Welcome back CAPS Families,

As you continue to enjoy the final summer weeks and recharge, we have been busy preparing for a great school year. Our fantastic team is excited to welcome your child(ren) back with new facility upgrades, new resources and materials, new programs, and more. We know you may have questions about the upcoming year, so please find important information and links below.

• All students will receive a welcome letter/email from his/her school with important building information. Please call your child's building if you do not receive a letter by August 21st.
