An Excellent Final MS/HS Band and Strings Spring Concert Last Monday night, the MS/HS band and strings concert took place in the theater. It was very well attended, and the quality of student music was absolutely breathtaking. Special thanks go to Mr. Robert Fedorak and Ms. Jenny Jeong for their musical direction and guidance with students. Superb Senior Project Presentations Last Wednesday, the seniors in the World Languages English classes presented their senior projects to the CAC community. The new focus of these senior projects is with service learning, and the students involved were very enthused to share their experiences to help those less privileged. Thanks to the students and all those parents who attended, and special thanks goes to Ms. Shannon Stringer for making the senior project program a success for students. Student Dress Code As the weather gets warmer, we are reminding students to wear clothing to school that is appropriate for our learning institution (modest and neat). We have asked students to review the dress code guidelines on page 19 of the High School Student Parent Handbook and to wear proper attire to CAC. Your parental help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Semester Two Grades – Available on POLAR As per last year, report cards will be sent to students and parents electronically on POLAR. These electronic report cards will be available to students and parents starting on Sunday, June 7 at 3:00 p.m. For those who require transcript hard-copies, they will be available in the high school counseling office starting on Tuesday, June 9.

If a student does not complete all end-of-year obligations, s/he will not receive a course schedule for next academic year and will not be permitted to attend classes on the first day of school in August until all items are either returned or paid for.
