Unity Day, is the signature event of National Bullying Prevention Month and has been recognized in the United States since 2011. To participate in Unity Day, individuals, schools, communities, and businesses wear or share orange to unite for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion to prevent students from being bullied. Unity Day will be celebrated on Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2024. We are asking all staff and students to wear orange on this day to show our togetherness.
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.
Half Day tomorrow Friday, October 4, 2024. Students will be dismissed at 11:15 am.
October 2, 2024, is National Custodian Appreciation Day. Make sure to let our Budd Group Custodians how much we appreciate them keeping our school clean!
October breakfast and lunch menus are now available online at https://myschoolmenus.com/organizations/2240.
Please contact Student Nutrition Services if you have any questions.

Chester County Emergency Management has informed us that a Tropical Storm Warning will be in effect beginning at 5 pm this evening. As such, all after-school and athletic events scheduled for Thursday will be canceled.
The District will remain on eLearning on Friday, 9/27/24.
Please continue to monitor your local weather stations, and stay safe!
The National Weather Service, in conjunction with Chester County Emergency Management, is predicting potentially dangerous weather conditions Friday morning due to Hurricane Helene including flooding and sustained winds up to 43 mph. These conditions make it hazardous for our buses to operate while transporting students.
For the safety of our school community, the Chester County School District will move to an eLearning day on Friday, September 27, 2024. All after-school activities and athletic events scheduled for Friday will also be canceled.
Students are asked to please ensure they take all learning devices and necessary materials home with them. Teachers will be available during normal school hours via email to provide support as needed. All District staff members are also asked to work remotely. We will continue to monitor the situation and send updates as needed.
Please continue to watch local weather forecasts, and stay safe!
WEATHER UPDATE: The District is currently monitoring weather conditions and working in conjunction with Chester County Emergency Management. As always, we will notify everyone in the event of any school closures or delays due to hazardous weather.
In preparation for a possible e-learning day, we ask that all parents please remind their children to carry home any necessary items or learning devices over the next several days.
The safety of our students, school buses, and staff traveling on the roads during potentially hazardous conditions remains a priority. Please continue to check our social media, or website for any updates. Also, the District will send out direct communications via phone, text, and email.
Thank you for your cooperation, and please stay safe.
