Reach for the Stars and Watch Yourself Grow!
This year at CAS we will intentionally strengthen our learning experiences to empower all students and staff.
Every CAS learner should feel equipped to take risks and they should feel valued. Providing learning experiences that enhance their independence through voice & choice will create critical thinkers and creative innovators.
When successful, our learning community will have high quality instruction and professional capacity.
Over the past 2 years we have laid a solid foundation. 2026-27 is the time to take action & build.
Increase student, staff & parent involvement in learning plan through goal setting and achievement (Let Grow); emotional regulation/growth (Zones), and greater involvement in their learning (Project Based Learning)
