MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
CAIS Students and Families:
I want to share an important update as we prepare for the start of Semester 2. Schedules for students in grades 8–12 will be shared with students tomorrow during 5th period, and they are now available for families and students to view in StudentVUE.
If a student believes a schedule change is needed, they may submit a request using this schedule change request form. We will review requests as efficiently as possible. Please note that priority for schedule changes is given to students in order of academic year with seniors given first choice for changes. All schedule change requests must be made by Monday, February 9th.
As we move through the final stretch of the semester, I encourage all students to stay focused, take pride in their work, and finish the term strong. The final day of Semester 1 is Wednesday, January 28th.
Thank you to our families for your continued support, partnership, and encouragement of our students!
Mike Stead
Principal - CAIS

Girls Who Code’s Pathways Summer Program Enrollment is Open!
Students can apply by February 25th for priority consideration. The application closes on April 10th.
Pathways is a free, virtual program that empowers high school girls and non-binary students of all experience levels — including rising 9th graders, graduating seniors, and returning participants — to explore AI, Game Design, Cybersecurity, and more, while learning how to build tech for good. The program is entirely flexible in how participants choose to learn and requires no prior coding experience. Students complete courses at their own pace over seven weeks, from June 29 to August 14.
Beyond coding, students gain real-world insights through Partner Events with leading tech organizations, connect with peers through Girls Who Code’s private Discord community, and join optional Student Hours for live support. Participants earn a certificate for each completed course and join Girls Who Code’s lifelong alumni network, gaining access to mentorship, internships, and career opportunities in tech.
