Parent Drivers:
Drivers on Study Trips must be recertified every year for the safety of our students! If you have received a training from the office staff in person previously, you may take the refresher test by clicking on the link here. Please print out the final page, sign, and bring into the office. Thank you for taking the time to chaperone, drive, and take this test. We appreciate you!

Swine Flu Outbreak Strategy for CCDS:  
In anticipation of an active flu season this year, we have implemented the recommendations of the CDC. Students with flu-like symptoms will be isolated and required to wear a mask until picked up by a parent.  Please make sure that your emergency information is up to date in the office so that we can contact you in the event your child needs to be sent home.
 
Download a symptom screening tool for parents, in english or spanish, that you may use at home and a flu guide for parents from the CDC.  Please contact our School Nurse, Patty Mott, with any questions or concerns.

Mission
Chico Country Day School is proud to be Fully Accredited by the Schools Commission of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.  The mission of Chico Country Day Charter School is to provide a safe, joyful community where all learners are inspired to achieve their personal best.

CCDS is organized as a 501(c)3 not for profit public benefit corporation and provides parents and students with expanded choices within the public school system in Chico and surrounding counties.
 
CCDS offers a broad and enriched K-8 education, emphasizing integrated teaching based on the California State Teaching Standards. We use a method of teaching based on Integrated Thematic Instruction, or ITI, which weaves subjects together based on a thematic year-long theme and also emphasizing Lifeskills and Lifelong Guidelines. We offer music, including strings, band, and classroom music, art and drama, environmental science, an afterschool program, and a preschool.
Vision
The vision of Chico Country Day School is to create a school that:
  • Offers low class size in every grade, in comparison to other schools.
  • Offers a small community environment for both students and families.
  • Is committed to academic excellence
  • Implements the Integrated Thematic Instruction model
  • Provides a dynamic, interactive classroom environment
  • Develops a school‑wide theme for the entire year.
  • Provides a technology‑rich environment.
  • Grounds instruction in math, science and the arts.
  • Encourages parents to take an active role in the operation of the school.
  • Provides an after-school program for children to complement the academic program of CCDS.
