HAPPY THANKSGIVING CAIMANS

Yesterday we played our annual students vs. staff Turkey Bowl and what a blast we had! Despite losing 10-0 the students showed up with so much heart and spirit and a great time was had by all (especially the victorious CAHS PL Staff). 😆 Heading into Thanksgiving Break we are incredibly grateful for our amazing students and how every single one of them makes the CAHS PL campus such an incredible place to learn a grow. What a gift! 

When we return from Thanksgiving Break we will be jumping into the next holiday and are looking forward to even more fun as we close out the year and we need your help to celebrate our amazing team this Holiday Season!  We are planning a few special events and activities for our Teachers and Staff during December.  We greatly appreciate any and all donations!  Click here to sign up - you can drop items off at the front desk any time before the event date listed.  Don't forget to log your parent volunteer hours!

We hope each of you are able to relax over the holiday break and enjoy some yummy food and time with family and friends. We look forward to seeing everyone on the other side of the break! Have a great week Caimans!

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

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.

The CAHS PL Parents & Students Academic Resources document is the most comprehensive resource for information for the 25/26 academic year. For details on schedules, calendars, academic events, course expectations and more, you can refer back to this document throughout the year!
