Women's History Month

The 2023 National Women's History Month theme is "Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories." We have a district full of phenomenal women who make history daily in the lives of our students. I look forward to seeing many of your students telling the stories of our teachers in the years to come. We encourage all women to continue striving for excellence as you build the story that others will tell.

Students and Finalizing EOY Items

As we continue to work preparing our students for testing, please find ways to motivate your child to do their best. Call your child's teacher or administrator to get your student's testing goals. School contact goes a long way in ensuring we are all on the same page in ensuring student success.

We are also preparing for summer school. Please get in touch with your child's teachers about grades. Please sign up and monitor the parent portal. We want to provide as many opportunities as possible for our students to make strides and finish strong.

Thank you for your support of CCSD academic initiatives. Spring Break is near!
