WEEKLY UPDATES

Week 1

Our first week will be filled with getting-to-know-you activities as we build our classroom community and learn the routines and procedures that will help us have a successful year together. New this year, students will have one Specials class each day. In addition to our 30-minute recess, we will also have an extra time during the day to head outside, move, play, and participate in organized activities together. We are looking forward to a fun first week and a great start to 3rd grade!

After School Clubs

Code Kids is a project-based after-school program at Casis Elementary for students in grades 2 through 5. Students bring their ideas to life through coding, game design, stop-motion animation, digital design, and 3D printing. Through hands-on projects, students develop creativity, problem-solving, and technology skills while creating original projects of their own.

Students can enroll in one or both programs for the 2026-2027 school year.
