General Questions

How can I order lunch for my child?

How do I reserve the rock?

Students are only available to paint Monday-Thursday. Students DO NOT paint on Fridays or special days noted on sign up.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are using a mobile device (phone, etc.) to click the link, be sure to click the “View in Full Site” button to ensure that no one else has already reserved the rock on the day you wish to sign up.

The rock can be reserved for 24 hours, 2:45 pm to 2:45 pm the next day.

TWO OPTIONS:

1) Paint the rock yourself for $10.

2) Hire the Student Government and the House leaders to paint the rock for a fee of $35. (Two-week notice required. This is only available Monday-Thursday)

Both options are a fundraiser for Student Government and the Houses – Audacia, Constantia, and Fides

Please make checks payable to CCS and bring them to the school office before or on the date you've reserved. Or, if you would rather the school invoice you, just leave a comment saying so.

Please click HERE to reserve the rock (reservations MUST be made whether you paint it yourself or hire the students)

What is the best way to communicate with my child's teacher about a concern?

 Questions, concerns, and complaints invariably arise, and it is important that these be handled Biblically and promptly. The following steps are an application of the Biblical injunction recorded in Matthew 18 for the resolution of a problem between believers. It is desired at CCS that all problems, from the smallest to the greatest, be handled as outlined below:

Steps for Parents
  •  The parent and teacher (or two persons concerned) meet privately to seek resolution with a spirit of reconciliation. Both desire the good of the child and are not in an adversarial position.

  • If unresolved, the two persons concerned meet with the Grammar School Principal. (Any subsequent meetings would involve the Head of School.)

  • If still unresolved, the matter is presented to a special committee of the Board. The committee calls upon the parties involved as seems warranted, all in the spirit of reconciliation.

  • If still unresolved, the problem is brought before the entire School Board. The Board calls upon the parties involved as seems warranted, still in the spirit of reconciliation. If reconciliation does not occur, the Board makes a judgment and takes appropriate action.

  • In cases when the Matthew 18 principles have not been adhered to, and actions continue that undermine this ministry, for the benefit of mutual resolution, the School Board may take action up to and including expulsion. 

Steps for Students: (Upper School Only)

Many students find it hard to take the first step in initiating conversation with their teachers when it comes to concerns about homework, class participation, grades, etc. Use the plan below to approach your teachers and develop a plan for success:

  • If you have any concerns or issues with homework for a class, carve out time as soon as possible to make an appointment to see your teacher. You may need to bend your extra-curricular schedule in order to meet with them. Be sure to tell them what you would like to talk about so they can be prepared. This could be anything from not understanding an assignment, to concerns about your progress in the class, to struggles to complete all the assigned work, etc.

  • Come to your meeting with specific concerns/issues. Write them down in advance to help you stay focused.

  • If the issue is related to homework load, come prepared by keeping a nightly log for a week of all homework. Write down what you are doing including the class, the specific assignment, how you accomplished the assignment, and how long you spent doing it. Bring your log to the meeting. It will help your teacher to understand the whole picture if they see not just the work you are doing for their class, but for all your classes. Do this for each night that you do any homework for one week – including the weekend.

  • Work with your teacher to create an action plan and schedule a follow-up meeting. Be willing to listen and try some different strategies for success. Faithfully follow the plan you created and keep your follow-up appointments.

 

Your CCS teachers are here for you! We want to help you learn good study skills and develop time management strategies. We also want to empower you to be your own advocate and learn how to communicate effectively with teachers, employers, and peers. We are excited for the year ahead and look forward to seeing your spiritual, academic, and personal growth 

Pick-up, Drop-off, and After School Procedures

What is the drop-off procedure?

Students are dropped off at the main entrance between 7:35am and 7:55 a.m., or parents may park in the side parking lot to allow their child more time to gather their belongings and enter the school via the side parking lot door. Please do not accompany your child into the building. Students K through 12th grade that enter the school doors at 8am or after are considered tardy to school and will receive a (GS) tardy slip or (US) SGI. 

When dropping off students at CCS:

• Please use the right lane only under the portico,

• Pull all the way up to allow for two cars to be unloaded at once. Put your car in park and follow the staff member’s directions.

• Students must exit the vehicle on the right side only. Drivers, please do not exit the vehicle.

• Students should have school supplies and book bags ready to go as the car approaches the entrance and should exit the vehicle quickly.

• If your student needs more time to gather their belongings, use the left lane under the portico to pass through, stopping under the portico to watch for drop-off traffic before proceeding. (Vehicles in the right lane have the right of way). Park your car in the parking lot and use the side entrance to walk your child into school.  Upper School students should park in the parking lot and enter the school through the side door without parents.

• For safety, please do not allow your student to walk to the front entrance during morning drop-off.

• Do not bypass the portico to drop off your children by the side door unless you are planning to park in a parking spot and walk them into the building. This is a safety concern for those families who have parked and are walking in, and it also backs up traffic.

• Our side parking lot is ONE WAY. Follow the traffic pattern that we use for after-school pick-up.

• If your student driver is driving to school, head directly to the parking lot and park your car. Please do not switch drivers under the portico.
