PowerSchool App Update

If you are a user of the PowerSchool app to track student grades and attendance, it will be necessary to update your app to the latest version. This will entail deleting the app and reinstalling. When you do so, the district code is CBKZ. Your parent login for the app is the same as your login for doing school forms.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

It is Time to Take Flight

"What flying teaches you is to overcome fear with knowledge"

Oliver Smithies

After nearly two-hundred years of teaching and grading that truly has not changed, it is time to reset the new American high school. With the new state standards that are aligned with our student’s graduation tests, we must bring those standards to the forefront of teachers, students and parents. We are well aware that students across the country are more disengaged and distracted, failing, feeling hopeless and need school leaders to take a hard look at educational change.

Our “flight of passage, utilizing Priority Standards and Proficiency Scales has transformed our school and moved the academic needle while providing hope and emotional support in a more personalized high school. We have developed a framework to improve academic performance, reduce failures, increase student engagement, and build a system for school improvement. We are helping schools across the country and we will provide our teachers with the methods, skills, and takeaways to build our successes beginning with 9^th grade this year. Schools today are faced with far too many standards for students to truly master. We have developed priority standards and proficiency scales across disciplines in a research-based system. Whether you are a teacher, a student or a parent, please join us as we launch our school on a passage of transformation. This flight is for you! All aboard!
