- At the beginning of each school year, the CCCS staff analyzes assessment data for the purpose of identifying the academic needs of students and planning instruction to meet those needs. Programs or strategies that are not demonstrating success in improving student academic achievement are modified or replaced.

- We believe that the cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic variety within our community is one of the strongest assets for individual and collective progress. We proactively seek out, listen to, and embrace the diverse voices and perspectives that make up our vibrant community. Differentiated instructional strategies are utilized to address the diverse needs of our students.
