THE VOLUNTEER CHEER
Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is a one-of-a-kind, school-based involvement program that works to support education and safety. This year, each Clear Creek ISD elementary and intermediate school has plans to implement the program. It has already had an enormous impact in the lives of students on campuses so far. Who are Watch D.O.G.S. ? Fathers, grandfathers, step-fathers, uncles, and other male figures who volunteer to serve at least one day a year in a variety of school activities as assigned by the school principal or another administrator. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact your student's elementary or intermediate campus.
NEW CCISD EMERGENCY APP
Students, parents, staff and community members are now able to download and utilize the new CCISD Alerts Emergency App. The emergency app and corresponding website features current security status, an anonymous reporting system, emergency protocols, and pertinent school safety information.
