Caprock Academy March Core Virtue: Graciousness “Politeness, Kindness, Courtesy”
Spring is upon us. After a long, dark winter, and the Willows beginning to turn green, this is an excellent time to remind ourselves to be Gracious to each other and allow ourselves some well-deserved Grace.
The end of the 3rd quarter is near, parent teacher conferences are complete, and spring vacation is right around the corner. Spring sports are just beginning with many Caprock students participating at Caprock Academy or other high schools’ athletic programs. If you get the chance, get out on a Saturday afternoon, enjoy some sunshine, and cheer for the Caprock Academy Eagle track team.
For the first time ever, Caprock Academy is sending a group of 6th graders (36 students) to the Outdoor Wilderness Lab (OWL) program at Gateway Community School in Gateway, Colorado. Surrounded by Unaweep Canyon and next to the Dolores River, the OWL program is outdoors, with an environmental emphasis, providing experiential learning activities in our Western Colorado setting. It is a 2-night trip, and this unique program has earned a great reputation with 6th grade students and families from all over the region. Congratulations to all students that are able to attend and a big thank you to middle level Dean of Students, Lindsay Clayton, her staff, and the parent chaperones that are able to make this experience happen for our students.
After we get back from Spring Vacation begins the busiest and most enjoyable part of the school year. Caprock Academy has year-end musical events, academic next level transition events, and school social events culminating in graduation celebrating the Caprock Academy class of 2024. Commencement Ceremonies will be held outdoors on the south athletic field at 9:00 a.m. on May 23rd, 2024.
Please remember that daylight saving time is here, which means the student drop off time is darker again at 7:15 a.m. Please drive safely.
Come in for a cup of coffee and visit anytime!
