From the Principal
Hello, Cecilton Family,
As was announced on Monday, CCPS is excited to welcome back 5% of our students given staffing and safety protocols. Students with the most significant needs were identified for this initial group. We are hopeful that we will soon be able to invite additional students to join us for face-to-face instruction (F2F). Thank you for working with us as I know many, many of you were hopeful that your child(ren) could be included in this initial group and were disappointed to learn that we could not safely do so at this time.
As we make this transition back to some F2F learning, please know that SAFE with remain of the utmost importance. We will continue to complete daily health questionnaires, wear face masks or shields, use hand sanitizer and washing procedures regularly, and maintain social distancing. All students and staff will have their temperatures taken daily on school property, and we will remain vigilant about monitoring symptoms. CCPS will continue to monitor health metrics within the county to guide next steps.
