Team Chesterfield Game Changer Submissions are OPEN
At the roots of a strong public school division are an exceptional faculty and staff and a committed base of community supporters. Chesterfield County Public Schools is fortunate to have both!
Each month, to help recognize the game-changing work – inside and outside of schools – that our outstanding staff members do on a daily basis, the school division celebrates Team Chesterfield members who go above and beyond. Team Chesterfield's Game Changers are those who step up to meet the needs of our students; offer support and access to resources that assist their colleagues; provide an extra layer of support for families outside of the classroom; and who generally make a positive and sometimes life-changing difference in the lives of our students, families and their colleagues. Click here to nominate a CCPS staff member.
Each month, the Superintendent chooses four staff members from each magisterial district to be recognized for outstanding service. One central office member monthly will be recognized as well.
Want to recognize a Team Chesterfield Game Changer in your life? Submit nominations for the upcoming recognitions by Sept. 21.
