SUPPORT CCDS
If you have any older Box Tops for Education that you have cut from grocery products, please bring them to the school as soon as possible so that they can be counted.

If you shop online at Sam's Club, Target, or Walmart you can send a copy of your electronic receipt to: receipts@boxtops4education.com for credit.
Each year, Canton Country Day School sends out information on our Annual Giving Campaign. It is necessary for all Independent Schools to have an Annual Giving Campaign to aid in the education of your child(ren). Annual Giving is very different from the Parents Association’s Great Escapes Auction. Great Escapes is an all school auction (fundraiser) that funds parent association programs and events. Annual Giving aids in the education of your child(ren) by:

  • Off-setting tuition costs/keeps tuition low
  • Keeping our teachers’ salaries competitive with those in the public sector
  • Maintenance and building updates that are vital around our campus and in our school
  • Helps defray operating costs

CCDS would like to keep giving as simple and easy as possible for you and there are a variety of ways to give:


You can make a recurring or one-time pledge and have it deducted directly from your bank account, or charged to your credit card. For example, you can set up your pledge for $17 a month from December 2019 to June 2020, you will donate $102 towards our annual giving! Remember, no gift is too small to get us closer to 100% participation. Please consider giving your donation early. Use one of the methods above to make your donation today!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS
With inclement snow season approaching, we wanted to remind you of our snow day procedures.
 
SCHOOL CLOSING INFORMATION : 
CCDS closing information is posted on the local TV and radio stations. CCDS closing information is also available (after 6:00 a.m.) on the CCDS answering machine and on our website at www.cantoncountryday.org CCDS will send out a notification through its text messaging system if possible. 
 
WHEN DOES CCDS CLOSE FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER ? 
CCDS is located in Plain Township, therefore we generally follow their weather directives. We do not, however, follow Plain Local delays.
 
SUMMARY OF OUR CCDS CLOSING POLICY : 
  • If Plain Local is open we are open.
  • If Plain Local closes for weather we are closed.
  • If Plain Local delays for weather we are closed.
  • CCDS reserves the right to close even if Plain Local does not.

SCHOOLWORK DURING A SCHOOL CLOSING:
  • When a snow day is anticipated, teachers will assign snow day work on the previous day.
  • When school is closed for two or more days, please check Renweb/parent emails for your child’s assignments. Teachers will post assignments by 8:00 a.m.
  • Most importantly, when assignments are finished, go out and enjoy your day and be safe!

We have enough families signed up to offer Snow Day/Bad Weather child care this winter. This would consist of crafts, outdoor exploring, academic support (if necessary), gym, and movie time. It would operate from 7:45 am until 5:30 pm for current students and their siblings ( grades K-8 ) of working parents. The rate would be a flat rate of $50 per day, per child [multiple child discount will apply similar to the tuition discount] between the hours of 7:45 am and 3:45 pm. After 3:45 pm, our regular ETC rate would apply. If this would be of interest to you, please submit your information HERE .

IN THE CLASSROOM
Help the Junior Kindergarten class collect aluminum can tabs to donate to the Ronald McDonald House of Akron! Every pound of tabs creates revenue to help house families in need during their medical care. You can deposit these tabs in the red bin outside of the Junior Kindergarten classroom. 
The project is ongoing all year and it's an easy way to get the whole school involved in a service project where money/material donations are not needed. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!  Laura Roth
Middle School Field Trip
Grades 6, 7 and 8
The CCDS Middle School students arrived in Niagara Falls, New York, on Monday, November 18th and enjoyed lunch at the Rainforest Cafe followed by a time for all students to view the falls. Everyone seems to be having a wonderful time.

Place Value Party in Second Grade
Second Grade celebrated a week long place value party! They are focusing on 3-digit numbers. They made cakes with hundreds, tens, and ones. Then, counted their base-10 blocks and wrote it in standard, expanded, and word form. They also added and subtracted 10 and 100 from their number. #mathisapartyatCCDS
