A Note from Mrs. Wilson
I hope that some of you are able to join me on Tuesday morning for our first coffee with the Principal! For this meeting, our focus will be on competencies here at CCS. I have asked Chris Motika, SAU 53 Curriculum to come talk with us, and to share how competencies came to be here at CCS, and what they offer to our students and our school.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Warmly,
Mrs. Jessica (Snider) Wilson, Principal
CCS ADMINISTRATION AND HEALTH OFFICE COVID-19 UPDATE
CCS ADMINISTRATION AND HEALTH OFFICE COVID-19 UPDATE:
We will be sending out all-school one call notifications to all families and staff if there is a confirmed case of COVID-19.
The manner in which we are notifying families of potential COVID-exposures is different this year.
If a student or staff member has had potential exposure of a positive COVID case in school:
Rather than sending out an all-school one call notification when there has been a potential exposure, we are sending out a letter through ALMA to the specific classes or individuals that would have had the potential exposure.
This is in compliance with a recommendation from the NH Department of Health and Human Services’ School and Childcare toolkit.
Please make sure your email is correct in Alma so you can receive these notifications.
DHHS Reference:
Self- Observation Guide for people exposed to COVID-19 who are not required to quarantine
Please review the DHHS COVID-19 Testing Sites:

This is a friendly reminder that breakfast and lunch are free for all students through this school year. Unfortunately, this does not include any snacks, slushies, waters, or extra milks. These items can be paid for through your child's Myschoolbucks account or you are welcome to send funds to school with your child.
We do ask that you do continue to complete a free and reduced meal application, even though meals continue to be free for all students. Ravonne Eccleston, our Food Service Director, can answer specific questions that you may have. She can also help to get a hard copy of any forms to your child here at school. reccleston@sau53.org
