Volunteer Service Form Mid-Day Snow Dismissal Procedure In the event of a mid-day dismissal, when students are dismissed, they must sign-out and indicate the method of transportation they are taking home i.e.: walk, school bus, Septa, drive themselves, drive w/someone else, pick up. If there is a method of transportation that your child is not permitted to take (drive home with someone else, etc.), please inform the High School Office at x256. Student drivers/septa/walkers are dismissed as soon as possible to ensure their safety. As surrounding school districts close mid-day, they will send their buses to pick up our students. Please check the website of your local school district to see if they are closing mid-day. For example: If your child rides a Neshaminy bus, and Neshaminy closes mid-day, your child will be dismissed to go home as soon as the Neshaminy bus arrives at CCA. When inclement weather threatens, parents can come at anytime to pick up their children. Senior Retreat Our annual senior class retreat is May 28th-May 31st at Camp Spofford in New Hampshire.

15th Annual School-Wide Mission Christmas: Student Government and the Faculty & Administration are on a mission to provide gifts and goodies for those in need during the Christmas season.

8 15th Annual School-Wide Mission Christmas: Student Government and the Faculty & Administration are on a mission to provide gifts and goodies for those in need during the Christmas season. Our mission is to support Calvary Chapel s Adopt-A-Family ministry by collecting toys, toiletries and other such gifts to be presented to needy families within our church body. If you are willing and able, please join us in this mission by sending into school a new gift on or before Monday, December 10, 2018 (gift cards and donations are also welcome). You can base your gift on items you or your child would like to receive. But please DO NOT wrap it! Another aspect of our mission is to provide an opportunity for our students to be hands on in the ministry process. What we do is pair up a high school class with an elementary class, and then a high school student with an elementary student to together wrap the Christmas gifts and also have a time of fellowship. It is so heartwarming to see the older students working together with younger students for the purpose of blessing the body of Christ. Thank you in advance for your support of our mission and ministry. Questions or comments? us at acervone@ccphilly.org or call x268.
