Dear CSA District Families,

“April showers bring May flowers.” It’s official, spring has arrived in Michigan! I would like to extend a warm welcome back from spring vacation. Whether you stayed close to home or traveled, I hope your time was filled with laughter, joy, and meaningful memories.

It is hard to believe that we are now in the final stretch of the school year. Students will be engaging in their final units of study while also looking ahead to many significant and memorable activities and annual events, including spring field trips, concerts, athletics, art shows at both the Elementary and Secondary campuses, Middle School Career Day, Middle School Third-Year Presentations, Sentinel Survivor Kickoff, Senior Honors Night, Junior and Senior Prom, and, of course, the most significant culminating event of all, Graduation.

Spring is also testing season. Please be sure to review your student’s classroom and advisory newsletters for important information about when they will participate in state and/or national assessments, including M-STEP (Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress), the NWEA MAP Test (Measures of Academic Progress), and the PSAT and SAT. You can support our efforts to optimize students’ testing experiences by ensuring they arrive at school on time, well-rested, and nourished with a healthy breakfast.

We will conclude the month by kicking off our Spring Comprehensive Student Reviews (CSRs). Students will not have school on Thursday, April 23, and Friday, April 24, so that teachers can dedicate two full days to scheduling CSR appointments with families at mutually convenient times. We will also offer evening CSR appointments on Thursday, April 30, to accommodate families who may need a later option. Our teachers look forward to meeting with you to share progress and celebrate your student’s growth across all areas of the Whole Child. This is also a valuable opportunity to collaborate on goals for the remainder of the school year and beyond.

Our schools are buzzing with productivity and positivity. We are committed to finishing the school year strong, seizing every learning opportunity and making the most of our time with students. We look forward to seeing you at upcoming events and celebrating all that we have accomplished together.

In partnership with you,
