Welcome to CCSS

Summer is the perfect time to catch up on your reading. Check out the Summer 2022 Suggested Reading List that was compiled by Chesapeake Public Schools librarians.

Over the summer, choose books on the grade level they will be going into. (Unless you know that your child needs modifications up or down.)

Reading–lots and lots of reading–is the only way to keep kids growing as readers. But kids need lots of good books. That is why the CPS librarians have made this book list.

At CCSS, we strive to keep you informed of everything happening day to day in your students’ classes.  Stay up-to-date with all things happening at CCSS by checking out our newsletter!  

We are so appreciative to everyone that has supported our fundraiser “Lather Up Sharks!”  We still have soaps available.  Please contact the main office to make a purchase.

Lather up Sharks

We are currently seeking donations to help support the students and staff at the Chesapeake Center for Student Success.  Any amount donated will directly benefit the CCSS family.  HELP the SHARKS by making a donation online straight to the school via Online School Payments (OSP).  We appreciate any help you can provide.  Thank you!

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.

During the month of February, we have many exciting activities to share with the students and community.

Our high school students recently took the W!se Financial Literacy Exam.   Student test results demonstrated proficiency in personal finance as they achieved a passing score on this nationally standardized Financial Literacy Certification Test.  All of our students passed, hence CCSS 100 % pass rate continues.  This is one way we show GREATNESS SHARKS!  Special thanks to our own Mr. D. Thaw for a job well done!

The CCSS Health and Wellness Committee is committed to making sure our students and staff practice mindfulness.  During the month of November and December they will be recognizing those that intentionally practice mindfulness.  They also are providing ideas and guiding after school yoga sessions!

Thank you to the women of CRC and the GLOW Conference for donating their time to paint our hall.  CCSS looks GREAT!!!  Special thank you to Tina Manley, Sade Cole, and Misha Turner.

Thank you to the GREATEST staff and students in the world.  We had an awesome time with our Family Feud event.  This cross-curricular activity was a blast.  Thank you Mr. Watkins for all of your hard work.  Both students and staff had a great day!
