MAKING PROGRESS TOWARDS OUR GOALS IN QUARTER 1!
MAKING PROGRESS TOWARDS OUR GOALS IN QUARTER 1!
We are nearing the end of Quarter 1 and we are so proud of the work CAHS PL students are putting into their academics this year! As a campus, our goal for students this year is:
100% of students progress through at least 80% of curriculum
We believe that all students can achieve high levels of learning if they consistently engage in their courses and submit work. We are so happy to report that we are making incredible progress towards this goal and currently 72% of CAHS PL Students are submitting work every single week. Amazing job Caimans!
We want to build on this success and will be sending out a student survey next week for each course to gain valuable insight into what is most effective and what improvements we can continue to make. Thank you for partnering with us as we continue to make progress towards reaching our goals of ensuring high levels of learning for all students!

FINAL WEEK BELL SCHEDULE
We have a special bell schedule for both the PL and Studio campuses for the final week of the quarter. It is important to note that the block schedule periods for PL are not on their usual days due to needing to align with Studio final exams and allow for PL and Studio students to continue to access all of their courses.
Attendance is expected for all students during the final week of school; if students are unable to attend class for any reason, they must reach out to their teacher and excuse the attendance by emailing plcattendance@classicalacademy.com OR calling (760) 317-9143.

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.
