We loved welcoming Senator Chuck Payne, who stopped by to read "Every Amazing Song" by Coy Bowles and Malcolm Mitchell to our Youngest Jackets. As part of this statewide initiative, every Pre-K student across GA received a copy of the book to take home.
Thank you, Senator Payne, for celebrating early learning with us! #GAPreKWeek #BeThere
The Voluntary Action Center’s Fired Up Food Drive is October 19–23! Last year, CCS collected more than 12,000 non-perishable food items, and this year, we’re going BIG with a districtwide goal of 20,000! 🥫🐝
The challenge is on! Students are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items throughout the week and help their class, grade level, and school lead the way! We'll share school-specific challenges, competitions, and incentives soon.
Every donation counts, and every item can help a neighbor. Let’s #BeThere and make a BIG impact for the community we call home!


A special shout-out to our CCS instructional coaches who work behind the scenes to support our teachers, strengthen instruction, and help every Jacket succeed. Thank you for all you do each day to inspire excellence across CCS! #BeThere
