CAST STEM Principal's Weekly Update
October 8, 2021
CAST STEM families,
What a beautiful day! Seniors started their day together at Senior Sunrise - it was a glorious sunrise. We are so proud of their success. SAT Day is Wednesday, October 13th! FAFSA is open and it is time to complete FAFSA/TAFSA. Thank you to San Antonio Education Partnership for working one-on-one with seniors.
Our Juniors spent their day prepping for the PSAT with GEAR UP. PSAT Day is Wednesday, October 13th!
WORLD TEACHER DAY: I'd like to recognize all of our facilitators and staff for a fantastic first 6 weeks of school. Facilitators encourage students to achieve their best level of success, complete assignments in a timely manner, and focus on success in college, career and military goals!
Monday, October 11th is a student holiday and staff workday. Palo Alto College Dual Credit scholars DO have class on Monday. Good luck to College Algebra scholars - TEST MONDAY!
Have a great weekend!
In gratitude,
Ravae V. Shaeffer
Proud Principal, CAST STEM HS
