willingness to demonstrate
considerate behavior to others.
Our Character Counts!
On Friday we had a special all-school chapel about our school-wide mission project to share the love of Jesus with our community.
Our Cougars, big and junior have the opportunity to share God's love and love our neighbors by working with the Twin Valley Food Pantry to bless and bring JOY to other littles and bigs just like them, with toys for Christmas! As the Lord leads your family, your Jr. Cougars can donate new, unwrapped toys to a child in the community who might not have any gifts under their tree on Christmas morning. Donations can be brought into school until Wednesday, November 20th. On this day representatives from the Twin Valley Food Pantry will join us for an all-school chapel so we can share God's blessings with them of the toys from our Cougars. We will also pray over the gifts and for the children and families who receive them. (All parents are invited to attend this special chapel at 8:10 am in the gym.:)
We can't wait to celebrate the love of Jesus and His good and perfect gifts to us and our local brothers and sisters during this special chapel and JOYous holiday season.
(Maybe your Jr. Cougar and you can plan a shopping JOY date together!:)
Speaking of Christmas, here is another special and unique way to add to the early days of putting on your holiday cheer! Gracing our CCS stage this Thursday and Friday evenings at 7 pm our talented middle and high school performing artists will present their version of the Christmas Comedy "Silver Belles." Celebrate the season while supporting and applauding our very own!
Tickets are available HERE or at the door.
What to do
if your Jr. Cougar
is absent from school...
Notifying the School of Absences
- It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to contact the school office with the reason for the absence as soon as possible on any day a student is absent. Messages can be left on office voicemail at any time. A staff person in the CCS office will call for information regarding an absent student for whom no information has been received.
If a parent/guardian does not contact the school to provide information about the absence, the absence will be considered unexcused. If parents/guardians would like to request an excused absence, they need to notify the school within three days. While notification does not automatically excuse the absence, no absence will be excused without notification. If no notification occurs within 5 school days upon return to school, the absence will be identified as unexcused and will not be changed unless granted by the Head of School.
Not sure when to keep your child home from school? HERE are our guidelines.
Running Late...
If the 8 am bell rang, please be sure to check you child in at the office for a late slip before sending them to class. This helps us to ensure your child is safe and sound at all times and avoid inaccurate documentation too.
Planning a Trip...
Don't forget to submit your preplanned absence form found HERE! For effective communication be sure to submit the form 5 school days before you are planning to depart.
