Camas Alternative Program
The goal of the Camas Alternative Program (CAP) is to reach those
students who are at risk for failure and drop out by providing an
alternative method of imparting instruction and course work necessary
for high school completion.
The program offers three enrollment options:
- Full-time: students who attend all day or only the CAP program
- Part-time: students who attend half of the day at CHS and the
other half at CAP
- Independent Study: students who are required to be in class a
minimum of one hour weekly and log 24 hours at home
Expected outcomes include:
- Improving WASL performance
- Improving graduation rate
- Improving ability to meet Adequate Yearly Progress as part of
the No Child Left Behind Act
- Decreasing discipline statistics
- Producing students who are better prepared to be contributing
and successful citizens of the community
- Meeting the mission of the district which is to provide the students
with the abilities to communicate effectively, reason, be self confident,
possess mental and physical health, and work effectively with others
