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! It's part of our Accredidation Process. Only 16 families have completed the survey!  Come on intermediate parents---let's get it done!  If you are concerned, it is anonymous!
