CCS Virtual Family Engagement Sessions

Tuesday, April 12, 6:00-7:00 p.m - "Free CCS At Home Library"

Launching this month, CCS students in all grades will receive a FREE curated collection of books, novels, and literacy-themed activities. Research shows that students who read at home daily for at least 20 minutes can increase language development, improve comprehension and critical thinking, develop global empathy, and strengthen family relationships.


Join Tuesday’s Virtual Family Engagement Session when our Extended Learning experts will talk about the At Home Libraries and we share strategies to help families engage in reading-themed activities at home.

Families at Colerain may soon be getting phone calls, text messages, or email from Engage Ohio as part of a new partnership to boost school engagement, attendance, and academic success.

Families are invited to sign up for a no-cost Academic Success Coach who can help connect them with resources, local contacts, and helpful strategies to keep their students on track and engaged with schooling. The Engage Ohio Academic Success Coach is completely free and totally optional. You can learn more and sign up for an Engage Ohio Academic Success Coach at https://registeroh.graduationalliance.com/.
