This year CCSD has installed new financial program for school accounting.  This new program no longer will provide information which were available through our previous program.

I have been informed by the county financial services dept that contribution information regarding individual student cannot be released for the purpose to send 2nd  and subsequent notices to collect donation. When second notice is required, entire class must receive 2nd and subsequent notices of donation for the field trip. I am permitted to provide teacher with total collected funds. You may notify parent regarding missing permission slip.

In accordance with county mandate, student statements will be provided at least twice each school year.  Any time during the school year,  when a parent has inquiry or requests information regarding their child/ren's contribution status, copy of student statement can be provided for the current year.

I apologize for the inconvenience.  Changes in the new financial program were not informed and as I continue to learn about the program, I will inform you of any changes which may affect you.
