Questions About Housing?
Working and Learning from Home
Many families now face new challenges: how do we care for our children while working and schooling at home, and not panic during this unprecedented outbreak? The first step: take a deep breath. Know that we are all in this together. And together we will get through it.
Here are some other tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics to help you cope with this “new normal"..
SCHOOL AND DIVISION HAPPENINGS
Academic and Career Plans
8th Grade Parents:This is just a reminder that your child may view the presentation for and complete their Academic and Career Plan. An ACP is a personalized learning plan and course of study that aligns with your child's academic and career goals. This plan will travel with your child to high school, where high school counselors will use this plan as a tool to continue to guide your child through course selections. Please click on the link below to view the ACP presentation. At the end of the presentation, you will find a link that will take your child step-by-step to complete the plan. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Balsorah Lynch at balsorah_lynch@ccpsnet.net; 757 598-1421. Please submit by May 22.
