Message from the Frog Pond
Hello Cyber Families!
As the thrill of victory and the feelings of Saint Valentine fill the air this week, students at the cyber academy are getting into the nitty gritty of their new semester. Parents and guardians, please let me know if your observer accounts are working or not. I am happy to meet with you on zoom to give you a VIP tour. As a parent of a cyber student myself, I can tell you that the phrase “trust, but verify,” is an essential part of being a learning coach. Daily check-ins to your observer account will make sure your student(s) are/is doing their part.
- 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!!
