Important Update for CCSD1 Families

Beginning October 20, CCSD1 will transition to LiveSchool for our behavior tracking and rewards system.

After testing behavior tracking through Rooms, we found that the reporting features did not provide the level of clarity and detail needed by our teachers and families. LiveSchool offers a more robust and transparent system for tracking student behavior, while also allowing students to earn rewards for positive actions and choices.

This change will help strengthen communication between school and home and support a positive learning environment for all students.

LiveSchool access codes and setup instructions will be distributed to families by classroom teachers to assist with account setup and ensure a smooth transition.

Thank you for your continued support!

As we continue our strategic planning journey, we'd like to share a quick update. We recently held our initial planning meeting, bringing together a diverse group of 24 internal and external stakeholders, called the Strategic Planning Team. During this session, the team developed a strategic plan placemat outlining the proposed mission, vision, values, goals, and objectives for the district.

This placemat will be presented during our upcoming vetting sessions, where we’ll gather input and feedback from multiple stakeholders that represent not only our district but also our community. All stakeholder insights are essential to shaping our strategic plan, and we encourage your active participation. We cordially invite you to participate in one of these sessions scheduled in the Central Administration boardroom on October 1st or 2nd, 2025.

DIS/DUES Families - Just a reminder that parent drop off begins each morning at 7:35 am. Students are not allowed to be dropped off until this time, as staff start their day at 7:30 am. Please do not drop your child off until staff members are present outside both in the drop-off loop and on the playground. The loop will be opened at 7:30 am for students to start arriving at school. Again, thank you for helping us to keep your child safe.
