Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year
Today's arrival for the first student day went extremely well! Parents - please be reminded that there are two parent drop off locations (the farmhouse lot for grades 10-12 and the CAIHS parking lot via Red Raider Road for grades 8-9). Student drivers should plan to access the student lot by using 11th Avenue (by Scott Field) then Red Raider Road. The road onto campus by the farmhouse lot will be closed by Police promptly at 7am and only bus traffic will be permitted at that time. We are excited to have our students back in the building with us and looking forward to a great year! Please note that the building does not open for students until 7:05am. This is for supervision purposes so if your child is being dropped off please be aware that he/she will need to wait until 7:05am to enter.
Last week our faculty returned to the building in preparation for the new school year. On Monday, our Superintendent of Schools, Dr. VanVooren, kicked off the new year with elementary and secondary teams of teachers and administrators facing off in a Family Feud style game. In addition to that, the district is grateful to have had John Krownapple speak to introduce an area of focus in the CASD - creating a cluture of belonging through dignity. Monday afternoon brought the CASH teachers together to learn about one another through a series of activities led by our Administrators and teacher led activities such as Mr. Gabe Hughes and Mrs. Deby Herman with outlining our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and Mrs. Claypoole introducing the planned student council events. Please click on the link below to view our PBIS Principles of Respect, Ownership, Courage and Kindness and expectations of each throughout the building via our PBIS Matrix.

Back To School Night 2024-2025
There was also a presentation to all prospective student-athletes and their families where expectations of student-athletes and families were discussed as well as sportsmanship information and medical warnings provided. Please click the link below of the presentation if not able to attend. A special thank you to our Director of Athletics/Activities, Ms. Lisa Luciani and Certified Athletic Trainer, Mr. Jack Bixler, for the presentation.
Our faculty did a phenomenal job with leading students and parents through introductions to themselves and their individual classes. The night provided a snapshot into the daily life of our students as well as an overview of the classes and the curriculum. (see some of the photo gallery of that night)
