Cheerleading Being a cheerleader is more than strictly cheering on the sidelines, supporting your school or taking the competition mat, aiming to impress the judges and fans. You may not realize it at the time, but the benefits of cheer will help take you into the next steps of life in a unique and amazing way. While cheerleading requires several physical skills and strengths needed to stunt, jump or tumble, there is so much personal development that allows athletes to gain practical life skills. These skills include discipline, teamwork and goal setting, all while instilling confidence. Cheerleading is greater than practices, games, community events and competitions that fill your schedule – it’s about developing the best version of yourself and allowing you to seek for your greatest potential. 1/4 Cheer Sponsors Kaylee Singleton HS Sponsor ksingleton@cayugaisd.com Christi Baker MS Sponsor cbaker@cayugaisd.com Important Information Homecoming Info

Technology CISD Technology Cayuga ISD Technology Department is committed to enhancing student engagement in the classroom through the effective use of tools such as Chromebooks and other digital resources. By integrating technology into daily learning, we aim to make lessons more interactive, collaborative, and accessible for all students. In addition to supporting student learning, our team works closely with teachers to provide training, resources, and hands-on assistance, ensuring they feel confident and empowered to use technology as a powerful teaching tool. Together, we strive to create a dynamic learning environment that prepares students for success in an increasingly digital world. Eric Grimes Technology Director egrimes@cayugaisd.com Laurie Jordan Informational Technologist ljordan@cayugaisd.com Krista Grimes Website Design/Social Media kgrimes@cayugaisd.com Chromebooks Technology In the Classroom Technology Around the Campus Student Chromebooks At Cayuga ISD, Chromebooks have become an essential tool in fostering an engaging, modern learning environment for all students. By providing access to a wide range of educational resources, interactive lessons, and collaborative platforms, Chromebooks help bridge the gap between traditional learning and the digital world. They empower students to take charge of their own education, allowing them to research, create, and share ideas with ease. Whether used for accessing online textbooks, participating in virtual labs, or collaborating on group projects, Chromebooks ensure that students have the tools they need to succeed in today’s technology-driven world. Beyond supporting core academics, Chromebooks open doors for creativity and innovation at Cayuga ISD. Students can design presentations, produce multimedia projects, code applications, and explore artistic expression through digital tools. This technology fosters not only productivity but also problem-solving and critical-thinking skills that prepare students for future careers. With Chromebooks, learning extends beyond the walls of the classroom, encouraging exploration, self-motivation, and a deeper connection to the content. By integrating Chromebooks into daily instruction, Cayuga ISD is equipping students with the skills and confidence to thrive in the 21st century. Technology Around the Campus At Cayuga ISD, campus safety is a top priority, and technology plays a vital role in ensuring a secure environment for all students, staff, and visitors. The district has implemented advanced security camera systems throughout the campus to provide real-time monitoring and detailed video coverage. These cameras not only help deter potential safety concerns but also allow staff to quickly respond to incidents when they occur. With this proactive approach, Cayuga ISD is able to maintain a safe, welcoming atmosphere where students can focus on learning. In addition to surveillance, Cayuga ISD uses access-controlled doors and remote-operated gates to further enhance campus security. Access-controlled entry points ensure that only authorized personnel can enter certain areas, adding an extra layer of protection for classrooms, offices, and other key spaces. The remote gates for bus parking provide a secure area for transportation vehicles, helping to safeguard both equipment and staff. Together, these technologies create a comprehensive safety system that supports the district’s commitment to providing a secure and efficient learning environment for the entire school community. Technology in the Classroom At Cayuga ISD, technology in the classroom is designed to enhance both teaching and learning, making lessons more dynamic, interactive, and effective. Teachers now have access to 65-inch TVs, providing crisp, vibrant visuals that capture students’ attention and bring lessons to life. Paired with document cameras, educators can display books, worksheets, science experiments, and student work in real time, ensuring every student has a clear view and can follow along. These tools replace traditional projectors with a more reliable, user-friendly, and engaging setup that supports a variety of instructional styles. By integrating these technologies into daily instruction, Cayuga ISD teachers can create more personalized and interactive learning experiences. The large displays allow for seamless use of digital resources, educational videos, and online tools, while document cameras encourage hands-on demonstrations and collaborative problem-solving. This combination not only boosts student engagement but also supports different learning styles, ensuring every student can participate fully. With these innovations, Cayuga ISD is committed to equipping classrooms with the tools needed to inspire curiosity, foster collaboration, and prepare students for a future where technology is a central part of learning and life.

