Of Concern to 4th Grade Parents/Students:
-Due to last week's late start and snow days, our schedule will be different.  We'll finish this week's selection on Tuesday, and begin a new one on Wednesday.

-I am available by appointment from 7:15-7:35 (except Tuesday), 9:48-10:48 (planning period), and 3:00-3:30 with prior arrangements.

Please go to this week's Corpus Christi Colt (link below), find the link for the parent survey, and complete it for us!  Thank you in advance for getting that taken care of.  It is very important to CCCS!  Only 16 families have completed the survey!  Come on intermediate parents---let's get it done!  If you are concerned, it is anonymous!
