If we have rainy weather, materials will be moved into the middle school lobby. Remember, you only need to pick up materials if you have been contacted by your student's teacher.
Attendance Policy Reminders
CCDS Families, please keep these attendance policies in mind:

  • If your student is going to be absent for some or all of the school day, you need to notify the school office and the teacher. Parents of elementary students can notify Stacy Ferguson at sferguson@chicocountryday.org. Parents of middle school students can notify Irene Henkens at ihenkens@chicocountryday.org

  • Attendance notifications need to come from a parent/guardian. Often times a student will email the teacher regarding attendance, but attendance notifications must be confirmed by a parent as well.

  • While distance learning, attendance and participation in each class is expected and required. Please make sure your students are logging into their classroom zoom sessions on time. On asynchronous learning days (Wednesdays) please make sure your student is submitting Altitude learning cards on time, as required by each teacher.

  • Attendance notifications will be sent to parents via ParentSquare for students absent all or part of the school day. Please contact Irene Henkens at ihenkens@chicocountryday.org if you have any questions regarding ParentSquare notifications.
Student Health and STOPit SafeScreen
As we welcome students back to their on-campus cohort schedules, please keep the following in mind:

  • Parents must complete the STOPit health screener before leaving for school on their student's cohort learning days. CCDS staff must see a green entry pass before allowing students on campus.


  • If your child has any COVID-19 symptoms, we will ask that you report that on the StopIt screener and plan to learn off-campus for 10 days with 24 hours fever-free without the use of medication. A list of symptoms can be found here and is also a part of our daily StopIt Screener. The full text of the CDC Guidance for schools, updated on 11/3/2020 can be found here. 

  • Please keep travel advisories in mind as we return from winter break. If you traveled out of state over the break, please practice the 14-day quarantine time as recommended by the California Department of Public Health before returning to on-campus learning. A negative COVID-19 test is not a substitute for the quarantine time.
