Sign-in and Parking Rules

To better ensure the safety of our students, we are instituting and enforcing the following policies, effective immediately:

Visitor Sign-in

Other than parents dropping off or picking up a child, any visitor(including parents) must sign in and get a name tag at the front desk upon arrival on campus.  If a faculty or staff member sees a visitor or parent on campus without a name tag, the faculty or staff member has been instructed to escort that person to the front office to sign in.

Drop-off & Pick-up

Morning drop off and afternoon pick up for grades Preschool - 12 is the main entrance circleonly.  

Student & Parent Parking

The gym parking lot is reserved for CCS Staff and CCS Seniors only from 7:00 am - 5:00 pm.  Please do not park in this lot, as there are only enough spaces for those mentioned above. All other students and parents should park in the one-way gravel lot next to the main entrance circle. Please enter this lot at the beginning of the circle and exit this lot at the other end near the playground and drive around behind the lot to exit.   This new plan has proven to maximize safety for students and vehicles during rush hour times. Also, please adhere to all stop signsand ask your student drivers to do the same.   We are awaiting new signs to clearly mark these areas.

After School Policy for MS/US Students

Middle and Upper school students remaining on campus after 3:30 pm that are not involved in athletics or specific after school programs should sign in with Ms. Selby in the library until 4:30 and with the C-Club teachers from 4:30-5:30.  Students should stay in the library with Ms. Selby or with anotherassigned teacher until a parent arrives to pick them up in order to assure their safety. 

Our priority is the safety of our students. We appreciate your cooperation with the above policies!

Dear Middle School Parents:

The fifth through eighth grade winterim trip will be to the Camp Greenville Outdoor Environmental Education Center in Cedar Mountain, NC March 23 - 25, 2011. We will leave school at 7:00am on Wednesday March 23, and return for regular dismissal on Friday March 25.

This trip is designed to incorporate aspects of our science curriculum with outdoor education. In addition, winterim is unique because it exposes the students to the environment and our ecology, with many of the activities taking place outdoors. For instance, students will be participating on hikes to learn about the ecology and environment of the Blue Ridge Mountains. To add, students will gain experience orienteering, making night sky observations, leadership, team building, and other outdoor adventure activities (please refer to the next page for more information about the Greenville Outdoor Environmental Education Center). Every student is expected to attend, as this trip is a regular part of the curriculum.

The cost of the trip is $150.00, which includes lodging, activities, transportation and all meals and snacks. Students will be sleeping in heated cabins with bunk beds; the boys and girls will be in separate cabins. Attached, you will find medical release forms, a packing list and itinerary detailing your child's experience. Please sign the form below and return it along with the medical release form and full payment (made payable to CCS) to Mr. Hemingway no later than March 18. If you have any questions please email Mr. Hemingway at bhemingway@charlestoncollegiate.org.
