Welcome Back!

We hope that this first week of school has been wonderful for all of you.  We (CCAP) have noticed a much calmer and optimistic atmosphere.  Sure there have been some hiccups and unexpected issues, but we must say that the administration, teachers, and staff have been doing an absolutely amazing job at rolling with the punches.  Wouldn’t expect anything less from this wonderful staff!

With everything going on these last few weeks, we wanted to do a back to school review!

Dr. Dunlap started his first week on the job as our new interim. Teachers at the 7/8 grade center reported that he was extremely helpful in the final push to prepare for back to school night. Teachers also shared that he was formally introduced to the staff, he received a warm welcome of applause and a standing ovation. His welcome address to teachers came from his heart not a script, and he expressed a desire for unity to help students. Teachers shared how impressed that are with him already.

We have an open Region II school board director seat.  Since Henry Assetto, Region II candidate is already sitting on the board, CCAP reached out to the other Region II Candidate Becky Harlan to see if she would be applying for this open position. This was her statement:

"As many are aware, Ann Wuertz resigned and an open seat in Region 2 must be filled. Although my plans still include running in the formal election in November, at this time I will not be applying for the open seat.  In January, I will be able to commit my full dedication to the board, our district, and our community. Currently, my family obligations are such that it would be unfair to seek that seat at this time. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I look forward to serving our community in the future."

Last night was the August monthly board meeting that lasted only 35 minutes. Please see Channel CASD live stream or see the board agenda for the topics.

The Adopt-a-Coatesville Teacher program still has many teachers, administrators, and staff members who still need to be adopted this year.  This does NOT mean you need to spend money.  Most of our teachers tell us how valuable just a note is throughout the year with words of encouragement!    If you haven't already, please stop by and adopt a your teacher today. 

Not sure who to adopt?  Check out school lists here. 

IF you are ready to adopt, please fill out the adoption form here!

We want to let our community know what events are happening within the schools and even in our community!  CCAP tries hard to keep our Events Calendar up to date as best as we can. If we have missed an event, please feel free to reach out and contact us to let us know so we can add it!  Here are all the upcoming events in our community to look out for! Also, please direct message us on Instagram or @Coatesvillecap on twitter for us to promote school events.

Last but not least, many parents have been asking about how the district is going to roll out with Chromebooks this year.  Hopefully on Monday, you received  the morning message from your principals with a little information explaining where the district is in this process.  If you did not see it, you can see what was sent out below.  Many of us here at CCAP are actually part of the technology task force the district put together; we are working weekly to create and implement a plan.   If you would like to join in this process we meet every Wednesday at 6 pm in the administration building.
