FAFSA Information
Please see the
following link to a Boston Globe article
for useful information about FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid):
FAFSA information This
is especially important for parents of seniors, but it will be helpful for Upper
Schol parents, since everyone will have to fill this out before a child goes to
college.
SAT/ACT Prep Course
A
combination S.A.T. / A.C.T. prep class will be held from 9:00am - 1:00pm on Saturday, April 24th. The fee is $50. Please
see Mrs. Sharpe for details and registration form.
For more information about any of the above, please contact Mrs. Boyd at eboyd@charlestoncollegiate.org or 559-5506 x229. |

LOST & FOUND BIN
|
|
All students and parents should check the Lost & Found in the rear of the café weekly. The Lost & Found bin will be emptied every two weeks. If
a child's name is not in uniform clothing (a silver Sharpie works well
for marking dark items), these items will be washed and resold by the
Parents' Association.
|
H1N1 FLU SYMPTOMS & VACCINE INFORMATION
|
|
 We continue to have confirmed cases of H1N1 Flu at the school. To help identify this flu strain's symptoms (vs. regular flu or common cold), please see the H1N1 Flu symptom chart posted to the CCS website.
DHEC Vaccine Clinics
DHEC has recommended that we strongly encourage all of our parents to call 953-0090 to schedule vaccination appointments ASAP. The vaccination is available at DHEC free clinics: the sooner our families call, the easier it will be to get an appointment, and the safer the campus will be for all of us. Please call and schedule an appointment for your child to receive a free vaccination ASAP.
School Policy
An important reminder about school policy on student illnesses: if a
student is out sick, he/she is only allowed back to school after being
fever/symptom-free for 24 hours without the help of medication.
