CCC Student Handbook

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports
Our school-wide theme is “CCC is who we are…RISE is what we do”. This theme supports our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) initiative that has been adopted by many Chesapeake Public Schools including the Chesapeake Career Center. During the first few weeks of school, students will learn about the expectations that have been established for all students attending CCC. Our expectations are centered around practices that keep students safe and engaged in learning.
RISE stands for: Respect, Integrity, Safety, and Excellence. Throughout the year, the staff of CCC will continue to review these positive behavioral expectations in order to increase students’ academic achievement and decrease behavior infractions. Students will be eligible for rewards and incentives throughout the year when they display that they have mastered the behavioral expectations. We will also continue to contact parents via phone or email when student behaviors of concern are observed. It is our hope that by informing parents of what is taking place at school, the behaviors can be corrected and student referrals to administration is minimized.

CCC Summer Camps
Camp Scrubs offered a hands-on exploratory health science experience allowing students to explore pharmacy technician, dental assisting, and nursing careers.
Camp Glamour explored self-care and the beauty that comes from within while participating in hair, makeup, and nail workshops in a simulated salon.
Camp Collision was an immersive, hands-on experience that allowed students to conduct minor repair techniques and explore the art of vehicle detailing.
Camp Car Care learned the basics of car care and maintenance and got a feel for the work that mechanics do to keep our vehicles safe and operational.
Camp 911 enjoyed learning about the fast-paced, lifesaving environment of a 911 call center coupled with the reactionary response of a firefighting unit.
Information on next year's camps will be posted in the spring.
