Mask requirement for K through 5 students + additional protocols

Rebecca Collett2021-08-27T15:01:00-04:00

The Charleston Bilingual Academy Task Force has made the decision, at this time, that all students in kindergarten through 5th grade at Charleston Bilingual Academy should wear a mask or face shield at school. Through our ongoing discussions with area doctors and our Board, we believe this is one additional step we must take to slow or stop the spread of COVID during this peak time of transmission. We are regularly meeting with our task force to assess our protocols, and we strongly believe masks or face shields are an additional layer of protection for our students and our [...]

Pizza Friday

Rebecca Collett2021-08-27T11:20:09-04:00

On the first Friday of every month, PTO members deliver pizzas to our students from kindergarten and up. Last year the PTO rolled out this program as a fundraiser for PTO programs, and it was a big hit for students and families. The first of our Pizza Friday events is Friday, September 3. We ask parents to Venmo the school (@Charlestonbilingualacademy) to cover the cost of the pizza for your student(s). You can pay $5 each month per student or for the entire school year, which is $45 per student. Students should still bring their water bottle and a snack to [...]

The safety of our students is a top priority for the team at CBA. To that end, we want to make sure the drop off and pick up procedures are clear, and families are alert during this period of the morning and afternoon. You will find a map of the CBA campus below. There are markers on the map to indicate where students should be dropped off and picked up. All drivers coming onto the CBA campus and Friendship Baptist Church should enter from Lackawanna Blvd and exit onto Princeton Street. Students in second through fifth grade will be dropped off [...]

From the Headmaster: Learning Loss during School Breaks

Larry Collett2021-05-24T13:19:09-04:00

Dear CBA Community, Summer break is nearly here. Whoohoo! God has been amazingly good to us this past year. The school as a whole missed less days this past year than any of the prior years, when hurricanes kept interrupting our classes. Many of us are dreaming about vacations, BBQ, and a slower pace this summer. Am I right? But the villain of the season is summer slide. "Summer slide" (or learning loss) is the concept that students regress during gaps in learning. We see a slide in students’ language fluency when they return after the two weeks of Christmas break.
