Siblings may attend with either grade level. Read the flyer.

Students will be unable to use their G-Suite (CCSD Google) accounts as of August 1. Don't panic as this is due to an annual reset. Most likely working through the school library, students will reset their passwords once the school year starts. If you can’t wait until then, drop Book Master Dwyer an email or send him a message using the school web site’s contact form. Students going into ninth grade should contact their high schools.
The final school day of the 2017-18 school year is Thursday, May 24. This is the last day for students.
