Middle School Principal’s Letter

Dear Parents,

Thank you for taking the time to read this week’s News and Views. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our students, teachers, and parents for a tremendous first semester.

As 2025 has been a year of change and transition at CAC, particularly for our new families, we are deeply grateful for your patience and flexibility as you navigated the CAC community.

Change is rarely seamless, and your understanding has mattered more than you may realise. As we close the year, we wish you a restful and well-deserved break, and we thank you for being part of CAC and for the care and commitment you bring to the home–school partnership.

As we move into the new year, we remain committed to better supporting our students and continuing to strengthen their learning experience.

We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Courtney

As we head into winter break, the PTO wants to share a huge THANK YOU to you, our amazing community. Your support, time, and energy have made 2025 a truly wonderful year for our students and staff. We hope your break is filled with relaxation, tradition, and wonderful memories with family and friends.

Looking Ahead: The International Festival

We are already buzzing with excitement for the new year! We have big plans for community building in 2026, starting with our favorite tradition: the International Festival.

We want you to be a part of it! This is a chance for families to share the traditions, flavors, and performances that make their heritage special. Whether you’d like to host a food tasting table, perform a traditional dance, or display art from your home country, we need your help to make it shine.
