What you can do to support your child at home... Get your child talking...ask questions! Instead of, “How was school today?” Try these: What is the best thing that happened today? Tell me something funny that happened. What was the best part of math today? What did you read about today? Tell me about recess.

We value your input! Digital Survey PTO Talk with your child’s teachers Attend parent / teacher conferences Nov. 1st/ 2nd Let us know how we can make CCAS A better place to learn
