Happy Friday, Tigers!
We hope you had a fantastic first week. We're so glad to have everyone back!
We’re excited to launch something new: CT Friday Fab 3.
Each week, we’ll highlight three great things happening in our school family in a short video. This idea has been brought to life by Jas Dickey, a former Cape Central High Tiger, SkillsUSA Nationals medalist, and now our video intern. 🎥 You may have seen her on a billboard around town for her SkillsUSA medal!
🌟 CT Friday Fab 3
1. Welcome Back!
Thank you to everyone for making our first week a success.
2. Exploring Careers with Scouting America
A new partnership gives students hands-on opportunities through field trips and the Exploring Program, connecting them with real-world careers.
3. Advanced Welding at CTC
Our new state-of-the-art welding facility lets students train locally in Welding I, II, and Advanced Welding—no long drives required! Explore more programs in the CTC Opportunity Catalog.

Due to a Spectrum fiber outage, many of our schools are currently experiencing disruption of service to phones, internet, email, and Wi-Fi. Spectrum does not have an estimated time of repair at this time. The phone lines in the main offices at schools are working, but please be patient as you call.
If you cannot get through to the main office at your student’s school and need to relay a message, you can call the Central Administrative Office (CAO) at 335-1867.
Thank you!

We apologize for any inconvenience the outages have caused. We will provide an update as Spectrum shares more information. Thank you for your time and continued support of Cape Girardeau Public Schools.
