CAYA Homework Cafe
The Homework Cafe consists of reserved quiet space for students to get homework
completed, with tutors available to assist the students. The Cafe is open, Monday
through Thursday, 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Special Academic Hour
- Spelling Power - Occurs weekly. Students are given 20-30 vocabulary words
and definitions. Different techniques are used to encourage kids to memorize,
understand, spell and use the words in sentences.
- Creative Writing - Occurs weekly. This program has been designed to challenge
students to use their thinking power and put their thoughts on paper in an
orderly manner. This program also allows them to share things on their minds
and just to express themselves. Ultimately through this program their writing
skills should improve.
- Reading- A special program is being designed for CAYA students, which will
be availabe in October. With this program we'll be able to evaluate each students'
current reading level so we'll be able to support getting them to the level
they should be. It's our goal to make reading fun and adventurous for all
students.

WASL and SAT Prep
New this year is CAYA's WASL and SAT prep classes. Test scores for both of
these benchmark exams show that, in general, Central Area students score below
state and national averages. In fact in some years the differences are quite
large. We at CAYA want to turn the tide. We offer comprehensive tutorials to
prepare students prior to the exams.
