A Note from Mrs. Wilson
Hello CCS Families!
We have had a lot of fun things going on here at CCS over the last two weeks. Our school celebrated the first 100 days of school, we started a new writing program in K-5, and our students are learning and growing in and out of the classroom.
We hope to see many of you at this year’s annual Chichester School District meeting will be held on Saturday, March 5th at 9am. The community will vote on both items in a traditional town hall meeting format. Attendance is required in order for residents to vote. The final day to register is Saturday, February 26th at 10:00am at the town hall. Voter registration is not available the day of the meeting. Community members can register to vote at the town hall during the following times if you are not already registered:
Monday 8:30am - 4:00pm
Tuesday 8:30am - 2:00pm and 4:00pm - 7:00pm
Wednesday 8:30am - 2:00pm
Thursday 8:30am - 2:00pm
Saturday, February 26th - 10:00am
Childcare will be provided by teachers during the School District Meeting.
Our school community looks forward to all that the spring has to offer for our students, staff, and community!
Mrs. Jessica Wilson, Principal
