Program
The February Hot Lunch Menu will be activated January 17th. Deadline to order is January 31, 2018!
Please check the school calendar for any dates that your child will not be in need of a school lunch. There will be no reimbursements for any orders past the deadline date.

- Be sure to "CHECK OUT" the order and "PAY INVOICE" and finally click on "PROCEED". Only when you receive an invoice marked as "PAID" will the order be confirmed.
- Not completing the process will result in an "UNCONFIRMED ORDER". All unconfirmed orders that pass the ordering DEADLINE DATE will not process, which will result in your child not receiving the anticipated lunch item.

- For grades K-4 use code: 185
- For grades 5-8 use code: 1a7

BOTH CCDS COUGAR COSTUMES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED THANKS TO THE KOVAC FAMILY!
A big thank you goes out to Mr. Donnie Kovac and Ms. Lamese Hamideh who were kind enough to repair and clean both of our Cougar mascots costumes! They repaired the fans, had the rips stitched, repaired the zippers, and hemmed the costumes so they actually fit children rather than grown adults!
CCDS truly appreciates the generosity of the Kovacs, their daughter Ali is in the third grade.

CCDS Drop Off and Pick Up Guidelines
Dear Parents,
Thank you all very much for your cooperation with our recent drop off and pick up procedure changes. We have noticed that parking on the side lot in the morning can prove cumbersome with small children, backpacks etc…. Therefore, faculty and staff will park toward the back leaving the front portion of the side lot open for you.
NOTE: The side lot is ONE WAY ONLY.
Also, a reminder that your family name card MUST be visible in the front window of your car at afternoon car line.
Thank you!

CCDS Basketball
Last week the girls played hard and beat both Lippman and Lawrence. The boys also played hard, beating Lippman and losing to Lawrence. This week our middle school team goes on the road. Tuesday they play at Old Trail with girls starting at 4:30 and boys at approximately 5:30. Thursday they play at Gilmour with girls starting at 4:30 and boys at approximately 5:30. Good luck Cougars!
3rd - 5th Grade Girls on the Run
I am excited to announce that CCDS will have a Girls on the Run program this spring!
Girls on the Run "encourages girls to recognize their individual strengths and celebrate connections with others. Each season, girls gain a better understanding of who they are and what's important to them, the value of teamwork and healthy relationships and how they can have a positive impact on the world. Girls also make a meaningful contribution to their community through a team-organized Community Impact Project. Physical activity is woven into the program to inspire an appreciation for fitness and healthy habits and teach life skills including treating others with care, practicing gratitude and managing emotions. Each season culminates with a Girls on the Run 5K event. This celebratory, non-competitive event provides girls with a sense of accomplishment and instills the value of goal setting at a young age."
The program will meet after school until 5:00 on Mondays and Thursdays beginning in March, under the direction of 2nd grade teacher Madison Backus and 4th grade teacher Kellie Boyd, with help from me. It culminates with a non-competitive 5k at Walsh University the morning of May 19th. More information, including registration details, will be coming home sometime in February. Until then, feel free to reach out to me with questions and I'll do my best to answer. Go Cougars!
