CDSD Cyber Academy Teacher Spotlight!!
Mrs. Price, 2nd Grade Teacher
Chromebooks!!!!
The CDSD Cyber Academy is now requiring all CDSD Cyber Academy students to be issued a school Chromebook due to the conflicts our teachers are having with our District extensions that are automatically uploaded onto school issued computers. In addition, we are now using GoGuardian to assist our students and teachers with navigating and communicating during our live sessions. The usage of a private computer may have been working so far this year for a student, but they would potentially not accept future activities and District online extensions. We would like to ensure all of our CDSD Cyber Academy students have access to all of our resources at all times.
Requesting To Return To In-Person Learning Procedures:
The CDSD Cyber Academy would like any family requesting their student to return to in-person learning at the end of the first marking period for secondary grades, and trimester for elementary grades, to please notify the CDSD Cyber Academy Principal, Justin Newkam at jnewkam@cdschools.org by October 29, 2021.
All students in grades 6 - 12 requesting to return to in-person instruction are able to start back in the building on November 3, 2021.
All students in grades K - 5 requesting to return to in-person instruction are able to start back in the building on November 30, 2021.
