Sign up for text alerts from CMCA/The Vanguard School
We have added a text messaging option to our list of ways to communicate with our families should there be any weather delays or emergencies. You are now able to self-register and manage up to three email addresses and/or cell phone text message addresses and receive emergency information just minutes after we post it. These alerts come directly from the FlashAlert service, so you need to specifically subscribe to FlashAlert and create an account to receive these alerts. To subscribe to these alerts, please click here. We will plan on sending out a test alert on Thursday, March 22nd so families can confirm that they have successfully signed up for this service.
Looking for Study-Buddies
CMCA is in need of more high school volunteers to help with the Study-Buddy program that takes place after school Monday through Thursday from 3:30 - 4:00 P.M. on the Wahsatch campus. There are no requirements other than wanting to help younger students with their homework and becoming their Study- Buddy. For high school students who are looking for a service project, this would be a good way to accumulate volunteer hours. For more information about this program, please contact Jill Custer at 471-1999 x 256 or Amy Stephens at 471-1999 x 302.
Original Artworks
For all those families who are interested in participating in the Original Artworks fundraiser (originalworks.com), please pick up a packet from each school's front desk. Art classes from K-4 were able to complete these in class, but many students did not complete them in school. This "do-it-yourself" packet will contain everything needed to complete and order an artwork project for your student. Deadline for turning the packets back in (in time to receive the projects by Mother's Day!) is the first week in April. Turn them in to the front desks and the PTO will pick them up. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the PTO, or Alea Simmons, our Original Artworks coordinator, at 719-306-7047. Thank you!
