Dear CSA District Families,

At CSA, we believe that every child deserves an education that nurtures not only their academic/intellectual growth but also their social/emotional, physical/sensory, and moral/character development. This commitment to teaching the whole child is at the heart of our mission and guides the work we do each day in our classrooms, hallways, and community.

Educating the whole child means seeing each student as more than a learner of content. It means recognizing their unique strengths, interests, and potential. We strive to create learning environments where students feel safe, valued, and connected, because we know that students learn best when they feel a strong sense of belonging.

‍Connection, community, and character are essential pillars of this work.

• Connection builds trust and meaningful relationships between students, staff, and families, allowing children to feel seen and supported.
  ‍
• Community provides a sense of belonging, where students understand they are part of something bigger than themselves.
  ‍
• Character development helps students grow into kind, responsible, and empathetic individuals who contribute positively to the world around them.
  ‍

With over eight weeks of school now completed, your student’s teacher(s)/advisor are eager to meet with you for Fall Comprehensive Student Reviews (CSR). If you were unable to schedule an appointment last week, please be assured that these two days simply mark the beginning of Fall CSR meetings. Your student’s teacher(s) or advisor(s) will contact you to arrange a mutually convenient date and time in the coming weeks.

We are grateful for the vital role families play in this shared mission. A whole child education is most effective when schools and families work in close partnership to support the growth and well-being of every learner. Your involvement, encouragement, and shared commitment to whole child education strengthen the foundation of our school community.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership in this important work.

In partnership with you,
‍
Jessica Moceri
