At CASD, we are aware that a local cyber charter school is trying to capitalize on the fact that our Cyber Academy is changing. So, to set the record straight for our families -- the Coatesville Cyber Academy is NOT closing. We are simply transitioning to a new hosting platform through an exciting partnership with Brandywine Virtual Academy (BVA) and the Chester County Intermediate Unit.
Students enrolled in the program will remain part of the Coatesville Area School District family and will graduate with a CASD-issued diploma. Students will also continue to have the opportunity to participate in district athletics, clubs, and extracurricular activities.

Learning History Through Experience
Students from the Historic Research and Preservation Course at Coatesville Area Senior High School recently traveled to National September 11 Memorial & Museum to deepen their understanding of the events of September 11, 2001.
The visit also highlighted Coatesville’s connection to history, as steel from the former Lukens Steel Mill was used in the foundation of the Twin Towers. Students will continue that learning experience later this month with a visit to the National Iron and Steel Heritage Museum to see the steel tridents returned to Coatesville in 2010.
Thank you to The Parkesburg Point and Dwayne Walton for helping support this meaningful opportunity for our students.

A Colorful Addition at Rainbow
Last week, the Rainbow Garden Club spent time painting rocks, and once they were dry, students in Miss Adamski’s 2nd grade class and Dr. Chrisman’s kindergarten classes worked together to turn them into a beautiful rainbow display at the front of the school.
The colorful creation is a wonderful example of teamwork, creativity, and school pride. Isn’t it beautiful?

Learning Comes to Life in Kindergarten!
Kindergarten students in Mrs. Pandosh’s class at King's Highway Elementary explored the concept of living vs. nonliving in a fun, hands-on way.
Using both real, wiggly worms, and their sweet gummy counterparts, students compared, observed, and discovered what makes something truly “alive.” Curiosity and excitement filled the classroom as learning came to life!
