Superintendent's Update
September 1, 2023
Please allow me to extend my warmest welcome to each and every one of you as we embark on the 2023-2024 school year. It is with great joy and anticipation that we gather once again to continue the excellence that defines our school system.
Our teachers and staff have been working hard to ensure your child has a successful start to the school year. They have been engaged in professional development and specialized training over the summer so they can properly equip their students with the necessary skills for a safe and excellent academic experience.
Our commitment to providing a well-rounded education remains steadfast, and we eagerly embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. From advanced academic programs, career and technology programs, to enriching extracurricular activities, we are dedicated to nurturing the comprehensive development of every student.
As we step into this school year, let us carry with us the lessons of the past and the aspirations of the future. Together we will create a community that uplifts, supports, and empowers each other to reach our goals.
I am truly honored to serve as the Superintendent of CCPS and look forward to what we will accomplish in the days and months to come. If there is anything we can do to help you please be sure to let me know!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. Lawson, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

Powerschool Parent Portal Password Changes
The PowerSchool Parent Portal and App will re-open on the first day of school, September 5. Starting this year, parents will be required to change their account password when first logging in for the school year. To do so, parents must visit the PowerSchool Parent Portal login page (https://cecilcountysis.powerschool.com/public/) and log in using their current account credentials. If the user is unsure of those credentials, a Forgot Username and Forgot Password link is available to complete the initial login process. Upon logging in, they will be sent to the password reset page to complete the password change process. Passwords must be at least 12 characters in length and must contain at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter, 1 special character, and 1 numeric character.
App users must complete the process using the online portal and after successfully changing their password, users can log into the app to resume using this tool.
