There is still time to order Gift Cards for Spring Break!
Why not stock up on Speedway, Marathon, or BP gift cards for your trip? You can also order Disney, Universal Orlando or any major hotel gift cards for when you arrive!
Orders are due by 7:00 a.m., Monday, March 19.
The money you earn will be credited to your child's tuition account in May!
To all TRIP registrants who have NEVER placed an order: Due to attempted fraud with E*Certificate purchases, our supplier has implemented a new TRIP policy. You must purchase and pick up three plastic card orders from CCS before you will be able to purchase E*Certificates. Unfortunately, they have had some attempts to purchase E*certificates using bogus information. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Accuplacer Test offered March 21
Mrs. Smearsol is offering an opportunity to take the Accuplacer test from 3:00-3:40 p.m. on Wednesday, March 21, in the Science Center for any students that need a placement test to qualify for CCP courses. This especially includes the 8th and 9th graders that have not yet taken an ACT.
Students wishing to take CCP courses must apply to the colleges AND submit a qualifying placement test score. This can, of course, be an ACT or SAT. But most younger students have obviously not taken these yet. So Mrs. Smearsoll can now officially give the Accuplacer, another placement test, right here at CCS. Most students will only need to take the Writing portion to be accepted.
This test opportunity is simply offered as a convenience to parents. Any student can also choose to take the test at a Sinclair or Cincinnati State campus. But this saves the driving time and hassle. Students that cannot stay after on March 21 to take the test will need to take the test on their own time at a college campus.

LAST CHANCE TO ORDER YOUR ELEMENTARY YEARBOOK!
If you have not already ordered your 2017-18 Elementary Yearbook, your student will receive a flyer to remind you to order by Friday, March 23. Quantities are printed based on the number of yearbooks ordered. Only those students who order a book will receive one in May. Students always look forward to receiving their own copies of the yearbook so they can share the fun with friends by autographing and writing encouraging words to one another. It's a great way for your student to remember those special moments. Yearbooks also make great gifts for grandparents and other family members and friends.
To order your yearbook, please go to https://ybpay.lifetouch.com and
enter the following school ID code #12392318. Then follow the online prompts. Yearbooks are $18.00. If you wish to send a check in to school, you may use either the blank order form found on our school website:
or send your check in with the flyer that will be coming home with your student this week. Please make all checks payable to Lifetouch.
Thank you for being part of keeping the memories alive!

Cincinnati Reds
-Kid Glove Fundraiser
The CCS Cougar family hit a home run last year with our inaugural Reds Kid Glove Fundraiser. Students last year sold almost 200 baseball tickets to raise $1,800 which went directly toward the purchase of much-needed athletic equipment and field supplies. As you know, with the spring sports season soon upon us, CCS will need all the "Field Dry" we can afford to buy.
What's amazing about this fundraiser is the return to CCS. For every $12 Reds ticket sold, CCS keeps $10. Few fundraisers reward CCS like this one. Every dollar we raise frees CCS resources to support other activities...including one that's important to you. Since most of us will consider attending at least one Reds baseball game, why not consider the dates below and support CCS Athletics?
- Tuesday, May 22 - Reds vs. Pirates
- Wednesday, May 23 - Reds vs. Pirates
- Tuesday, June 5 - Reds vs. Rockies
- Wednesday, June 6 - Reds vs. Rockies
- Tuesday, June 19 - Reds vs. Tigers
To reserve your tickets, please contact the Athletic Office to place your order. Let them know which date and the number of tickets you want to order. Checks should be written to "CCS Athletics" with "Reds Kid Glove" in the memo.
