School Threats, Serious Consequences

Safety in our schools remains a top priority. As part of the district’s continued commitment to creating secure learning environments, CCPS has developed this video to educate students and their families on the responsible use of FortifyFL, a state-mandated app that enables users to report suspicious activity to law enforcement and school officials in real-time.

Hurricane Make-up Days Activated

Due to Hurricane Helene and Milton, CCPS has missed a total of 7 instructional days. To support our students' academic progress, CCPS will be utilizing the three School Board approved Hurricane Make-up Days scheduled for Monday, November 25, Tuesday, November 26, and Wednesday, November 27. This calendar was approved by the Board in December 2023.

Free Tutoring Opportunities & Late Bus Service

Every Tuesday we offer math tutoring in C-121 and English tutoring in B111 after school until 5. There are two buses that can take our students home at 5:00 pm after tutoring. Parents who are interested in having their student ride the bus after tutoring should ask their child to bring home the late bus permission form explaining the routes and drop-off locations. Students will not be getting off at their normal bus stop. It will be our students' responsibility to know what stop they get off and how to get home from that stop. Parents/Guardians must fill out the permission form and select what color bus route their student has permission to take. Please note that no student will be permitted to ride the bus unless a signed permission form is on file at our school. Parents are encouraged to keep a copy of this form for their records.

In addition, we will have tutoring for all subject areas each Wednesday with our NHS student volunteers in room C-121. Students should bring something they need to work on.
