Recent Activity
After many months of discussion, planning, and research, CCS is pleased to announce a technology and education initiative that transforms the way we teach, and how our students learn. This plan began with our Capital Project which allowed us to strengthen our technology infrastructure to support wireless networking. The Technology Committee proposed a one to one initiative at the Middle School level following numerous meeting, surveys, and research. At the core of this educational initiative is a one-to-one learning environment for students in grades 6 - 8.
Each CCS Middle School student will have access to an iPad, allowing them to explore, discover, invent and stay connected – in and out of the classroom. With our faculty’s guidance, our students are able to learn and discover through an enhanced curriculum.
