Good afternoon Parents,
This correspondence is to inform you that the campus was placed on a brief HOLD protocol due to an isolated medical incident within the building. A HOLD protocol means that all students and staff must remain in place and clear the hallways. At no point during the situation was there any danger to students or staff members.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding.
Have a great rest of your day!

CCSD is introducing My Ride K-12, a parent communication app, to its transportation operations!
My Ride K-12 is a mobile app integrated with student transportation software that allows both you and your student to access estimated times of arrival or departure for your bus. This helps ensure that you and your students are on time for pick-ups and drop-offs while making the bus route more efficient.
My Ride K-12 is now available for you to download on your Apple or Android mobile device. Simply search the app store for “My Ride K-12” to download and register yourself on the app.

REMINDER: Monday, October 14, 2024, is our District OEC Professional Development Day. There will be no school for students.
All normal school operations will resume on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.
CCSD previously announced that the weather make-up day for Monday, September 30, 2024, would take place on November 25, 2024. Due to updated communication from the SC Department of Education, an eLearning Day can be used in place of physically making up the weather day in extreme circumstances, such as those associated with Hurricane Helene.
Therefore, the District has decided to move the weather make-up day to Monday, October 7, 2024, and designate it as an eLearning Day.
With asynchronous instruction, students work independently on the assignments provided. Teachers will advise students of all assignments for the day and will be available during normal school hours via email to provide support as needed.
The original decision to delay the make-up day until November was due to the closeness of the October 7th date, which would have had a greater impact on families and staff members, who already had plans scheduled ahead of time.
