The CCSD will delay the start of school on Wednesday, January 17th by 2 hours. All schools will start 2 hours later. This step was taken due to the hard freeze warning & extreme temps as low as 13 degrees projected. The delay will make it safer for bus travel & students to get to school. Please stay safe.
The CCSD is informing parents & staff that we will remain in our virtual school mode on Tuesday, January 16th. This is due to a winter weather advisory for our county with threats of freezing rain & icy conditions. Sub freezing Temps for students waiting on buses was also considered. See you on Wednesday.
