Our SPOTlight parent group had an amazing night on Saturday night for the 8th grade students. Students participated in many events such as a dance party, movie night, cornhole, ping pong, can jam, pop a shot and picture taking opportunities. Thank you for putting on such a great event.

Summer Reading Info For Students Entering Grades 6-12

The district is requiring all students entering grades 6-12 to complete a required summer reading assignment. Each student is being asked to read one book from their grade-specific list and complete a follow up activity (one-pager in grades 6-8, writing prompt in grades 9-12). The assignment will be graded.

In grades 6-8, reading lists align with the first thematic unit in each grade level to help build background knowledge and support comprehension. Students in grades 9-12 will be able to choose a title from the Reading Olympics High School Book List 2022. Students will be given the summer reading assignment in class during the week of 5/23. E-book and/or audio versions of several of the texts will be available for free via Mackin Library.

A hard copy of the assignment will be given to each student, posted to their English teacher's CANVAS page, and posted to the district website (see Educational Services tab).

The district is also sponsoring a social media campaign, #CASDLovesToRead22. The district is asking its students to show off the books that they love all summer long. For additional information, see the attached flyer.

The district is also challenging every K-8 student to meet their weekly unit target on Lexia at least 6 times over the summer to help maintain and/or improve reading skills. Students that meet this challenge will receive a special reward when they return to school in the fall. For additional information, see the attached flyer.

Congratulations to this week's ROCK prize winners! Brian Myers, Abigail Camale, Megan Campos, Eden Viola, and Hector Ibanez-Hernandez. Keep up the great work!

CAIHS Families,

Below are the dates for the upcoming Keystone Testing this week. This year only students who are assigned to take the yearly exams will be coming to school that day. The students who are not assigned to take a test that day will have a virtual day. They are expected to complete the assignments on their Teachers Canvas page. For example, when 8th grade is taking the PSSA test the 9th grade students will be at home on a virtual school day. Each student will be notified what days they are to attend for testing. The only day that all students will come to school is the day of the Keystone Literature test, because we only have a few students taking the exam.

May 16: Keystone Literature Section 1 and 2 (All 8th and 9th grade students will be in school this day)

May 17: Keystone Algebra Section 1 and 2

May 19: Keystone Biology Section 1 and 2
