Mighty Oaks Say "Thank You!" to Generations Gatherings Friends! 
‌

In April, Grade 4 students hosted the last Generations Gathering of this school year.  Students shared a scrapbook they had made of the things they learned about their new friends.  It was a fun time of getting to know friends from different generations, playing games, and encouraging one another.  The students also invited their new friends to their Promotion Ceremony on May 30, and look forward to reconnecting there!

2024-25 CBA Elem/MS Uniform Policy

‌ 2024-25 CBA Elementary/MS Uniform Policy

Per the CBA Parent-Student Handbook, the uniform policy for the 2024 – 2025 school year is as follows:

CBA Elementary and Middle School students (Grades 1-8) wear uniforms for multiple reasons. Uniforms help students focus on one another’s character rather than their peer’s attire. Uniforms also help students pursue unity, take on the identity of leaders, promote modesty, dress for success, and ensure safety. Shirt colors were chosen to symbolize both our world and Jesus, the Light of the world. 

  • Daily uniforms are purchased from Children’s Place.
  • Elementary and Middle School PE T-shirts and Middle School sweatshirts are purchased from the CBA office (officestaff@charlestonbilingualacademy.org).
  • Uniform colors include light blue (Daybreak), navy (Tidal/Nautico), bright yellow (Yellow Pencil) & white. New for 24-25: Light purple (Purple Prose) is available for girls. 
  • Polo shirts and sweaters should not have any logos or writing on them.
