The Cyber Scoop
CVilleCA Newsletter Issue #23 - April 1, 2025
Staying motivated and dealing with school related stresses, like the approaching end of year, are no joke! Humans naturally avoid anything that causes pain and seek things that give us pleasure. That is why the dopamine hits from scrolling through our phones is so tough to overcome. Our brain is happy avoiding the pain of work.
However, that pain is how you know you are getting stronger. Suffering through the difficult part of the work, makes you stronger for the rest of your life.
My advice? Embrace the work. Face the difficulties with courage and honesty.
If you do this, and treat the 4th marking period as practice, the lessons you teach yourself will go far beyond the lessons you learn from the curriculum.

Dear Cyber Parents/Guardians,
At the Coatesville Cyber Academy, we are always looking for more ways to give our students meaningful learning experiences outside the classroom, and we’re excited to share an opportunity we think they’ll love!
We’d like to take our students on a short WEEKLY walk to the Coatesville Library (501 E Lincoln Hwy, Coatesville, PA 19320)—just down the block from our school. The library offers a great space for reading, research, and quiet study and we are excited to teach our students how to use such a great resource. Each visit will last about an hour and will be fully chaperoned by our teachers.
The days will either be Tuesday or Thursday @ 10am - 11am. We may also wish to take students at random to the library. Please indicate if this is permissible by initialing BOTH lines on the slip below.
Please complete and return the slip below. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Jabraun L. - 10th Grade
Mr. DiPippa - It is a pleasure being able to work with Jabraun on a daily basis at the Drop-in Center, as it encouraging to see his motivation for learning and attaining high grades. He willingly participates in his learning, and puts forth the effort needed to do well in his classes.
Ms. Krzesinski - Jabraun has made so many incredible positive changes this semester, that it's hard to list them all. I am incredibly proud of his grit and "stickwithitness." He is a model student for those looking for how to become a successful cyber learner.
Mr. Froggatt - Jabraun is the embodiment of the growth mindset and consistency. We can always count on Jabraun to show up and be a valued member of our community. He works hard everyday at becoming a stronger reader and writer. The effort does not go unnoticed.
Mr. Hulik - Jabraun has an excellent attitude when it comes to his learning. He starts his day by checking what is on his To-do list and then shares his plan with his teachers. He works well with teachers and asks questions when he's curious.
Mrs. Fitch - Jabraun is a wonderful student and friend at the Cyber Academy! He has a smile that lights in the room and is always willing to lend a helping hand to others!
If you are going to be absent, please email your mentor teacher and add shumates@casdschools.org as well. Please use the same process for excuse notes.
If you are supposed to graduate in June 2025 but failed courses in previous years and have NOT made up those credits, you are likely not on track to meet graduation requirements. Please reach out to Ms. Lewis at lewisw@casdschools.org ASAP to discuss your credit situation and how you may still be able to earn your diploma this year. Even if you think you're on track, don't hesitate to contact Ms. Lewis to make sure!
