Mustang Rundown

Spring Picture Day- February 21st (only if families pre-purchase/see your email)

Attendance Procedures: Please email Mrs. Hagen (carla_hagen@ccpsnet.net) when your child is absent.

Several illnesses are making the rounds, so the CCPS Office of Student Health Services offers these reminders fighting germs and staying healthy:

• Hand washing prevents the spread of disease and illness. Wash hands frequently using soap and water, especially before eating, after using the bathroom and handling pets.

• Be sure your child’s immunizations and routine well-child exams are up to date.

• Teach your child to do the following when ill:

• Cover nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing and throw the tissue in the trash.

• Wash hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing.

• Avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth as that can spread germs.

Students who are sick should remain home until they are fever-free for a full 24 hours

without the use of fever-reducing medication and other symptoms have improved so

they are feeling well enough to participate in school activities. Additional sick day guidelines are available here.

February is Black History Month. Chesterfield County and Virginia State University offer a variety of programs throughout the month that include movies, theater, music, historical reenactments, crafts and books. Details are available here.

Volunteers needed! We think our staff is soup-er and would love to warm their hearts with a soup luncheon on February 26th. Please consider signing up. Thank you!

Each month, the superintendent recognizes outstanding staff members who go above and beyond. Game Changers are those who step up to meet the needs of 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. Our very own Mr. Costantino was selected as someone who is changing the game for the month of January!

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 game changer in your life? Complete the nomination form. (Please know that your comments may be shared publicly as the recognition occurs.)

Nominations are due by the 21st of each month.

Everyone within CCPS works to support students and help them grow into strong young people. When there is a problem, we want to connect with students and families to solve it. As we enter week two of the 2024-2025 school year, we want to be sure that families know what to do if you have a concern. Communicating to school staff members is the best way to start. Here is a handy chart to help the problem-solving process
