What is Community Connections?
Each month we will have at least 2 activities for families to participate in*.
These have all been designed and created with suggestions from YOU, the Community Coordinators, and with geographic areas in mind. Currently, we have Middle and High School Community Connections Events in the High Desert, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario/Chino, and Redlands!
We also will have Middle and High School specific events for the High Desert that you can find here!
*Please keep in mind that CC Events are not drop-off nor are the CC staff responsible for supervising students at these events. Parents are responsible for providing supervision of their children for every Community Connection activity, event, and field trip. Families may work together to carpool, but an adult must be present at all activities.
