The purpose of this 30 minute or less check-in is to 1) Get Stingray students up and moving for their home school day 2) Share important ASB & Admin announcements for the day 3) Review the mentoring schedule for the day. We are excited to see the impact of this new programming offering.

MEAL PROGRAM: The Classical Academies is pleased to offer every student one free breakfast meal kit and/or one free lunch meal kit each day they are on campus for an educational purpose lasting longer than 2 hours. Students must sign up online. Sign up for the meal program.
Breakfast: When students arrive on campus before period 0 or 1, they will be able to choose from the available prepackaged Breakfast Kits located at the front office. Each pre-packaged Breakfast Kit includes breakfast cereal, dried fruit, applesauce or juice, graham crackers, and low-fat milk. Prepackaged shelf-stable items may vary daily.
Lunch: Students will pick up from the lunch area during the first 10 minutes of lunch only. Lunch items may include chicken salad, Wow Butter, hummus, sunflower kernels, cheese sticks, soy nuts, applesauce or juice, dried fruit, a vegetable juice blend, fava bean crisps, crackers/chips, and low-fat milk. Prepackaged shelf-stable items may vary daily.
Our meal program is available to all students, regardless of eligibility status, who are on campus for longer than two hours for an educational purpose. Please reach out to cwyrick@classicalacademy.com if you have any questions.
CHROMEBOOK CHARGING REMINDER: Please ensure your student charges their Chromebook each night. If needed, limited charging is available in study hall, where a loaner may be provided if available.
REMINDER: As a California independent study school, we are required to offer synchronous (live) instruction opportunities for students. This provides a chance for students to connect with a credentialed teacher in real time for academic support. In the 4-day program at Coastal Academy High School, synchronous (live) instruction opportunities are offered through Monday mentoring opportunities. Our independent study program offers separate synchronous touch points with teachers that can be scheduled directly with your I.S teacher. If you would like more information about times available to your student, please reach out to their advisory teacher directly.
