Please keep the following in mind:

• Arrive a few minutes early so we can give you and your student your folders and direct you to the appropriate classroom.
• Appointments have been strategically scheduled to minimize contact with others. 
• All individuals must wear a mask at all times: if you do not have one, we will supply one for you.
• Only one student and one parent are permitted in the assigned classroom.
• Avoid bringing other people with you. 
• Be sure to download the Parent Square app if you have not done so already. Here is the link: https://www.parentsquare.com/. Once you download the app, you will be asked to enter your email address…it will then direct you to our school site. Parent Square messages will be sent weekly…stay informed!

At CCP, we appreciate your partnership and teamwork as we work together for your student’s success. See you soon!

Sincerely,
Maria Osborne, Principal

Hello CCP Students and Families - The 2020 - 2021 School Year is Here!

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we developed our plan for a safe and healthy start of the school year! Beginning on August 12, 2020 and through September 25, 2020 Charter College and Career Prep will be utilizing a Distance Learning model. During that time period, the County Health Department and El Dorado County Office of Education, working closely together, will consider modifications to that plan if needed.

Each student, accompanied by a parent, will be scheduled to meet for one hour with a teacher on August 12th, 13th, or 14th. During the meeting, teachers will address the following:
