Meal Service for CCSD Students
Beginning Tuesday, March 17th, all CCSD students can receive daily free bagged meals for pickup at 2 school sites as well as neighborhood hubs. For more information on pickup and delivery locations, as well as service guidelines and community resources, please CLICK HERE.

Meet With Teachers via Zoom!
Our teachers are available to video chat with students via Zoom each day. Each subject has a specific time where they will be available to meet with students:

ELA - 9:00-10:00am
Math - 10:00-11:00am
Science - 11:00am-12:00pm
Social Studies - 12:00-1:00pm

These are excellent chances for students to ask questions about their work, to review, play games, or simply just catch up. We miss our students dearly and Zoom has proven to be a great way to stay connected!

Free Online Libraries!
Ms. Gonzalez has put together a list of free online library sources HERE. Check it out!
