K-8 students will begin in-person instruction starting Monday November 9th, with families also having the option to remain virtual. Below are a few helpful links to check out with regards to our reopening:
- CCSD Weekly Update - posted 11/6
- CCSD Reopening Information FAQ - posted 10/30
- CCSD Reopening Info tab (contains all documents and updates from the school district)
- Hilsman Town Hall Nov. 5th SlideshowAsynchronous Work Day for Virtual Students on Monday 11/9
There will be no Zoom classes for virtual students on Monday -- instead, teachers will post asynchronous assignments on Google Classroom for students to work on independently. This is because much of Monday will be spent going over new rules and procedures with our face-to-face students as we get used to returning to the building.
New Schedule
Now that some students are returning to the building, the class schedule is changing to reflect a more typical school day. The biggest changes are that students will now have an ELT class and an extra Connections class as well. Please see below for the updated daily schedule:
Students should now be able to see their new schedules in Infinite Campus, and they will also receive an email from Mr. Hussain this weekend with their new schedule (including Zoom links for our virtual learners). Finally, in-person students will get a printed copy of their new schedule on Monday in homeroom.
Bus Information
Here is the link for families to determine bus transportation for face-to-face students!
Uniforms Not Required, but Mask Up!
Uniforms are optional for students returning in person. Students who choose not to wear uniforms must still follow the CCSD Dress Code, which can be found in the Hilsman Town Hall Slideshow from earlier this week.
All in-person students are required and expected to wear masks. In homeroom on Monday, all students will receive 2 reusable masks, a laptop bag, a reusable water bottle, an agenda, and a student code of conduct. Teachers will also have disposable face masks for students who may forget or not have masks.
Quarter 2 Starts Monday
Monday also marks the end of the 1st quarter and the beginning of the 2nd quarter this school year! Teachers will be posting final grades for Q1 on Monday, and Q1 Report Cards will be distributed and/or mailed home in the days following.

How can I support my student?
You are the most important person in helping your student succeed, and we want you to partner with us so we can help students be as successful as possible.
Help your student establish a routine that includes a consistent bedtime wake up time.
Help them establish a consistent place to work during class with a table/desk.
Help your student find a consistent place for school materials so they always know where their materials are. Help them organize their materials and/or papers for each class.
Headphones will be very helpful if there is more than one student attending class.
