 March 4, 2013 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter
Have you ever started something that seemed insurmountable at first? Sometimes, though, momentum shifts and things fall exactly into place if you just take one (driven) step at a time. Starting a school is no easy task, but people have come forward out of the woodwork from surrounding communities to help make the dream a bit closer to reality as every day passes. Spring is often described as a rebirth and awakening all around us. Change (and choice) are not to be feared, but welcomed. Enjoy this week's (very full) CC!
Blue skies (no matter how cold), Donna Bennett

Charter School in the Finger Lakes area?
A group of parents, former educators and community leaders will be applying through the SUNY Trustees for a charter school (as a free public school choice option) in our area. We are actively seeking your comments, responses and feedback so please email or call us at (585)298-0116.
The Classical Charter School of the Finger Lakes will be located in Phelps and is expected to open enrollment in the Fall of 2015. Students can enroll from these 9 schools districts (within the 15 mile bus radius): Marcus Whitman, Shortsville/Manchester, Geneva, Palmyra, Newark, Lyons, Phelps/Clifton Springs, Waterloo, and Canandaigua. Other students are welcome, but would provide their own transportation. In the first year, we will open as a K-6 school (200 students)with plans for expansion each subsequent year to be a K-12 school in 2021.
The mission of the Classical Charter School of the Finger Lakes is to
furnish every child with a classical and academically rigorous education in the liberal arts, mathematics and sciences, complemented with instruction in the principles of moral character and civic virtue. We will go beyond basic standard levels of understanding to achieve true proficiency through a structured and systematic Core Knowledge curriculum, phonics based reading program, and foreign language instruction.
A few key components of the curriculum:
- K-5 Spanish and 6-9 Latin Instruction
- Emphasis on classical literature
- Research-based phonics instruction
- Instruction in the principles of moral character and civic virtue
Tues, March 25th, 6pm will be our evening info session at the Phelps Community Center. There will be a petition available to sign if you are interested in having your child enrolled. Please sign up here to get updates on our school's progress.
A partnership through Hillsdale College Charter School Initiative
