Invitation letters for students recommended for summer school were sent home last week. Students identified for summer school were selected based on multiple data points indicating a need for accelerated instruction.
If your child received a letter, please complete the backside by acknowledging attendance, requesting transportation if needed, and providing all pertinent information required for summer school registration.
Additional information regarding summer school programs can be found on the CCISD website:

Happy Thursday! We’ve had several parents and guardians share that they’d love to treat our Teachers but aren’t sure what to get. Please take a moment to review our Teachers’ “Favorite Things” list! Each Teacher’s name is listed on a tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet for reference. Thank you so much for thinking of our Teachers and for treating them! They truly deserve it and so much more! 💛🖤❤️ #RoadrunnerPride #WeAreSmith #BeepBeep #CCISDproud #suCCessISD https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JD_j4f6vhMUfmVCswjA801FauaCWGir9PORBXk1AkyY/edit?usp=sharing
