CAHS Team Update
I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to two incredible team members who will be moving on to exciting opportunities. Christy Hoffman who has served on our office team for 8 years will be joining her family business. We are very thankful for her many years of service to our team! Chedly Benattia, who has served for 10 years as a teacher, coach, and recently as our Athletic Director will be joining our sister school, Coastal Academy High, as their first ever Assistant Principal. Mr. Benattia looks to bring his experience and passion to the growing Stingray family!

Parents - Introducing... PERMISSION CLICK!
CAHS Studio will be using a digital tool called Permission Click this year to replace the numerous paper forms that require parent signatures at Gear Up. Payments can be made for the class shirt through Permission Click. ASB Cards are Free this year as well as Art class fees. There is a separate payment portal for the 20-21 Yearbook listed below. Through Permission Click, parents will answer several questions, but will only have to sign once at the end! This also allows parents to stay home on Gear Up Days and helps us minimize the number of people on campus on those days. Please click on the Permission Click Link, read and sign as soon as you are able. Parents who don't read and sign by Friday, August 14th will be called and asked to do so. At Gear Up, your student will receive paper copies of many important informational handouts and we encourage families to keep these handouts for future reference.
To order your 2020-2021 Yearbook - Yearbook Link - CAHS code is 8324
