PR committee is thrilled to host our Welcome Back BBQ again this year! Everyone is invited to join us for hot dogs from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Come enjoy food, meet your child(ren)’s teacher(s), drop off school supplies and indoor shoes, and see their classrooms. Reconnect with old friends and make new friends in our CCS community- we can’t wait to celebrate the start of the school year with you!
Celebration
At CCS, we hold weekly assemblies called Celebration. We alternate between Wednesday and Thursday mornings each month so our Kindergarten students can participate every other month. Celebration typically begins at 8:35 a.m.
This year, our first Celebration Assembly will be held on Wednesday, August 27th, at 10:30 a.m., following first recess. All parents are warmly welcomed to join us for Celebration as we kick off the new school year!
For the month of September, Celebration will be held on Thursdays.
Lost & Found
We will post weekly pictures of our lost and found. If you see something that is your child’s, please have them stop by the table and pick it up or let the office know. All unclaimed items will be donated to a second-hand store at the end of each month.
Athletics
We look forward to another exciting year of sports ahead! Stay tuned for upcoming volleyball tryout information.
