The mission of the Center for Academic Success is to place a strong emphasis on basic skills and responsible citizenship. Technology is utilized to enhance the delivery of effective instruction. Our goal is for all students to acquire the skills necessary for success at the next level, whether that is the next grade level in school, the next course in a sequence, higher education, or the workplace. To achieve this success, we believe that our students must acquire strong literacy skills, be able to do mathematical computations at the appropriate level, and have a strong foundation in science and technology.
Students at the Center for Academic Success will also have an understanding of the concepts and principles that our great country was founded upon.
CAS students shall adhere to rules of common courtesy concerning their dealings with other students, teachers, and school staff. We are diligent in assuring that school rules are respected and followed. Students are taught to take responsibility for their actions and to understand that there are consequences for those actions. All of the adults employed by the Center for Academic Success have the right and the responsibility to correct misbehavior by any student.
High School
Welcome Back!
This new school year has started off with a bang. We have many new students and families, which we would like to welcome to our CAS family. All the staff has worked really hard getting our 9th-12th grade mind’s set for the 2011-12 school year. Parents, as we all are aware, please help in reminding our High School students that there is a "no backpack, book bag, or large purse policy." If we see a student arrive with either of these items, they will be asked to keep their belongings in Mr. Daly’s office until the end of the school day. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Mrs. Lina Castro at, 520-439-3500.
Mr. Holden and Mrs. Silverwind are co-teaching an honors English class this semester. The class will focus on literary analysis, expository, analytical and argumentative writing. Students will be reading and critiquing a variety of texts of different genres and levels of complexity. Students are accepted by teacher recommendation only.
Elementary / Middle (Kindergarten - Eighth Grade)
Welcome Back CAS Families! We have had an awesome start to the new school year.
CAS offers CAS Care which is a before and after school care program, free of charge. Be aware, that we will be asking for identification upon pick up. The Cafeteria is the main hub for the CAS Care so this is where you will go to drop-off for AM CAS Care and pick-up for After School CAS Care. You must always sign your child in and out when bringing them to the CAS Care Program.
This year we are offering a wide variety of clubs for grades K-8. Each club will accommodate each child’s skill level. The clubs will run from thirty minutes to an hour, after school. We will make sure parents have an up to date schedule of when their child’s club(s) will take place.
