Superintendent's Update
December 17, 2021
To the CCPS Community:
It is hard to believe that winter break is just around the corner! I have been busy making my rounds to school concerts and it has been such a great way to enjoy the holiday season.
I would also like to thank our schools and the community for the extensive outreach to support our families with meals, gifts, coats, hats, and gloves. While this is a season of celebration for many, that is not the case for many of our families and the generosity of our community makes such a difference.
I know that the upcoming winter break is much needed for our students and staff. I hope that you are able to take time in the coming weeks to relax, reflect, and do the things that bring you joy.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. Lawson, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
