CCSD families,
You may see these "No Phone Zone" signs this upcoming school year at your student's school. These are updated guidelines for the 2024-25 school year to improve student engagement, decrease distractions, and overall, improve the educational experience in our classrooms. As the 2024-25 school year is about to begin, CCSD middle school students will be asked to leave phones in their lockers during instructional time, while high school students will be asked to either keep their phones in their backpacks, or place them in pouches inside their classrooms.

As we prepare to start a new school year this week, families of CCSD bus riders may notice some changes in our bus stop procedures following a new state law that took effect July 1 and introduces new safety regulations for student transportation. Read more at bit.ly/3WFN2eq
More good testing news as CCSD high school students performed strongly on the spring 2024 Advanced Placement (AP) exams with higher pass rates than 2023 and continued a positive trend over recent years! Read more here: bit.ly/3yrpqAM
WORKING TOGETHER: Preparation is key, and CCSD nurses took that message to the district bus garage today where they trained bus drivers and monitors on how to respond if a medical emergency occurs on a bus. We hope they don't encounter any on their buses this year, but if they do, they will be prepared to act. Great job by these dedicated employees of demonstrating that, at CCSD, we are always Better Together!
It's Back to School Week! As a reminder, here is the open-house schedule this week across the district. Please note that some schools have different time slots for different groups of students/families. Contact your school for additional information.
