Our District values feedback from families, and we would like to learn more about your child’s school experience this year. CCS is collecting responses for a Family-School Relationships Survey to learn how we can better support our community during the rest of the school year and beyond.

Parents and guardians, please take 10-15 minutes to complete the Family-School Relationships Survey. Surveys need completed by Friday, January 28th. Families with children at more than one school should complete one survey for their oldest child in each school.

To access the survey, families can visit surveys.panoramaed.com/ccsoh/family and select their child’s school. Select your student’s school from the dropdown menu and click “Take this survey.” All responses are completely anonymous and will help us to plan programs, resources, and services for the remainder of this school year.

Here’s what you need to know: limit of one order per residential address; one order includes four individual rapid antigen COVID-19 tests; orders will ship free starting in late January.

While these test kits are a resource for families, please note: for CCS students that are testing to return to school or test to play, they will need a proctored test result.

You’ve just received the phone call sharing that your child’s school is switching to remote learning because of staffing. Are you ready?

As our classrooms continue to navigate these unprecedented times - and schools are periodically forced to transition to remote learning - we want families to have the right resources to help their children access quality instruction at home.

When there’s a temporary school-level transition to remote learning, most of our teachers will continue to use Clever, Google Classroom, and Zoom for teacher-led or asynchronous (self-paced) instruction.

Here’s a tip for parents to start with: ask your child to show you how they log into Clever or Google Classroom to find assignments. Do they know the Zoom Link to connect to their teachers and do they know what time they need to be on camera?

If they struggle with answers on logging in, we’ve put together some helpful tips and instructions for parents to use. It can all be found at www.ccsoh.us/Page/11218.

You’ll find easy-to-follow videos and directions on starting up your child’s Chromebook, logging into Clever or the Parent Portal, directions for using Zoom and Google Tools, and reminders on how student access their school emails and resources.
