It’s a busy Monday in CCSD schools! Teachers are in professional development sessions across the county, immersing themselves in our new ELA and math instructional materials. School Nutrition teams are meeting for in-service training. Schools are putting all the final touches on buildings and grounds to get ready for Friday! Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis stopped by Woodstock High School to thank the front office staff for their hard work getting ready for the new school year, the next phase of our mission to become the highest performing school district in Georgia! Dr. Davis also stopped in a couple of professional development classes while at Woodstock High. #ElevateTheExcellence #ccsd1stday2025
