Online student registration for the 2023-2024 school year is now open. Please visit our registration page to start this process.
Registration is the first step in getting ready for the upcoming school year. After you register your child online you need to:
- Pay student fees. Our student fee webpage outlines the District’s student fee structure and the three ways fees can be paid. Information regarding fee waivers for families that qualify is also found on this page of our website.
- New families to the district, kindergarten students, families with a lease, and families that were flagged by our third-party residency verification system are required to provide proof of residency to complete the registration process. Our residency webpage outlines the documents you will need to provide to prove residency.
All returning students MUST be registered by August 1, 2023, or they will be disenrolled from CCSD15. Students who have not completed their registration requirements will not receive a classroom assignment. Families that do not complete the registration by July 31, 2023, should contact their school to re-enroll their child(ren).
All three steps of the enrollment process must be completed prior to the start of the school year.

While May is one of our busiest months of the school year, it is also one of our favorites. We see all of the growth nature brings after a long, cold winter. We also see all of the growth our students have made over this school year. May is also filled with so many activities and celebrations. As we start the process of finalizing the 22-23 school year, we reflect on all the learning and success we have witnessed. We enjoy seeing the growth of each student academically,socially, and emotionally. Please soak in the last few weeks because this school year has truly been a work of heart, hard work, and excitement. Lastly, Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, aunts, step-mothers, grandmothers, and role models who serve and love as moms each day.

In order to help us continue to improve the ways in which we use technology to engage students and improve learning outcomes, you have an opportunity ot take the BrightBytes “Modern Learning Survey”. The link for parents to complete this survey prior to the end of the survey window on June 2, 2023 is included below. We thank you in advance for sharing your input. Students in grade 3-8 will also participate in the survey during class time.
The survey will provide us with valuable feedback on our instructional environments, technology use, professional development, student skills, and equity/access. The survey results will help us determine the needs of our district, teachers, and students as it pertains to modern learning strategies and environments.
All of our MJ Blue Jays have worked so hard this year to be ready to "fly up" to the next grade level. On Thursday, June 1st, all students will have an opportunity to visit a teacher at the next grade level for an activity, read aloud, or game that will introduce them to the upcoming grade level. Each first grade class will go as a group to a second grade classroom, second to third, and so on. The classroom your student visits may/may not be the actual classroom they will be assigned to in the next grade. Sixth graders will spend time with librarian Mrs. Howard and other staff. This has been a fun activity in years past and we are glad to be able to bring it back this year!
Thank you to the families who submitted their unit Illustrative Math family tasks during the month of April! We enjoyed seeing your child use math outside of the classroom.
Illustrative Math provides students and families with an opportunity to take their learning from the classroom and apply it to an authentic situation. Each problem lends itself to deep conceptual understanding. Below you will find a unit task for the month of May as well as a companion support video that explains what each grade level is learning in class. Click here to learn more about problem-based learning.
Follow the steps below to complete the optional unit task for the month of May.
1. Find your child’s grade level below and click the link to access your unit task.
2. Read through the “Try It At Home” section and complete the task.
3. Send your family’s math work to your child’s teacher in the form of a written paper, photo story, or a video of your child demonstrating and explaining their thinking.
