This Thursday, families all over the tri-county area as well as across the nation will gather to give thanks for the many blessings God has bestowed upon our families and communities. At CCS we are thankful for the parents, students, and staff he has brought to our school and how we have been able to work together to learn and grow in knowledge and in our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
God has blessed us with quality and talented students. Two of our students who also attend Chester County Technical College High School were named students of the quarter. Cyle Fulton in HVAC/Refrigeration Technology and Cayla Murphy in Cosmetology were selected in recognition of outstanding leadership, attitude, skills, and knowledge.
This Wednesday the weather services are forecasting snow. Fortunately, we are off that day as part of our Thanksgiving break. However, if we were in school and we had snow or ice, you would be informed of any school delays or closings by our automated RenWeb Parent Alert.
Information will also be available:
- By checking the CCS website after 6:10 am to see an updated CCS schedule.
- By calling CCS after 6:10 am to listen for an updated phone message about the CCS schedule.
- By watching WGAL.
When school is delayed, parents must also listen for an announcement of the plans of the school district of residence. If your public school district transports your child(ren), they will be transported to and from CCS on the public school district schedule. When your school district closes or delays school and CCS does not, if possible, please arrange for your child(ren) to be at school on the CCS schedule. If it is not possible to provide transportation, please call the school office to inform the school of your child’s absence. When CCS delays school and your district does not, be assured that students will be supervised when they arrive.
Please carefully monitor all of the above for accurate information as changes may occur throughout the morning.
When there is a two-hour delay, classes begin at 10:10. When there is a one-hour delay in the opening of school, classes begin at 9:10.
When there is a two-hour delay, classes begin at 10:10. When there is a one-hour delay in the opening of school, classes begin at 9:10.
Early Dismissals:
- If CCS decides to close early, and your district is on a normal schedule, students will be supervised until transportation arrives for them.
- If your district announces an early dismissal, student drivers in that district will be dismissed along with the bus riders.
- CCS will activate the automated phone call system.
- CCS will change the CCS phone message to reflect any early dismissals by CCS and/or transporting districts.
When we return from Thanksgiving, it will be December, and we have several events on the calendar. On December 5 and 6 CCS will be hosting the Cougar Classic which kicks off our boys and girls varsity basketball season. The girls play at 7:00 pm and the boys at 8:30 pm on December 5.
Reports cards will be sent home December 9, and on December 12 our school has its annual Christmas Concert which features our choirs from grades PreK-12 and our school band. The festivities begin at 7:00 pm at Hopewell Christian Fellowship. For more information visit our music conservatory website at http://conestogamusic.weebly.com/.
Finally on Friday morning, December 19, all grades will travel in mixed groups to visit and sing carols to the residents of various nursing homes in the area as we seek to share the message and love of our Savior come to earth.
