Greetings CSS Family
We hope you and yours are doing well. Today we would like to announce that CSS will go to FULL REMOTE learning starting on August 17, 2020. We have been working diligently over the summer to come up with the safest & healthiest way to begin this school year and had hoped that we would be welcoming students & staff into the building. With CMS deciding last week to go completely remote, we feel at this time that CSS should follow Plan C as well to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
We still have quite a few details to work out and will update you as soon as we can. We are planning an Open House of sorts and appreciate your patience with us as we continue to plan for this school year.
Thank you.
