SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS FOR MS/US
|
|
Wondering what your Upper or Middle School student is going to do this summer? On our website is a list of summer opportunities for middle and high school students -- including academic, artistic, international, and outdoor experiences. This list has been compiled from information sent to the College Counselor; some brochures are also available for viewing in Ms. Pringle's room. (For more information, please visit the website for the individual programs.)
Click here to view the list posted on the CCS website.

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.
