Out of 21,000 schools researched by U.S. News & World Report, CDA Charter Academy was ranked 97th. I'm not surprised. I'm thrilled, but not surprised. Three of my children attend Charter. We are planning to send our youngest son into 6th grade there next year. It's a fantastic school!

Congratulations to all of the hard working administration, staff, and teachers at CDA Charter. Also, way to go fellow parents for doing your part to make our school such a great place too!

Check out the article from U.S. News & World Report. Also, check out the local article written by the CDA Press.

Well, summer is officially over. While there will still be many of us enjoying shorts and sandals for as long as the weather will allow it, summer has come to an end. The first day of school is TODAY in the CDA area (CDA Charter Academy students have been back since last Monday).

With the end of summer and the beginning of school comes school bus pick ups and drop offs, more kids riding bikes or skateboards and walking to school, and school speed limit zones. Please, please make sure that you are paying attention when driving near a school (actually, this goes for anywhere you are driving). That's right, put the cell phone down...your text message can wait. Slow down and be observant because the kids aren't usually watching...they're kids.

Just wanted to remind everyone that we need to watch out for the kids. Oh, and just think, after today, only 179 more school days left until next summer!
