Username: lastname.firstname@ccpsstudent.org
Password: (school) lunch number (no space)
Quarantined students in need of help with assignments may connect with a tutor at the school 3:00 to 4:00 pm, Monday through Thursday. Zoom links for tutors may be found on the student’s Google Classroom.
Guidelines:
- Join the Zoom early so teachers have enough time to help you.
- If a teacher is with another student, they may message you to wait a few minutes, ask you to join at a later time, or work with multiple students at a time.
- If there is a day a teacher is unavailable, the sheet will say “Unavailable” and the date, next to the teacher’s name - log in the next day for help.
If your home does not have internet access (to connect with Google Classroom), a Kajeet Smartspot may be available through the school. If the device does not enable connectivity, please contact the school.

If a problem arises at school as a result of a child misusing social media, the situation will be discussed with the students involved and often their parents if warranted. Consequences may follow depending on the situation and what the interaction has been between the students involved while at school.
