CCPS Community,
The past two weeks have been full of firsts, including the return of face-to-face learners one day a week and our first delayed school day as a result of fog. In both instances, as in all things, our first priority is the safety of our students and staff. We are so excited to have our schools open but in the case of unpredictable weather or in matters of health, we want to be sure that we are doing everything we can to keep our students, staff, and families safe and healthy in our buildings and in their morning travels!
At last week's Board of Education meeting, we had the opportunity to recognize our Food & Nutrition staff, our Facilities personnel, and our Transportation Department and those who work with us to provide student transportation, and our CCPS principals. We are so appreciative of the work that is done by each of these groups every day. It was especially meaningful when Scott Heckert, Director of the Food & Nutrition Department, read aloud the names of his staff members who worked to provide meals to students during the closure of schools since March. Their contribution to our community cannot be understated and I would like to thank each of them.
In closing, I would just like to remind everyone to get out and vote! In addition to this being a presidential election year, there are also a number of important local races that will be on the ballot. Please take the time to research these candidates and let your voice be heard by casting your ballot.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. Lawson, Ed.D.
Superintendent.
