There have been ongoing issues with the use of the library parking lot as a pickup site for students. Some parents are stopping their cars in the middle of the parking lot and creating makeshift pickup lanes, despite instructions from library and security staff. Recently, this led to a few near-miss situations, with cars almost colliding because they were waiting in non-parking spaces.

They are ask for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of all by following the designated pickup areas and parking rules.

Thank you for your understanding.

P.S.

We have also received complaints from residents about cars are blocking driveways and major thorough which is becoming dangerous for the residents that live there.

CCSD will be sending out a mass notification at approximately 5 pm on September 18 to determine the phone call, email, and text message deliverable rates of the Mass Notification system.

Greeting Parents/Guardians and students,

Welcome Back!! I hope that you all had a great restful summer. As we prepare our scholars for the road ahead, the school counseling department of C. E. Williams South would like to extend the invitation for your scholar to participate in the PSAT testing. On Tuesday, October 15, 2024, your scholar will have the opportunity to take the PSAT/NMSQT® (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test).

This is an important test that provides many benefits that can help your scholar along the path to college. The PSAT/NMSQT is great practice for the SAT® . They’ll also get personalized feedback on their performance to help improve their skills before taking the SAT as well as improve their skills currently.

In addition, students receive free college planning tools to help them start their college search and feedback on the types of AP courses for which they may be particularly well prepared. Taking these college-level classes can help students earn college credit while still in high school and provide them with a competitive advantage in the college admission process.

If you are interested in your scholar participating in this opportunity, please use this link https://forms.gle/4gwy2QTv8SrfVejn7 to register. Due dates are included in the registration form.
