Message from the Frog Pond
I don’t think I have ever been happier to move on from a month than I was in January.
Together, we weathered the storm.
Now it is time to forge a new path forward and redouble our efforts in the second semester: Everyone can still earn credits. Everyone still has the opportunity to build meaningful connections with their teachers, peers, coursework, and other pursuits. Everyone can still learn important lessons.
I also wanted to give our families an update on how much our program has grown over the last semester. We have enrolled over one hundred new students since the start of the school year, almost doubling our population. The desire to pursue one’s own education is growing and many of you are taking advantage of your opportunities. Continue to lead the way and be examples for your peers.
In Liberty,
Frog

2024-2025 Senior Announcements
Mrs. Lewis is your college info guru!
If you are in the process of applying to college/post-secondary schools, please send Ms. Lewis an email (lewisw@casdschools.org) to let her know. She can answer any questions you have about the process, talk about schools that are appropriate for your major, etc. She has to send your official transcript to each school once you apply, so it's important that she's in the loop!

Course Requests for the Spring Semester
Students in grades 9-12 must choose new elective courses for the spring semester, which begins on January 24, 2025. A course sheet and a link to a Google doc will be emailed to your school email address in the coming days. Course requests are due no later than Monday, 1/6/25. If you do not submit course requests, courses will be chosen for you. It's critical that students in grades 9-11 maintain a full course load of 7 credits per year in order to stay on track for graduation.
Seniors, if you played your cards right, you may not need more electives to meet graduation requirements in June. Please take a minute to complete the Google doc anyway. Ms. Lewis will confirm your credits and only add the course that you need.
Thank you!!
