Teacher Appreciation

Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated toward Teacher Appreciation Week. Your generosity is such a blessing, and it truly helps us love on our teachers and staff in a meaningful way.

We’re continuing to collect donations for the rest of April. CLA families, if you’d like to join in, you can send donations in the Friday folders or Zelle me, my number is listed on the flyer.

I appreciate all the support, and I can’t wait to celebrate our amazing teachers and staff May 4–8.

Warmly,
Ghisselle

Inclement Weather Procedures

Dear CLA Families, for times of inclement weather (school closings, delays, and early dismissals), CLA usually follows the Brookfield School system. So, if Brookfield schools are closed, CLA will be closed as well. However, because we have many families and staff commuting from long distances, we do reserve the right to determine whether the school will open in cases where Brookfield schools are delayed or have early dismissal. This is done for the safety of our families and staff. In all cases, CLA will communicate our status in the following ways:
  1. Email:
    • Gradelink
  2. Media:
    • NBC30 (Channel 6)
  3. Text from Christian life Academy: Contact the main office if you are unsure your phone number is current

  • 2 Hour Delay
    • 10:15 am student arrival
    • 10:25 am school begins
      • There is NO Before Care
    • Normal dismissal time
  • 3 Hour Delay
    • 11:15 am student arrival
    • 11:25 school begins
      • There is NO Before Care
    • Normal dismissal time
  • Early Dismissals
    • 11:30 am (typically)
      • NO Bus service
   

2025 Year End Giving Campaign

It’s official — we have entered the most Thankful and Giving time of the year! We are deeply thankful for God’s provision and all He has done and continues to do in our school and families.

For decades, CLA has faithfully taught our children and grandchildren, providing strong academics in a Christ‑centered education. We are blessed to be teaching, training, and caring for our students — all for the glory of God!

We appreciate your generosity in the past and look forward to finishing strong in 2025. Thank you for your support in helping us fulfill our mission!
