National Principals Month: Thank you to all of our incredible school principals for all they do for CCSD! Give a shout-out to your school principal in the comments below! #ForwardTogetherForStudentSuccess
The first intersession week for Chester County School District students will occur on October 9 - 13, 2023. Academic support will be offered for elementary, middle, and high school students on October 10 - 12, 2023. Schools have sent permission letters home with students who have been selected to participate.
Only students who receive and return permission letters should plan to attend school for academic support.
The elementary schedule for academic support during intersession will be 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The middle and high school schedule for academic support during intersession will be 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Breakfast, lunch, and transportation will be provided for these students at no cost.
Please contact your child's school if you have any questions.
FEMA, in coordination with the FCC, will conduct a national test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) at approximately 2:20 p.m. on Wednesday, October 4, 2023. This test will affect all major wireless providers in the U.S. and will transmit the alert to all their subscribers.
The test may occur during instructional time for some of our schools. No further action will be needed.

With a new sports season in full swing, we would like to send a friendly reminder about a few safety policies that will be in effect at each event.
CCSD will continue to use its clear bag policy and metal detector screenings for all attendees.
ALL elementary and middle school-aged students MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times. Dropping children off will not be permitted.
All Chester County School District high school students must have a ticket and show their school ID to attend a high school athletic competition without a parent/guardian.
No one will be allowed to stand, congregate, or “hang out” on the concourse, behind the press box area, or around the concession stand areas during the game.
Spectators must stay at their seats except when going to the restrooms or concession stands.
To read these policies in full, please visit our website at : https://www.chester.k12.sc.us/page/safety-security
