Hello CCDS Community,
We understand that the comments the Governor made earlier in the week regarding starting school in July caused a lot of confusion and concern, as well as perhaps some excitement! We want to assure you that plans to open school on August 19 with a normal school calendar & bell schedule are moving forward, although what our school year ultimately looks like is still unknown. We are looking at and working on various scenarios. CCDS, like all schools in Butte County, follows the guidance and direction from our Butte County Superintendent of Education, Mary Sakuma. We have two weekly calls with school leaders in our community to stay on top of all of this. Many of you have heard comments or ideas shared from state officials about reopening schools a month early, staggered schedules, year-round school, split days and many other options. These are all projecture at this point. While we would like to have a concrete plan, we must show patience in regards to decisions about reopenings and what that will look like for CCDS. We hope for the best, and plan to do what we have to in order to keep our students, our staff, and our community safe and healthy. The minute we have official direction or guidance, we will share that with our community. We miss you all. We really do hope to see everyone, especially our students, on campus on August 19, 2020.
Thank you!
Colly, Wendy, Margaret & Amie
