The Capitol School will reopen for students on Monday, May 2, 2011.
The school will be open from 7:30-5:30.
Each student will need to bring lunch, snacks, and drinks such as water. Catered/Ordered lunches will not be available.
Please call anyone you can to give them this news. Many people do not have internet services at this time. The school does not have internet. Dr. Rountree does not have internet. Phone service is sporadic. I am trying to send this out to as many as I can. If you see a parent missing from the recipients list, please forward it to him or her.
The Upper and Collegiate students will volunteer with Dr. Rodgers at the Religious Services site or another site. Dress accordingly. Capitol School t-shirts would help others identify our students as they are working.
No student will be penalized in anyway if he or she cannot get to school. We would like to help our families return to some type of normalcy in their lives and provide child care for our families who need it. We are so thankful that the families we have heard from are alive. Many have lost their homes or have severe damage. If you need help, please let us know. Many in our Capitol School family are ready to help. We just need to know what to do.
Three Elementary Schools were destroyed. We are taking donations to The Capitol School Foundation. These are tax deductible. We will use this money to help the public school teachers replace their teaching supplies that were destroyed. We will collect toiletries and small toys Monday to take to the children in the shelters.
Phaser to Stun? No, make that Vanilla!
OK, so the Chemistry students did not really have phasers in class today. What they did have were phase-changers. After studying the change in phases with the accompanying caloric/joule energy requirements, the dual-enrolled Capitol School students put their new found understanding to practical (and did we hear delicious in there?) use by phase changing crystalline dihydrogen oxide to its liquid phase without the addition of thermal energy. In lay terms: They made ice cream!!!! The student would have really like to have invited their families, but knowing that it would have been a burden for them to come to the school during their busy work day — students ate all the extra ice cream for them 
The preschool children sang in four different languages and toured over 20 country tables. They were able to hear, see, and speak different languages with native speakers. Children were also allowed to taste native dishes and enjoyed playing with toys and trying on clothes from many different cultures. The experience deepened their awareness and appreiciation for our global community.
The High School schedule and registration form for Summer Classes has been posted to the Summer Explorations 2010 page. Classes start on June 9, so get registered today!
Dual enrolled students at The Capitol School share the MIT Genetics course today with Professor Lander via internet streaming.
Students studied the historical work leading to Mendelian genetics of peas. This session is the first of three — all of which are available for students to load onto their computer or iPod.