Special Programs Special Programs Cayuga ISD offers specialized services to support students who qualify. The programs in place are intended to support and improve learning opportunities for diverse learners and/or students with disabilities in accordance with state, federal, and local policies and procedures. As a result of these efforts, students are able to participate in a broader number of activities and achieve the highest of expectations. Special Programs in Cayuga ISD include: Special Education Dyslexia Section 504 Homebound Response to Intervention/Multi-Tiered System of Support Emergent Bilingual Gifted and Talented Homeless/McKinney-Vento Act Becky Thompson Special Program Director bthompson@cayugaisd.com Please click on the buttons below for more information about these programs or scroll further down to find links to informative websites and documents from outside sources. Special Education Section 504 Homebound RtI/MTSS Emergent Bilingual Gifted and Talented Homeless/McKinney-Vento Act Dyslexia Special Education Cayuga ISD participates in the *Anderson County Special Education Cooperative (ACSEC) to provide special education services to students who qualify under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). To qualify for services under IDEA, students must first undergo a Full and Individual Initial Evaluation (FIIE), a process that involves cognitive and achievement testing administered at the school by an educational diagnostician. School staff are required to monitor the progress of all students and initiate an FIIE when a qualifying condition under IDEA is suspected. However, if a parent suspects his or her child has a disability that impacts the child’s learning, a parent-written request for a Full and Individual Initial Evaluation (FIIE) to the campus principal, the child’s teacher, or the district special programs coordinator can be made. Once an FIIE is initiated by school personnel or by written request from the parent, the ACSEC is immediately notified and evaluation personnel proceed within *mandated timelines to conduct the FIIE. For more information about special education services in the school setting and to access numerous parent and family resources, visit SPEDTex.org . Homebound In some cases, students suffer from an illness or injury that causes excessive absences. The Student Attendance Accounting Handbook (SAAH) and Board Policy EEH (LOCAL) provide procedures for facilitating a homebound educational experience in such situations. The parent or guardian of a student who may become confined at home or hospital bedside for a minimum of four weeks as a result of an accident or illness should contact the child’s campus principal and/or the 504 Coordinator to schedule an initial evaluation meeting to determine whether or not homebound services can be considered. Section 504 To qualify for services under Section 504, a student must be determined to: have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; or have a record of such an impairment; or be regarded as having such an impairment. Consideration for a Section 504 Plan with accommodations can be initiated by school personnel or by the parent and should be requested in writing to the campus Principal, Counselor, or the Special Programs Coordinator. Once the request is received, a committee meeting, consisting of those who have insight into how the child’s impairment affects him/her in the educational setting, will convene. Based on a review of school and/or medical records and teacher/ parent input, the committee will determine if a plan consisting of accommodations is required in order for the student to access and benefit from learning opportunities commiserate with his/her non-disabled peers. The *504 Guide published on the Texas Education Agency website, is a great resource for more detailed information on Section 504 Services in the school setting. Response to Intervention/ Multi-Tiered System of Support Multi-Tiered System of Supports or MTSS , encompasses support for a child in the classroom and takes into account academic, behavioral, and social/emotional needs. Response to Intervention, or RtI , is a tiered process within MTSS , used for the early identification and support of students with academic, behavioral and social emotional needs. The RTI process begins with high-quality instruction and universal screening of all children in the general education classroom. Struggling students are provided with interventions at increasing levels of intensity to accelerate their rate of learning. Progress is closely monitored by a team of educators familiar with the child’s educational experiences, the RtI committee. Decisions about the intensity and duration of interventions are based on individual student’s response to instruction and reviewed through the RtI committee on each campus. For more information about RtI/MTSS, you may contact your campus principal or the district special programs coordinator or visit TEA Response to Intervention Emergent Bilingual Emergent Bilingual (EB) services provide support to students who are identified as English Language Learners based on information provided on the student’s Home Language Survey, which is completed as part of a child's initial school enrollment documentation. More information about EB services including resources for teachers, parents and families of Emergent Bilingual Students, and community partners. can be found at the Emergent Bilingual Student Web Portal Homeless/McKinney-Vento Act The education provisions of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Act (incorporated within No Child Left Behind) ensure educational rights and protections for homeless and unaccompanied children/youth.The McKinney-Vento Act defines homeless children/youth as individuals lacking a fixed, regular, adequate night-time residence, including: children/youth who share housing with others because of loss of housing, economic hardships or a similar reason; live in motels, trailer parks or campgrounds because of lack of alternative adequate accommodations; live in emergency or transitional shelters; are abandoned in hospitals children/youth who have primary night-time residence in a place not designed for or ordinarily used as regular sleeping accommodation (e.g., cars, parks, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations or similar settings) migratory children who live in conditions described above The McKinney-Vento Act specifies and protects the rights of children and youth in homeless situations. Highlights include: Immediate Enrollment: No child will be denied access to school because of their immigration status, temporary living situation, emergency placement by Child Protective Services or similar hardship situation. Transportation: To and from the school of origin if feasible, in the student's best interest and requested by the parent, guardian or unaccompanied youth. Services: Students may receive emergency clothing, work uniforms, school supplies, personal hygiene items or other supplies and services needed. Dispute Resolution: If problems arise between the school and parents or between districts, the parent shall be referred to the district's homeless liaison and the student must remain in school.

It is a major contributor to fatal and nonfatal overdoses in the U.S.1 There are two types of fentanyl: pharmaceutical fentanyl and illegally made fentanyl. Both are considered synthetic opioids. Pharmaceutical fentanyl is prescribed by doctors to treat severe pain, especially after surgery and for advanced-stage cancer.However, most recent cases of fentanyl-related overdose are linked to illegally made fentanyl, which is distributed through illegal drug markets for its heroin-like effect. It is often added to other drugs because of its extreme potency, which makes drugs cheaper, more powerful, more addictive, and more dangerous.
