Our address – www.cdaschools.org - will remain the same, but our site will have more photos, more news items and a standardized appearance from school to school, as well as embedded calendars listing school and district events.

As in the past, content will be controlled and posted by webmasters at our 18 schools and district office. Additionally, each teacher and support staff member will have the capability to add content to a personal webpage with information for students and parents. Once they receive training in the fall, teachers will be able to easily post assignments with links to resources in a digital locker.
