TECHNOLOGY USE ON CAMPUS

Beginning this school year, all CAHS students will be required to use their school-issued Chromebook while on campus rather than personal devices. We want to ensure every student has access to the same high-quality tools and resources, are working from the same operating system with the same apps and extensions, and have ongoing and immediate tech support from our trained team.

Every student will receive their Chromebook during Gear Up Day, and we're excited about the positive impact this change will have on our learning environment.

We know this represents a shift from previous years, and we appreciate your partnership as we implement this policy that will ultimately benefit all our students' learning experience. If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to support you and your student through this transition. Thank you!

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.
