Dear CAH families,
In grateful partnership,
Samantha Martinez
Principal, Coastal Academy High School
We are excited to announce that we are looking for a Robotics Coach to help lead and inspire our student robotics team this upcoming season! This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with students and has an interest in engineering, robotics, coding, technology, or problem-solving.
The program runs from September through February and includes after-school practices, weekend tournaments, and community outreach events. The ideal candidate may already have experience with robotics, programming, or engineering, but we are also open to individuals who are eager to learn and grow alongside our students. Parent volunteers will also help support the program.
We are looking for someone who can encourage teamwork, leadership, creativity, and innovation while helping students develop valuable STEM skills in a fun and competitive environment.
If you, or someone you know, may be interested in learning more about this opportunity, please reach out to us. We would love to connect with passionate individuals who want to make a positive impact on students through robotics and STEM education!
Are you interested in robotics, coding, engineering, design, marketing, or just being part of an exciting team? Coastal Academy High School’s FTC Robotics Team (#31622) is looking for new student members for the upcoming season!
Students have the opportunity to design, build, code, compete, and collaborate while gaining real-world STEM experience and leadership skills. Whether you are interested in programming autonomous robots, engineering and fabrication, or helping with marketing and outreach, there is a place for you on the team. No experience is needed — just curiosity, teamwork, and a willingness to learn!
The robotics season runs from September through February and includes after-school practices, competitions, outreach events, and plenty of opportunities to build friendships and have fun along the way. Reach out if you are interested in joining the Rayvolution! Interest Form HERE

COMMUNITY FOOD ASSISTANCE:
Through USDA's summer meal programs, approved sites in communities across the country can serve meals to kids up to age 18 at no cost, regardless of the school they normally attend. Visit San Diego County Summer 2026 Meal Sites for Students to view a list of summer meal sites in your neighborhood. Please contact the site directly for more information.
Please also visit these other community resources:
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. 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.
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.
We want to partner to create meaningful and fun opportunities to foster a connected Stingray community, support our dedicated staff, and enrich our children’s high school experience.
Good luck to our students on their last tests of the school year!
