MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK
MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this week we're coming together as a community to remind every single one of our Caimans that they are loved and belong. Did you know that nearly 1 in 5 teens experience a mental health challenge, yet fewer than half receive the help they need? This week is about changing that – by breaking down stigma, building connection, and reminding each other that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
We've planned some special activities for Mental Health Awareness Week, and we'd love to see our entire PL community participate:
Tuesday, May 19th - Create a Well-Being Bag: Students will have the opportunity to create a bag with affirmations or self-care reminders that bring them comfort and joy. Sometimes the smallest things – a favorite quote, a drawing, an image – can make the biggest difference on a tough day.
Wednesday, May 20th - Boba Fundraiser: Join us for boba! All proceeds will be donated to Lifeline Community Services, an organization that provides critical mental health support to our local community. Enjoy a treat while supporting others – that's a win-win.
Thursday, May 21st - Wear Green to Show Your Support: Green is the color of mental health awareness, and wearing it is a simple way to say "I see you, I support you, and I'm here." Let's flood our campus with green and show our students they're surrounded by people who care.
Mental health matters every single day, but this week gives us a chance to pause, reflect, and remind ourselves and each other that it's okay to not be okay – and that support is always available. Whether it's reaching out to a counselor, talking to a trusted teacher, or simply checking in on a friend, small acts of care make a big difference.
Let's take care of each other, Caimans. You matter more than you know!

Absent/Tardy Procedures
If your student is going to be absent or tardy, please send an email to plcattendance@classicalacademy.com or call the attendance line at (760) 462-1585 to excuse them. Students who are excused to be tardy will then be issued a tardy pass at the front desk when they arrive.
If your student anticipates being absent from school for more than two weeks, please have them complete the Extended Absence Form and submit the completed form to the front desk at least two weeks prior to their planned absence.
Instructional Engagement
Instructional Engagement
As a California independent study school, we are required to offer optional synchronous (live) instruction opportunities for students. This provides a chance for students to connect with a credentialed teacher in real time for academic support. There is no negative impact for the student if they do not attend.
At CAHS PL, synchronous (live) instruction opportunities are offered through workshop classes, synchronous virtual courses and Monday Office Hours. If you would like more information about times available to your student, please reach out to their teacher directly.
We are required to notify families when students do not take part (lack of attendance) and encourage all students to access the available resources.
Thank you for your continued support.
