The ROAR
Ed.2 Aug 27, 2022 - Updates and Upcoming Events at CCS
NEW BEGINNINGS
The school session at CCS has gotten off to a great start! Teachers are excited to get to know their new students and students are adjusting to their new school routines. Sometimes getting back in to the rhythm of a structured schedule after summer can be challenging, but our Lions have navigated it beautifully!
As we begin this new school year, Mr. Yearwood has begun talking about his challenge to our students, faculty, and staff. As Christians we are all called to the great commission. He is encouraging everyone to live out our faith everywhere we go, not just inside our building. This means we want our Lions to be a light, share their faith, and show Christ's love wherever they go. On the ball field, in the store, in the neighborhood, or anywhere else they go is a perfect opportunity to shine!
We believe that God will use our Lions this year to grow His kingdom!
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. - ACTS 1:8

ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Here are a few basic reminders:
- School Begins at 7:55 AM - Any student who arrives after 7:55 will need to check in through the main office.
- School Excuses - If a student has a doctor's appointment, make sure you send their school excuse the next day so we can mark the absence as excused.
- Unexcused Tardies - Life happens and sometimes it makes us late. However, we want to avoid forming a habit of lateness. You can expect a parent phone call or conference if tardies become excessive.
MORNING DEVOTION SCRIPTURES
August 22-26 scriptures:
- John 13:34
- Matthew 6:14-15
- Psalm 118:24
- Ephesians 2:10
- Proverbs 27:17
Lower School Guidance and Music
Bi-weekly classes participate in either a guidance or music lesson.
Music lessons are designed to encourage an appreciation for music. This comes through singing, playing simple instruments, and studying elements of music.
Guidance lessons are designed to enhance the overall well being of students at school and at home. Topics covered include: goals, choices, regulation of feelings, and many more.
Mrs. Candase creates lessons that are engaging and developmentally appropriate to ensure each student is having fun while learning and understanding materials.
Upper School Guidance and Counseling
Through grade level Google Classrooms, students are reminded about upcoming events and opportunities that they and their parents may want to take advantage of. For example, many colleges offer preview days for prospective students. Mrs. Yearwood provides information about these types of events for families as a resource.
Parents may access and learn more about upper school guidance and counseling on the CCS Guidance & Counseling Website. This hub of information contains resources for making individual counseling and advising appointments, college admission and scholarship information, and much more!
YOUTH LEAGUE SPORTS
CCS Parents of Students Grades 2-6:
We will be having a Youth Basketball and Cheer meeting and sign-ups for grades 2-6 on Monday, August 29th at 6PM at CCS.
During the meeting we will be electing a CCS Youth Basketball Board which will consist of a President, a Vice President, a Secretary and a Treasurer. Every parent that has a child involved should attend Monday's meeting.
We are excited about the future of youth sports at CCS and believe that this is a great opportunity!
As an additional reminder, the Krossover Basketball Academy will host a kick off season basketball camp for CCS on September 9th. All proceeds from this event will go to the youth program.
PRAYING PARENT TUESDAYS
We believe in the power of prayer!
Each Tuesday morning parents are invited to join together in prayer.As students dismiss to class for the day, parents may gather together in the area by the concession stand to pray for our students, faculty, and staff.
