Back to School Night (BTSN)
We were happy and excited to see so many parents in attendance at last night’s BTSN event. It was pleasing to see so many of our parents in attendance taking advantage of the opportunity to establish a productive partnership with teachers this year. We hope that the event was informative and interesting and will welcome any feedback you have to share. Please complete this quick survey to share your thoughts.
High School Parent Coffee – Wed 6 Sept, 9:30 a.m. HS Meeting Room
We are looking forward to welcoming you to the first Parent Coffee of the year on Wednesday. We will present a general overview of the big picture of learning and programs at CAC as well as discussing the importance of parent partnership, emphasizing ways that parents can be engaged and involved in their child’s high school experience. We will also introduce our homeroom and counseling programs and showcase some things that are coming up this year to look forward to. Of course, there will also be time to socialize with other parents and ask the HS admin team questions. I hope you will be able to join us.
