During the month of October, we join schools throughout the Commonwealth and nationwide to celebrate Disability History and Awareness Month. Join us as we celebrate the important contributions of individuals with disabilities to our schools and community. #CPSCelebrates
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Together, we can educate others and raise awareness to combat bullying and cyberbullying. We encourage you to use this month to participate in acts of kindness and speak up when someone is being bullied.
🗣️Remember, if you see something, say something.
Due to inclement weather, all after-school and evening activities for today, September 27, 2024, are canceled. YMCA child care and Boys and Girls Club will remain open this afternoon.
📝Join us as we discuss unique aspects that make Chesapeake Public Schools a stand out employer. Participants will gain an understanding of the application process and the opportunity to ask questions.
