A MESSAGE FROM THE CR BUSINESS OFFICE - REFUNDS
The Council Rock Business Office is actively working on refunding payments previously made for:

We kindly ask families to be patient as office representatives address a large volume of refund requests submitted as a result of the COVID-19 school closure.
Thank you, and stay well -

In addition to this plan, families will find many resources and links in the District's Distance Learning Hub as well as in our COVID-19 Hub. Resources provided have been thoughtfully developed and selected to complement the ongoing education and support that Council Rock is providing for students and families.
