EVERY STUDENT needs to have this form filled out. The 2024-25 Student Benefits Form (Household Income Data Collection) information is used to help provide school meals at no charge to all students, along with other districtwide services.

Starting November 1, 2024, CCPS will begin to obligate students for damaged and missing technology equipment. The CCPS Student Technology Obligation Program is designed to promote students' responsible use of technology and reduce damage costs through a tier-based pricing system. This program aligns with the Technology Obligation Regulation (Reference: III.31.71R) and the CCPS Terms of Use Agreement governing the use of technology by students.

Program Objectives:

• Cost Reduction: Minimize repair and replacement costs for student-issued technology devices.
• Responsibility Encouragement: Encourage students to take responsibility for the care and use of their assigned devices.

Tiered Pricing Reference: For details on the tiered pricing structure, please take a look at the Tiered Obligation Pricing. This document outlines the pricing levels based on the type and extent of damage.

Payment Processing: Tech obligations are treated like any other in-school obligation:

• In-School Payments: Payments may be collected at the school level and forwarded to the Central Office Finance Department for processing. When a payment is received in school, it must be documented, and the in-school tech should be notified to update the system accordingly.
• Online Payments: Parents and students can also make payments conveniently online using MySchoolBucks at CCPS Tech Payments.

Congratulations on having a senior this year! This will be a busy, but exciting year for you!! Here are some important dates to get on the calendar:

May 27: Graduation Rehearsal 8:30am - 2:30pm - all seniors are expected to attend (Seniors SHOULD NOT plan to work during the day. If employers need proof, I can provide a note.)

May 28: Graduation Ceremony 6pm CRHS

As more dates become available, they will be shared via this weekly update, school social media and student/family email.

CAP AND GOWN INFORMATION

Jostens will be at the school on October 15 at 2pm for a senior meeting. Cap and gown information will be shared and students will receive ordering materials. All seniors are expected to attend. If a senior is not in the building at that time, they can get all ordering information from Mrs. France. Jostens will return to the school on October 21 to take cap and gown orders during all lunch shifts. ORDERS CAN BE PLACED WITHOUT A DOWN PAYMENT. PAYMENT CAN BE MADE AT A LATER DATE. It is important that orders are placed before December 31, as prices increase after the first of the year. Mrs. France can help with ordering if needed.

SENIOR PORTRAIT MAKE-UP DATE

Senior Portraits will be taken again on October 21. This is only for students who missed the summer dates. Students should have received an email with information about signing up for a portrait time. This is free and will be used for the yearbook photo. Purchasing photos is optional.

Please check your email regularly for graduation updates. Contact Bernadette France (france.bernadette@ccpsstaff.org) at the school with any questions.
