Principal’s Message:
For those of you who have been around for a while, you will remember that every once and a while I had done the Principal’s message in the form of a poem. It is something that I enjoy doing and haven’t done in some time, so I felt that I could probably do one today. Hope you enjoy!
The Playground is a Coming!
Dear parents, I’m thrilled to announce,
Our school’s new playground is getting ready to bounce.
With climbers, monkey bars, and slides galore,
Your children will have an adventure in store.
The equipment will be sturdy and safe to play,
And our teachers will be out there every day,
To supervise and ensure that all is well,
So your child can play and laugh and yell.
The colors are bright, and the design is sleek,
And your kids will love it every single week,
I hope you’ll visit and see them have fun,
And join your child to play, adventure, and run.
CCS is grateful for your support and contribution,
In making this playground a fantastic solution,
For the children to have a good time and thrive,
And make new memories, they will cherish and strive.
With gratitude in our hearts, we thank the Lord above,
For the gift of this playground, which we all will love.
We pray that our children will play with care,
And in their hearts, may God’s love be there.
So let’s celebrate this momentous occasion,
And embrace the gift of playful inspiration,
As we welcome our new playground with glee,
And watch our children grow and be free.

Parents are also welcome to join us at the school for this event. Tickets will be purchased through your child’s Powerschool Account. Tickets are available in books of 20 tickets for $5. Most items cost between 4-12 tickets ($1.00-$3.00). No cash will be accepted or tickets refunded. All ticket purchases must be made through PowerSchool by NOON on May 17, 2023.

Odds & Ends:
Sign In/Out Form:
In an effort to reduce the amount of shared touched surfaces, we will be using a QR code that you will need to scan with your phone for signing in and out of the school. You can also use this link if you are in your vehicle and need to sign out a student but can’t scan the code. This means that students/parents/visitors can scan the QR code when entering or leaving the office/school to sign in or sign out on their own phone/device.
Parents will also be able to sign their kids out from their vehicle in the parking lot when they arrive to pick them up for appts. etc. please use the link above if you can’t scan the QR code. We do ask that parents pull into a spot (not bus lane) where they can contact the office to let them know you have arrived and we can make eye contact with you
from the staff/office door. Students must also stop by the office before leaving the school. At that point, once a connection is made, we are able to send students out to you.
