The Cyber Scoop
CVilleCA Newsletter Issue #21 - March 18, 2025
Today I wanted to discuss distractions. Distractions can come from anywhere and anyone. When I was growing up, the older generations complained about kids watching too much T.V. What is the equivalent distraction of 2025? You guessed it, the cell phone. As a cyber student myself, I know how hard it is to ignore that modern appendage when what you are supposed to be studying is not as interesting as scrolling.
Here are some tips: Put it in a different room. Have someone hold it. Schedule yourself some breaks so you have something to look forward to. No matter what, make sure the majority of your focus is spent on your studies. We are quickly moving towards the 4th quarter of the school year. Are you setting yourself up for a strong finish?

Weekly Library Trips
See the letter below and click the link to print out and sign the permission slip:
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.

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!
