We are participating in a Sun Protection Education Program this year. Throughout the year our students, parents and teachers will be getting information about protecting their skin from sun damage and learn about skin conditions caused by sun exposure. Our participation in this program will help Corpus Christi be eligible for a grant sponsored by the American Academy of Dermatology. The money awarded through the grant will be allocated to purchasing and installing a walkway between the main building and the preschool building.

CCCS PTO Board Nominations & Committee Appointments

The Cougar Cart is a new mobile store, sponsored by the PTO, that will be open to everyone starting this week. The cart will offer a variety of items to make life a little easier, including snacks, school supplies, small gifts and school spirit items.  You can find the cart in the hallway by the office every morning between 7:45-7:55 and it will be available to students during regular Scrip office hours and  other designated times to be determined. Click HERE for a list of the items that are available. 

Please remember that after 7:30, students should only be dropped off in the area designated for carpool. If you are going to walk your child inside, you should park behind the rectory. If your child is in preschool, you may park in the lot adjacent to the daycare building. Parents should not be parking in our main lot to walk their children inside, and no students should be dropped off in our main parking lot. While our first bell rings at 7:45, teachers remain on traffic duty until 7:55. Students arriving to school before 7:55 should not be dropped off in our main parking lot. This is for the safety of all of our students.
