Dear Tiger Families,
Due to a Spectrum fiber outage, many of our schools are currently experiencing disruption of service to phones, internet, email, and Wi-Fi. Spectrum does not have an estimated time of repair at this time. If you need help, you can call the Central Administrative Office at 335-1867.
Please note: Phones ARE working at Cape Central Middle School, Terry W. Kitchen Central Junior High, and Cape Central Academy.
We apologize for any inconvenience the outages caused at our other buildings. Thank you for your time and continued support of Cape Girardeau Public Schools.

We will start the evening with tours of the CTC and light refreshments along with meet and greet time. Then, we will move into a presentation and discussion as we welcome comments from the public.
We have so much to offer and would like to gain input on future plans for our CTC and other career pathways being offered through CGPS.

Never forget. Across our school district on 9/11, our staff members are making sure students are educated about the events that happened in 2001. Mrs. Young's 4th grade class at Alma Schrader learned from their classmate, Serenity Johnson, who visited the 9/11 Memorial with her family. Mrs. Young teaches a special lesson focused on the September 11th attacks each year. Students from Cape Central High's Air Force JROTC and Student Senate hosted a special breakfast for local first responders to thank them for keeping our community safe. Through the lessons taught in class and the acts of service and thanks, our Tiger Family is making sure that we never forget.

ROAD CLOSURE FROM THE CITY:
There will be a street closure on Clark Street between Whitener and Themis starting Monday, September 11. Terry W. Kitchen Central Junior High and ECC families will still be able to drive down Whitener. Our faculty and staff will still be able to access the parking lot between the pool and the track. The only street this will impact is Clark, and it's a very small portion of the road. Hopefully, the closure will be wrapped up before the end of next week.

Ms. Stacey Chicora, a Science teacher at Cape Central High, took a group of nine CHS students to Belize in July on a STEM tour. The group worked for two years, raising money to make the trip possible. They learned so many new things on this trip and had a lasting impact on the environment. The students planted trees in a rainforest previously destroyed by a hurricane, participated in a watershed assessment, and helped with a nurdle beach cleanup. They were also able to zipline through the rainforest, snorkel along the second-largest barrier reef in the world, and take drumming lessons.
