Parents
Student Progress
At City Academy we recognize the important role parents play in supporting their student's education. We manage student progress reports with the Utah State Student Information System (SIS). This state system provides accessible information for parents as well as students, and teachers/advisors. Parents can request and receive information on the qualifications of their students' teachers by contacting the school director.
We use our more qualitative and informative system of reporting demonstrated competency levels as Initial, Reaching, Solid, and Expanded or L, R, S, and E. We are currently working closely with the state office to adjust the parameters of the state's SIS structure so that we can better report through their system all the information our parents and students want to receive. Check your student's progress by clicking on the SIS link below then enter your username and password.
Excused Absence PolicyThe submission of the Parental Request for Excusal of Absence for Valid Reason form is the only way a student's absence can be excused as valid by a parent. Phone calls or notes on other paper, etc will not be accepted. This form must be received within four school days of the last day of an absence to have the absence excused - late forms will result in the absence being considered unauthorized.

In addition to parent members, the Council also has two teachers, two students, and one administrator. All CAAC members are elected by their constituencies. All CAAC meetings follow open meeting laws.
The Council is mandated by state law and its purpose is to advise on the following: Use of School Land Trust funds, Comprehensive Guidance Policy, Title I programs development and oversight, student transportation plan, First Amendment School issues, School Wellness Program, and any other issues of concern to the school population as a whole.
