"CFA and CAP: Making a difference through Partnerships"
The Caldwell Freshman Academy was thrilled to be part of the P-16 program through the involvement in CAP (College Aspirations Project). Since its conception, Mrs. Hensman, CFA Science teacher and CAP advisor, has met daily with a selective group of students who comprise the Caldwell Freshman Academy CAP Club. Mrs. Hensman leads her CAP students to learn about themselves, their own goals and aspirations in life and also how to realize those goals and aspirations. Last week, the Caldwell Freshman Academy CAP club got a unique opportunity. The fifteen CAP students got to meet with the Leadership Group of Caldwell to sit one-on-one with an adult to interview one individual about their high school experiences, what their profession is and how they were able to become who they are today. The Leadership Group of Caldwell meets monthly to discuss a specific topic. This month the Leadership Group’s focus is education. The group has met with the P-16 director Al Obayuwana and Al worked with Mrs. Hensman to allow CAP and the leadership group to come together. The Caldwell Freshman Academy students thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity and had many “take-aways” from the experience. Mrs. Hensman stated that “the most impressive take away for me was that every single student was highly engaged. This was an enjoyable experience for the students to just talk with an adult… I was so proud of them [CAP students], for taking a risk and trying something new. This was fun for them and yet very meaningful. I know this will be a memory for them to look back on.” The Caldwell Freshman Academy CAP club is looking forward to further work with the Caldwell Leadership Group, college tours, a tour of the Mountain Home Air Force Base and working on their own career/college path. |

Superintendent Rosandick's Message to Caldwell Parents and Guardians
Dear parent/guardian: You may be aware of rumors circulating in many valley schools regarding possible incidents at schools occurring tomorrow, the last day in the Mayan calendar. Be assured that these rumors are unsubstantiated and have been determined as such with the assistance of law enforcement. Therefore, school tomorrow will proceed as scheduled. If for any reason your child is not in attendance tomorrow, please contact the school and excuse their absence. Thank you |

This Thursday... Parent Teacher Conferences
The 2nd Block Caldwell Freshman Academy parent teacher conferences will be held at CFA from 3:30-7:30pm. Parents are encouraged to bring their CFA student to conferences with them. Do you need an appointment? No. Conferences are "arena-style" and will be held in the lunch room. Arena-style means that parents show up and meet with their child's teachers when they arrive. No need for an appointment. What if I can't attend on Thursday, but I would like to meet with my child's teachers? Please call CFA and we will most likely be able to arrange a meeting time that will work with your schedule. 649-1123. What if I only want to see my child's grades? Progress reports will be printed Thursday at 3:00pm. If you would like to stop by CFA to pick up the progress report and not stay for conferences that is fine. Also, progress reports will be sent home with students on Friday. If seeing your child's grades often is important to you, please call and ask us how you can check your child's grades online 24/7. 649-1123. |
