Welcome Back to CCS!

Dear families,

We had an amazing first day of school here at Corpus Christi! It was a joy to see all the smiling faces coming back to campus after summer break. Our new teachers are so excited to be part of our CCS family and said everyone was so welcoming. I can't think of a better way to start the new year than with such positivity!

As we look ahead to this upcoming school year, we know it will provide many opportunities and adventures for your children to grow academically and spiritually. We recognize that parents are the primary educators of their children, and our faculty and staff members are committed to working with you in a partnership to carry out our school's mission.

Thank you again for entrusting your child's education to Corpus Christi School. We look forward to a wonderful year!

Warmly,

Kristy F. Martin

Principal

Back-to-School Kickoff Guide

Carpool Reminders

It Gets Easier, We Promise!

Full details on Carpool drop-off and pickup are available on our website and in our Back-to-School Kickoff Guide. As a reminder, we have three waves for pickup:

Wave 1: 2:45pm K5, 1st, and 2nd

Wave 2: 2:55pm 3rd, 4th, and 5th

Wave 3: 3:05pm Middle School

If you have children in different waves, remember to come at the time of your oldest child's wave. Please do not enter the carpool line before the assigned time as it can cause delays during dismissal.

Preschool families should reference arrival and dismissal procedures for Preschool students by clicking the link in this email or referencing the Back-to-School Kickoff Guide.

Remember that you must have your child's hang tag hanging from your rearview mirror so it is readable from a distance. This will help make carpool go much quicker.

Auxiliary Class Updates

Performing Arts + SEL Classes

We are excited to share a few announcements regarding our special classes for this year. For the 2026-2027 school year we have partnered with Sunny Side Theater to provide performing arts classes for students in grades PK3-2nd grade each week. Students in grades 3-8 will still have the opportunity to participate in Performing Arts, as Sunny Side will offer after-school Drama Club opportunities, in addition to partnering with us on our school play like last year.

Instead of attending a weekly performing arts class during the school day, students in grades 3-8 will now attend Social Emotional Learning (SEL) classes with our Child Life Specialist, Mrs. Chambliss, as part of their weekly auxiliary class rotation. Research has shown that social and emotional learning (SEL) significantly boosts student success, improving academic performance by an average of 4 percent. We believe our elementary and middle school students will greatly benefit from weekly SEL classes and look forward to Mrs. Chambliss having the opportunity to work with them in this way. She will continue to work with students in our Hearts In Healing program and plans to continue visiting K-2 classrooms for lessons on a regular basis.

Back-to-School Open House

K2 - 8th Grades

August 18th | 6pm

Our Back-to-School Open House provides you with an opportunity to visit your child(ren)'s classrooms to learn more about classroom-specific policies and procedures. Two 30-minute sessions are held so that those with more than one child may visit each classroom. Parents with a child in Middle School should visit the Middle School session first. Please note this is an adult only event. Due to the number of parents that attend this event, we are unable to provide childcare. This year we will NOT have a meeting in the Banquet Hall prior to the classroom portion of the event.
