FUN FESTIVEWEAR in DECEMBER

The uglier the better!

CLUBS

Calling all 4th and 5th Graders! Cold is Cool! A Ski and Ride Passport

This passport is good at 29 participating locations in Michigan.

*This is not a school-provided program, but wanted to pass along the information to take advantage of this savings!

Check out https://www.goskimichigan.com/programs/cold-is-cool/ for more information about this program and to register.

Here's just a little info. on what's needed to sign up:

Proof of 4th or 5th grade status is required. One page of a report card or progress report is sufficient. If the child is homeschooled, the parent or guardian can include a note stating the child’s grade equivalent.
You must also upload a photo (headshot) of your child, which serves as an ID.
MSIA charges $30 for the Cold is Cool Passport App, which covers program costs, maintenance and an $8 donation to MIsnow and Share Winter Foundation.
The Passport is valid through the end of the 2024/25 ski season. Dates vary by ski area.
In order for fourth and fifth graders to use the free lift or trail passes, a paying adult must accompany them.
The Cold is Cool Passport cannot be used when an adult obtains a lift ticket with the White Gold Card or other discounted lift ticket programs.

Day of Giving Award Recipients

If your student was awarded a non-uniform day and/or a special popcorn treat at lunch from The Day of Giving, due to the snow day this past week, these events have been rescheduled for THIS Monday, December 16th.

Be In-the-Know with Remind.Com

If you are new to CCS this year ... or realized on our snow-day yesterday that you haven't signed up for our all-school, mass-text tool called Remind.com, please do so now! This is what we use for school closing alerts and other important messages. (If you've already signed up for texts in previous years, you do not need to sign up again.)

We ask that at least one parent be connected to Remind. Here are the instructions:

Text the message: @23336c

To the number: 81010

If you have any issues, please let us know.

If you have a nanny, babysitter, grandparent, etc. who would benefit from knowing about school closures, they are more than welcome to sign up (they just need to understand they will receive all of the messages sent out via Remind).
