed to support students and their fellow staff members.
    ‍
  • They support our morning and afternoon carpool on the hottest of hot days to the coldest of cold days, in rain, sleet, and snow, and all with a smile and a wave.

  • They greet our families and students by name each morning, always happy to see everyone arrive each day.
    ‍
  • They give their time outside of school to welcome our incoming Kindergarteners at our Experience Kindergarten Night, support after school events such as our Family Fitness Night and our District’s Color Run, and often can be found attending some extracurricular activities of their students.

Day in and day out, our staff gives their all to ensure that each of our students can learn and grow in a safe place.

Thank each of our CSA staff for all you do all day, every day. The dedication, creativity, and love that you give to each of our students is beyond measure. I truly appreciate ALL you do.
‍
In partnership with you,
Lisa Pick

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!
