Did You Know?
- Our Elementary Parent Canvas Course is now up and running! As a public link, no one will need to need to enroll in the course or have a Canvas account. The resources in this course have been modified from the versions utilized by our teachers. It includes the Common Instructional Framework, yearlong curriculum maps and units, information on grading and reporting practices, and resources to support students at home. This link is accessible on the Curriculum & Instruction - Elementary Parent Resources tab on the CCS website. Feel free to share this link directly with families or link on your school’s website. Please note as curriculum units are updated in the Elementary Community Teacher Resources Canvas course, they will also be updated in the CCS Parent and Family Resources course as well.

- Neptune Navigate-Due to some technical errors please note that Neptune Navigate optional. If you opt to continue using with students and teachers, please let Erica, your leveled director, & Dr. Hill know so we can continue to support you. We will continue with the social media piece and district website in order to provide resources. We hope we will be able to relaunch district-wide later this year. Thank you for your patience.
- BT1 & BT2 Trainings- Just a friendly reminder to please help us support keeping our BT1 & BT2 training dates reserved for our new teachers, trying to avoid IEP meetings, PLC plannings, etc... This training is essential in helping us onboard all of our new teachers. Thank you in advance for your support.
- District Realignment-5th or 8th grade student impacted by the realignment will receive a letter giving families the option to keep these students at their home school. Please note this will be for the 2020-2021 school year ONLY. Younger siblings will NOT be grandfathered.
- Spanish Report Cards- For the upcoming year we are asking that if we are utilizing a Spanish version of the report card that we also include a blank copy of the English version in the cumulative folder to help ensure that all stakeholders are able to properly interpret a scholar's performance.
