| CHCA Family, Last year we asked parents to participate in a survey providing feedback on our effectiveness in educating your student(s). The information we received provided valuable information and has guided many of the changes and new programs that we have instituted this year. We are now asking you to complete a follow-up survey. This survey is not as in-depth but will give us an opportunity to gauge your feelings about our progress and will provide direction as we continue the development of the Faith-Family-Future Plan. A link is provided below that will take you to the survey which we are asking for one person from each family complete. Survey Link Thanks again for choosing CHCA as your partner in the educational journey of your student. God Bless and Go Warriors! P.S. Next week is homecoming week! We look forward to seeing everyone at the Homecoming Carnival, the all school parade, and the big game next Friday night. | Homecoming Week 2017 is HERE - October 16th-21st! "It is a Classic" is this year's theme. See the homecoming information below.

Admission is free! Food and cotton candy will be available to purchase. We hope to see you at this fun filled family event. #WarriorLife | On Friday, October 20, 2017 we are excited to offer our student body an opportunity to come together and celebrate homecoming! Our West Campus students will be parading for our Church Campus students. We encourage you all to join us on the Church Campus for the fun! West Campus students will be dismissed at 12:05 and travel to the Church Campus to prepare for the parade which will begin at 1:00 p.m. Lunch will be from 11:30-12:00. Students will either purchase pizza in the cafeteria or bring a lunch. While the homecoming parade is a time of fun and celebration, we want to ensure that our students are as safe as possible. As such the parade festivities will be treated like a field trip. All students must have a completed and signed permission form to participate in the homecoming parade. On Friday, parents will not be able to park in the back parking lot due to preparations for the parade. Our crossing guard will be across Demetropolis to help students cross after parking by the gas station and ice machine.
