Our CAP program keeps our kids connected.

One of the many benefits of Cheney Middle School is our CAP program.

The CAP Program Is . . .

Focused on social, emotional, physical, intellectual, psychological, and ethical development of students.

A structured time where designed activities are implemented to help adolescents find ways to fulfill their identified needs.

Delivery of consistent, caring, and continuous adult guidance at school through organization of a supportive and stable peer group that meets regularly under the guidance of the advisor.

An integral component of a middle school program.

Our goals for the CAP program are . . .

• Assure each student is provided a caring and concerned adult advocate on a regular basis that is knowledgeable about his/her personal adjustment to school and support their academic progress.

• Provide through a small group setting an opportunity for each student to develop a sense of belonging, security and trust which promotes positive self-esteem and social/emotional development.

• Assist each student in exploring and developing skills and attitudes about themselves and their relationships with others by strengthening student/student and teacher/student relationships.

• Provide each student with opportunities to behave responsibly and demonstrate their increasing capacity for self-reliance by accepting responsibilities, understanding consequences and learning to cooperate.

• Increase communication within the school and between the home and school concerning the student’s overall development and adjustment.

• Enhance a positive school climate by recognizing student accomplishments and encouraging school spirit.
