Parents....as we head into fall and winter, we take this opportunity to remind our families of our uniform policy regarding outerwear:
- Only BROWN or WHITE outerwear, that is purchased through the CCS Spirit Stop and properly branded with our school crest, may be worn. Full-zip jackets, sweatshirts, fleece, cardigan sweaters (Note: Students are still allowed to wear sweatshirts with the old branding).
- On extremely COLD days (temperature and/or wind chills 40 degrees or below), students may wear a heavy WHITE or BROWN coat (not purchased through the Spirit Stop); however, no other color coat will be allowed. *Please note that these heavy coats will not be allowed to be worn as a replacement for sweatshirts, cardigans, or sweaters in the classroom.

Thank you for your support and adherence to our uniform policy.

Attention all Middle School Parents....please read the news and information below from Mrs. Julie Evans, our Dean of Students.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! On Thursday, December 7th at 7:30 am, an informational meeting will be held for all 5th-8th grade students interested in auditioning for our spring musical production, NEWSIES. Students are to report to Mrs. Cortese's classroom - room 800 - in the Fine Arts building.

All CCS elementary school students were screened this week and those found to have lice have been treated.  Please keep in mind this is currently a community wide issue that is ongoing.  We are urging all parents to be diligent and check your child's scalp routinely, especially during this holiday when they may be sleeping over and visiting friends and family.  This MUST be a team effort to be successful and should be part of your weekly routine.  

When you are looking for lice, you may see nits (eggs) first.   To distinguish between dandruff and nits, try to flick or pull off the white speck. Dandruff is easily pulled off, but nits will stick to the hair.  Nits have a tear-drop shape and stand up off of the strand of hair, but dandruff is flat (See link below). If you are unsure of what you're looking for, please reach out to me or bring them to be checked at one of the local lice clinics. 

Also consider using non-toxic preventative products as part of your daily routine.  Girls should have hair contained to a bun, braid, or ponytail when in social settings. It is also important that each family member use their own hairbrush.
