Important Information
1) NEW REGISTRATION OPENS JANUARY 13, 2025
We will be opening new registration on January 13, 2025. Any current families that have not yet completed registration will not have their seats guaranteed, as we will be starting to accept new families.
2) CCS CHRISTMAS CONCERT
A BIG thank you to Mrs. Hosein and Ms. Shantz for their incredible work and vision in making our Christmas Concert a huge success! Congratulations to our talented Gr. 6 and 7 cast, ensemble, backstage crew, and the sound and lighting team for all their hard work behind the scenes. We also want to acknowledge all the students who contributed to the success of this performance.
A heartfelt thank you to our families and guests for your generosity in donating and supporting our concessions and bread tables. Thanks to your contributions, we raised $300 for Mary’s Meals, which is deeply appreciated by the organization. Your generous door donations also helped cover the cost of licensing fees, sound and light rentals, and the services of our amazing sound technician.
3) USED UNIFORM UPDATE
As of January 1, 2025 we will only be accepting and selling Cambridge uniform Pieces. Top Marks will be no longer part of the CCS uniform as of September 2026.
If you have any donations of Cambridge only for the Used Uniform Program, please drop them off at the school office as we will collect from there. Please make sure they are in good repair and free of stains. If you wish to trade for larger sizes please let us know the size and uniform pieces you are interested in. Please note we are just starting with Cambridge in the used uniforms so selection will be limited.
This is the sizes available online from the Cambridge Website in each item, please refer to the Cambridge website for sizing (in terms of inches etc). We can not judge by age or grade what size your student will need.
When requesting please be specific as Cambridge has Child, Youth and Adult. Asking for a small does not let us know which category. We will be having periodic sales throughout the year. In between please reply to this email with what you are looking for.

4) PARENT PARTICIPATION UPDATE
Families, with less than two weeks left in 2024, are you on track to complete your parent participation hours? The requirement is 34 regular hours and 6 maintenance hours. Deadline is May 31st, 2025. Non completion rates are as follows; $30 per missing regular hour and $60 per missing maintenance hour.
Per the parent participation policy, kindly submit any ad hoc tasks within one month of completion in order for it to be approved. Anything submitted past that date, and approval is at the discretion of the coordinator. A "no show" for a volunteer shift without prior notification to the coordinator will result in a no show penalty of $25 per missed shift. 3 no shows and the family will be removed from the program and billed for any outstanding hours.
