News from Your PK-12 Community

 

PK-12 Communities broaden and strengthen connections within CCISD. Each PK-12 Community is comprised of both elementary and secondary campuses, based on feeder patterns and the larger communities that are served by these schools. These communities will communicate and collaborate with each other regarding school activities and programs, shared events and possible partnerships. By utilizing coordinated calendars, an online presence and open lines of communication, the PK-12 Communities will help build lasting relationships among campuses and recognize the strength found in the diversity of each community they serve.
