Besides the health impact, the financial devastation from Covid 19 will be felt around the world and is being compared to the Great Depression (1929-1933). In this regard, we must be alert to its impact right here in our community.  Because we care for each CAS family and would like to help as much as we can, we encourage our parents to do business with one another taking into consideration their areas of expertise or business. For this purpose, we would like to create a database with CAS parents' affiliations that will be confidentially shared with our community, promoting products or services that can be of interest to some or to all. If you are interested and would like to be part of this, please send us a paragraph or two with your affiliation logo so that we may add it to our database. We love our CAS community and we are all together in this unprecedented time to lend support and assistance. 

As a reminder, tuition fee payments for the Second Semester were due February 15th. Due to the upheaval caused by COVID-19, many things have been disrupted including receiving payments, however, if for some reason you have not settled your obligation to the school, we kindly ask our parents to settle these matters as well as any other fees owed to the school without further delay.  Our Admissions office has sent out a reenrollment form to ascertain the intention of all parents to commit to enrolling their child/ren for 2020/21.  Pre-Registration for 2020/21 is due by May 15th so please make every effort to make this payment so we may know our class rosters.  Please contact Ms. Peters if you have any questions about the Pre-Registration amount or procedures. speters@cas.ac.ma

• Seniors - May 2020 examination: With 384 files submitted and all CAS Portfolios completed, the 2020 IB EXAMS are done! Congratulations seniors for your work which, we hope, will bring the best results! On July 6th at 1:00 PM our seniors will be able to access their results via this website: https://candidates.ibo.org/. To access it you will need to provide your PIN and personal code which will be sent to you by the IB Coordinator during this week, via individual email.

• Seniors - Sending results to University: As part of the services offered by IB, a maximum of six institutions worldwide can be selected (via the IB DP Coordinator) for free to send your IB results directly by IB, regardless of whether the results are to be sent in electronic or paper format. Of these six, no more than three institutions can be selected from Canada and the USA (of these three, only one for the USA). If you wish this service, please let me know before June 10th, 2020. For any additional request, you must submit it directly to IB via their public website at https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/assessment-and-exams/requesting-transcripts/.

• IB1 students:  The IB Deadlines calendar for 2020-2021 will be published soon. I do follow the current feedback from your teachers and I know some of you do not show up to your classes and do not complete the work. This will affect your Diploma Programme, as well as the registration to sit for the IB Diploma exams. We may be forced to change your status as IB Course Certificate candidates if you constantly miss your classes, fail your courses, and/or do not complete the required work. I sincerely hope this won't be the case.

• Grade 10 students: The online meetings are going well. By the end of next week I hope to “meet”  each one of you. Please be prepared for an open discussion understanding that the enrollment to any course is subject to approval based on your teacher's recommendation and your grades in the subject. You may need to reconsider the Universities where you want to apply or the field that you wish to study after high school based on the courses that you can take. For advice on your choices, don’t hesitate to contact our college counselor, Ms. Rana Haroun.

• For any questions related to IB don't hesitate to contact me at azamfirescu@cas.ac.ma 

During this confinement period many of us spend quite some time in the kitchen or doing some form of art.... so why not combine both? So... CAS community, anyone up for joining our Foccacia Bread Art Challenge?

It can be fun to do it together as a family or on your own! This challenge doesn’t ask for any special ingredients and can be a lot of fun to create! Whip up a tasty Italian bread that would also look creative and nice! Create your own art design from whatever ingredients you have at home and share your pictures with us for a repost! OR tag us @cas_official1973 for a repost!
