CYBERBULLYING SESSION FOR PARENTS
|
|
 Thursday, April 15th at 7:00pm
Social media has captured the interest of adults and children alike. But are there dangers in cyberspace? How is your student using the web and text messaging to create a social circle? What is the impact of bullying in cyberspace? Are their activities exposing your family to legal risks? How do you know what your child is doing online?
Mark your calendar for this important session with Dr. Chip Taylor, psychologist and professor at The Citadel and MUSC. Dr. Taylor has written and published numerous articles in the area of cyberbullying. He will be joined by a CCS student who will show us how to navigate the most often used sites.
Thursday, April 15
7:00 PM
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
200 Meeting St, Charleston, SC
Register online at the CCS website. (There is no cost for registration.)

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.
