Here are some tips to help students and to ensure a positive experience for all online classroom participants:

Our kitchen staff is distributing meals every Monday and Wednesday from 11:00 - 12:30 to eligible and interested families. For more information regarding meal distribution please visit ourdistrict's website at https://csd-ca.schoolloop.com/ .

We have set up a distribution center out of our PTA room during Distance Learning for those occassions when you may need to exchange books or pick up additional materials to support your child's learning. Days and times will be communicated by classroom teachers. We appreciate our proctors who are able to help out in this way without students on campus to supervise, A kinder student came with her mom this morning and when we asked her to smile for the picture she informed us that she was....under her mask!
