CCDS Families, we would love to facilitate some time to listen to your ideas about ways we can expand our offerings and support of students in the upcoming years. Come to this meeting ready to share and brainstorm together with your ideas about social-emotional supports, academic supports, and additional growth opportunities at CCDS.

This is an interactive meeting where the admin team will log your ideas and help generate discussion, rather than a meeting to listen to a presentation. We hope many of you will attend and share your great ideas!
State Testing
CCDS will begin state testing in early May. Students in third through eighth grade will take the ELA and Math tests. The CAST ( Science test) will only be administered to fifth and eighth grade students. This school year has been unique in so many ways, and while state testing is still a requirement, the administration of these tests will reflect the realities of a very challenging year. All test times have been reduced this year and test results will help us plan our programs for the next school year. Want to do a practice test at home? Visit www.caaspp.org If you have any questions about state testing please contact Claudia Trout.
Kelvin Education Survey
Parent input is valued at CCDS, and the Kelvin survey is one tool we use to learn what matters to our community. This week parents will receive a Kelvin survey, called a "Pulse", with questions regarding this year's LCAP. Parents are asked to participate in this survey and give their input on topics including safety, academics, and school and home communication. Thank you in advance for your feedback!
Original Works Fundraiser is Back!
CCDS has teamed up with Original Works to offer a creative program that turns your child's artwork into custom keepsakes. In addition to supporting your child's creativity, profits earned through each purchase will support the educational programs at CCDS.
  • Deadline for art submission is April 16
  • All artwork is submitted online
