8th Grade Parent Teacher Conferences - March 9th & 10th
8th grade spring conferences will be held on Tuesday, March 9th and Wednesday, March 10th. Because teachers will be holding conferences, all 8th grade students will be asynchronous for these two days, meaning there will be no live Zoom classes.
If you have not already gotten your child's conference scheduled, please reach out to their teacher and expect communication by Monday. Spring conferences for 8th graders are particularly exciting, as families will be receiving their students' schedules for 9th grade!
If you would like to reach out to your child's teacher, the complete 8th grade faculty contact information is listed at the bottom of this blog. Families are such an important link in helping children grow, develop, and improve in their schooling experience, and we welcome this opportunity to meet with you and discuss your child's progress. It is our goal as a school to have 100% participation!

Student Holiday - Thursday & Friday 3/11-3/12
Don't forget that this Thursday-Friday 3/11-3/12 are student holidays for all CCSD students. There will be no classes *or* asynchronous work on these days. Enjoy the break, everyone!
Q3 Report Cards - Grading Window Closes Friday, March 12th
The grading window for the third quarter ends this Friday, and then teachers will be posting final grades for the quarter - these are the grades that will go on report cards and will count towards students' final grades for the year. It is our sincere hope that all of our students are passing all of their classes and performing to their full academic potential, so we encourage everyone to be checking Infinite Campus frequently and using this week as an opportunity to be checking in with teachers and completing any missing assignments.
