Good Morning CAIHS Families,

Last week all families for the Coatesville Area School District in grades 6 through 12 received notification from transportation that their morning bus schedules will change after the holiday break. On Monday, January 3, 2022, we will be eliminating transfer buses for morning bus runs for grades 6 - 12.

We’re hopeful that this change will also mean that all of our buses across all grades are more likely to run on time. However, it’s important to remember that we are still experiencing a nationwide bus driver shortage, made worse by pandemic quarantines. This does have a significant impact on our local bus schedules.

During the first two weeks of the new bus schedules, January 3 through 17, we do expect morning delays as everyone adapts to new schedules and even some new bus stops that are necessary because of the changes. We appreciate the patience of our students and parents. Public students may access new bus schedules in our Home Access Center, while non-public and charter students should contact their school. You may also contact transportation at: 610-466-2400, Option 2 or schoolbus@casdschools.org with questions.

Please check your email, mailbox and the Home Access Center to get your new morning bus schedule!

Please remember that all students start First Period at 7:25 and students that enter the building after that are marked late. Parents please make sure that you are dropping off your students before 7:25.

Join us as CAIHS 8-9 "Center-Stage" Drama Club presents "Bah Humbug" on December 13th and 14th, 2021. Come welcome the holiday season with a true "timeless" classic told with a nontraditional peppermint twist. Our production is filled with lavish Victorian costumes, an amazing holiday trimmed set, lilting familiar carols all guaranteed to put you in the holiday "spirit". Tickets available at the theatre door are $5.00. Please remember to wear a mask. Curtain not at midnight but 7:00 PM. Hope you can join us!

Congratulations to last weeks ROCKS winners!
