CCA West Students

This past Monday marks my transition into the full-time student recruitment fellow position. Previously, I worked with Brett, the student recruitment manager, on recruiting and enrolling students at Columbus Collegiate Academy. Starting Monday, however, Brett took on a new position as the office manager at our West campus. This leaves me with full responsibility of reaching CCA’s goal enrollment totals! Luckily this week also marks the start of a waitlist at our Main St. campus which means we have met our enrollment totals for one of our two middle schools. Enrolling students are our West school, which I mentioned in my last post is moving into a new building on Dana Ave in Franklinton (not far from our location last year in the Boys and Girls Club) is now my main focus.

Our primary means of reaching out to students is through direct mailings and these have been sent out sporadically throughout the past few months to all Columbus City School and SouthWest City School incoming 6^th grade students. Brett and I have also been working on designing a postcard which was just finalized and sent out this week so hopefully in the next few days the calls will start coming in from that! Aside from mailings, I have been working to reach to students in any way possible. That includes going door to door in neighborhood in Franklinton, hanging flyers in community organizations and following up with every lead. I already have many families scheduled to see the school next week and with our move taking place and more and more people learning about CCA I can only hope that more families enroll their students! This week, with the holiday and our time at Boys and Girls Club coming to an end, was a transition week, but next week will most likely bring about good results and up our enrollment status.

Until next week… Thanks for reading,

Nikki
