Dear CAPS Families,
The first day of school is here, and we are thrilled to welcome our Vikings—both new and returning—back for another year of learning, growth, and adventure! Thank you for entrusting us with your children. We are proud to partner with you in their education.
As we embark on this Viking voyage, here are a few important updates and reminders:
Important first-day information is coming home with students. Please take a few minutes to review these materials.
Join CAPS staff and our community for a thoughtful discussion beginning September 4th at 6:30 PM at the Mackinaw Trail Middle School Cafeteria. Together, we’ll explore the challenges of raising children in the age of technology and social media.
Registration is open for students in 3rd–8th grade! This is a fantastic opportunity for enrichment, connection, and fun beyond the school day.
Best of luck to our Viking athletes as they start their fall seasons—your hard work and dedication set the tone for a great year ahead.
