Middle School Principal’s Letter
Dear Parents,
Thank you for reading this week’s version of the News and Views. This week, you had the opportunity to come and meet with your children’s teacher and learn firsthand how they are doing and what they will need to do to end the year on a high.
We are truly grateful to the over 90% of parents who attended the conferences. Your active involvement demonstrates your deep care and commitment. Your partnership with our teachers is invaluable in guiding your child to excel both academically and socially. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
The remaining 45 days of the school year are crucial for your child’s academic progress and preparation for the next grade level. We are here to ensure they make the most of this time. As some of our students transition to high school and families move on, please know that our support for you and your child remains steadfast.
In grade seven, geography students are learning about Urban Planning. For their culminating assessment, they worked in groups on How Can We Incorporate Sustainable Design Principles Into Urban Planning.
The students are researching their Ted Talk topics in grade eight social studies.
I am eagerly looking forward to the Coffee Morning next Wednesday, April 3rd at 8:15am in room 115. This is a valuable opportunity for us to connect, share experiences, and strengthen our school community. Your presence is highly valued, and we hope to see everyone there.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continuous support of the middle school. Your involvement and support are instrumental in creating a nurturing and enriching environment for our students. Thank you for being such wonderful partners in your child’s education journey.
In Partnership,
Courtney Bailey
The Middle School Principal

Support Mothers and Babies in Need!
During this Ramadan season, let’s come together to make a difference in the lives of mothers and babies in our community.
The Caritas Organization in Egypt is dedicated to providing medical visits for mothers who lack the means to do so for their babies.
To support this cause, we’re collecting donations to create goodie bags for these mothers to take home after their visits.
Simply drop off your donations in the red box located at CAC’s front gate (March 26 – April 7).
Your generosity will make a meaningful impact on the lives of these families. Let’s show our support and compassion during this special time of giving.

Tuesday Programs
Dear Parents,
The CAC Swim School staff welcomes your children to the Learn-to-Swim Program.
Learn-To-Swim
The Learn-To-Swim program is for new or beginner to intermediate-level swimmers ages 3 years old and up to help them improve their swimming skills and water safety knowledge. It’s a great program for swimmers who are not yet ready for the swim team but still want to be involved in swimming activities. Learn-to-swim classes begin at 3:25 pm and end at 4:15 pm.
A few items to bring to your attention :
- Classes are held every Tuesday from March 19th- May 14th, 2024.
- If your child normally rides the bus, please communicate with the Transportation Department about any changes. There is no ASA bus service on Tuesday.
- There are no lessons on early release days.
- Program fees are $90 for the 9-week session.
Children are not allowed on campus unsupervised after the school day. Parents are responsible for dropping in and picking up their children at the pool area for the class.
Thank you for your involvement as we strive to make your children’s learning-to-swim process enjoyable and safe.
