In order to enter campus, please enter your access code on the touchscreen panel just outside the Jones Rd. entrance.

School Supplies
In an effort to simplify the back-to-school process for parents, CCS will provide some of the school supplies for students in the 2024-2025 school year.
Elementary
In elementary school, CCS will provide school supply boxes for each student in TK through fifth grade. There is no need to order anything; we will have the supplies ready when school starts.
- Grades TK-5 – Parents are asked to provide a full-size backpack and water bottle for your student.
- Grades 3-5 – In addition to the items listed for grades TK-5 above, parents are asked to provide an ESV bible and a no-bleed Bible highlighter.
Middle School & High School
In middle and high school, since it is harder to buy uniform supplies per grade, CCS will provide each student with those items generally required for school, including poster boards, notebook paper, index cards and highlighters.
- Grades 6-12—Parents will be asked to provide class-specific items for their students. The shortened list for middle school is below, and the shortened list for high school will be provided soon; however, we suggest that you wait until your child’s schedule is solidified and then purchase the necessary supplies.
Schoology
Schoology is a learning management system where students and parents can access academic information specific to elementary students in grades 1-5, as well as middle and high school classes. Schoology can be used to view class notes, activities, calendar/lesson plans and to communicate with teachers. This platform is also used to house teacher instructional videos and other information that is important to access during a student’s absence. Schoology will be used daily in the classroom by all secondary on-campus and livestream students.
Service Hours (High School)
Service Hours Requirement
All high school students are encouraged to build a heart of worship through service to their community. A few examples of service include working along with adults in any church or community ministry, lawn/home/pet care for a family friend or a neighbor without pay, volunteering to work in the concession stand during a game or tournament, baking goodies for first responders, or writing letters to service personnel. Note that service hours cannot be performed for family and no compensation should be received.
Students will use FACTS to track the number of service hours they have earned. High School students must complete 10 hours of service per semester for a total of 20 hours per year. Any graduating senior who has accumulated 200+ hours will be acknowledged at the graduation ceremony.
Service Hours (Middle School)
Service Hours Requirement
One goal of CCS is to help develop godly individuals who are usable for God’s service in His church and in the world. All students are encouraged to develop Christ-like character as they practice serving those around them.
In order to build the habit of service, all middle school students are required to log at least five service hours each semester. A few examples of service include working along with adults in any church or community ministry, lawn/home/pet care for a family friend or a neighbor without pay, volunteering to work in the concession stand during a game or tournament, baking goodies for first responders or writing letters to service personnel. Note that service hours cannot be performed for family and no compensation should be received. Bible teachers will provide more information and provide forms that students will turn in by the end of each semester to verify their service.
Social Media

Student Medical Insurance
Please note that the school will require proof of medical insurance coverage in addition to a sports physical and other athletic department forms prior to a student participating in the school sports/co-curricular activities. Please log in to your FACTS Family Portal and go to School / Web Forms / Family Demographic Form / Student Medical Form and enter your insurance company name, policy number and expiration date. A copy of your insurance card is no longer required.
Summer Reading & Assignments
Elementary Summer Reading Challenge for Incoming First-Sixth Grade
Incoming First through Sixth Grade students have a few more days to work on the summer reading challenge! The challenge is based on the number of minutes a student reads and appeals equally to all ages and abilities. Readers will receive congratulatory medals when we return to school in August. Reading begins May 23. Email Mrs. Parker if you have any questions: [email protected].
- How to Participate – Color one box on the Minute Log for every 10 minutes you read. There is no time limit to how many minutes you can read in a day, but it is better to read for smaller amounts of time every day than for long periods of time every now and then.
- Logging Is Important! – Keep track of your Minute Log and return it to school by Friday, August 16. The log must be signed by the student and a parent.
- What Can You Read? – Students may read books, eBooks, magazines, graphic novels and nonfiction.
- Set a Goal and Succeed! – Students will receive medals when we return to school in August: 600 minutes = Bronze, 1,000 minutes = Silver, 1,400 minutes = Gold, 1,750 minutes = WOW!
- Incoming First & Second-Grade Parents – It is important for young readers to read independently and also engage in shared reading experiences, as both are critical to the process of learning to read. This challenge is intended to increase your child’s exposure to books and to create positive reading experiences over the summer. Therefore, both independent reading and reading aloud to your child will count towards minutes earned.
Enjoy your summer and happy reading! 😊
