¡Hola familias de CWA!
¡Feliz caída! Esperamos que haya podido salir al aire libre en este clima cálido y soleado que somos tan afortunados de tener en esta época del año en el hermoso noroeste. En este mes de gratitud, estamos muy agradecidos por su apoyo y que hayan elegido nuestra escuela para la educación de su hijo. Esperamos que este año escolar haya sido tan positivo para ustedes como lo ha sido para nosotros; Realmente nos encanta darles la bienvenida a sus estudiantes a la escuela todos los días, ya sea en línea o presencialmente. En este boletín destacaremos algunas de las muchas actividades y oportunidades de aprendizaje que han tenido lugar este trimestre y le brindaremos fechas importantes y próximos eventos. También es hora de que les pidamos que se unan a nosotros para las conferencias de padres y maestros los días 20 y 21 de noviembre. Hemos incluido el cronograma a continuación para que lo revise y planifique en consecuencia. ¡Esperamos verte ahí!

Back to School Orientations
Our K - 12 back to school orientations in September were highly engaging, meaningful, and an excellent way to help students get set up for a successful school year. Thank you to all of you that attended and participated in the sessions, please remember we are all here to work with you and support you in your education this year!

Elementary Field Trip to the Park
CWA’s elementary students spent a fun-filled day at North Clackamas Park. Despite the gray morning, it stayed dry and was such a fun day spent reconnecting with old friends and making new ones too! 😊
Enrichment Classes
Our High School students are actively participating in on-site enrichment classes enjoying the collaborative and engaging learning opportunities they provide. Students in Astronomy are learning about the immense size, complexity and beauty of the ever-evolving universe. Topics in Forensic Science, the application of science for solving crimes, include toxicology, DNA fingerprinting, ballistics, blood type, and trace evidence. Students in Doorways to Expression are examining self-expression through drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture, students in Ancient Empires are taking a journey back in time to examine the culture, art, and architecture of different ancient empires, our Yearbook students are busy interviewing students and staff, and our Leadership students are planning fun school activities for all grade levels to participate in.
CWA High School Students Attend College!
And, we don’t mean after high school. Over 30% of current CWA high school students are enrolled in
one or more college classes this fall at Clackamas, Portland and Mt. Hood Community Colleges along
with Oregon Tech, a four year university. From Accounting, Art and Automotive to Writing and
Welding, our high school students are learning skills and achieving great things at the college level as
part of their CWA high school experience.
Registration for Winter term at the colleges opens in November. Students who would like to take a
college class should begin the application and registration process now. See your Advisor, Counselor, or
Susan Roberts for more information or check out CWA+College or the Early College Options (ECO)
program on the CWA “Apply Now” portion of our website.
Pumpkin Patch
Our Elementary and Middle School students had a chance to connect and enjoy time together at Liepold Farms on a stunningly beautiful sunny day in October. Pumpkins, corn maze, goats, apple cider, donuts, and hayrides were enjoyed by all! ☀️
Middle School Community Meetings
Our Middle School students continue to enjoy building community in their grade level Community Meetings each week while receiving academic support and playing collaborative games. Our 8th Grade students meet weekly on Tuesdays at 11:00 and our 6th and 7th Grade students meet weekly on Wednesdays at 11:00, we hope you can join us!
Evento YTA de limpieza de transmisiones/carreteras
El evento de limpieza de Stream/Roadside ofreció a los estudiantes una gran oportunidad para ayudar a su comunidad y al mismo tiempo brindarles valiosas horas de YTA. Los estudiantes y el personal llenaron varias bolsas de basura a lo largo de 84th Ave aquí en Clackamas, ¡muchas gracias a todos los que participaron! Comuníquese con su maestro de YTA si está buscando más oportunidades de voluntariado.
