Caroline County Public Schools has once again teamed up with our good partners at Caroline County Recreation & Parks to provide free summer day camp for all elementary school students!

FYI: Parents must attend an orientation meeting to confirm their child’s enrollment.

For complete information visit bit.ly/CCRPcamp2024. That page will have a direct link to online registration or printable forms in English, Spanish & Haitian Creole.

Thank you for supporting your child at home by encouraging them to complete the reading/math calendar. We are excited to add our Pre-K 4 students starting the month of December! Pre-K 4 students will only need to complete the reading goal for the month. An adult will need to read to your Pre-k students for 15 minutes, 15 nights of the month. The calendar should be signed on the days that the reading is completed. Reading to your child increases their academic and social/emotional success! It expands their vocabulary, increases their comprehension and communication, and promotes bonding.

Beginning with Quarter 3, CCPS will no longer be sending home printed report cards. Grade Reports (interim and quarterly) will be sent by email to parent/guardians, using PowerSchool’s digital document delivery.

Please check PowerSchool to verify that your email is correct, or contact the school to provide them with your email address. Parents/guardians who have not provided their email will be contacted by the school to help ensure they are not missing important information.

In addition to receiving grade reports by email, the information will also be available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal at carolineschools.org/page/powerschool.

If you need any further information or assistance, please contact the school office.

A partir del 3.º trimestre, CCPS dejará de enviar a casa las libretas de calificaciones impresas. Las libretas de calificaciones (intermedias y trimestrales) se enviarán por correo electrónico a los padres o tutores mediante el envío de documentos digitales de PowerSchool.

Consulte PowerSchool para verificar que su correo electrónico sea correcto o comuníquese con la escuela para proporcionar su dirección de correo electrónico. La escuela se comunicará con los padres o tutores que no hayan proporcionado su correo electrónico para garantizar que no les falte información importante.

Además de recibir las libretas de calificaciones por correo electrónico, la información también estará disponible en el Portal de Padres PowerSchool en carolineschools.org/page/powerschool.

Si necesita más información o ayuda, comuníquese con la oficina escolar.
