The PTP is our parent organization that functions in the same manner as a PTA or PTO at district schools. This group was formed as a conduit for assisting teachers and administration in the organization of our parent force for the overall good of our school community. The parent community elects PTP officers once a year, and this leadership group facilitates community activities, such as Grandpeople's Day, Back to School Night, New Parent Orientation, 100th Day of School Celebration, and Multicultural Day, among many others. PTP plays an important role in facilitating the parent hour requirement of our school. Each family is required, as a condition of enrollment, to complete 50 hours per year of service to CCDS.

PTP hosts monthly meetings for parents to discuss various topics, such as curriculum, fundraisers, or any issues that have arisen that parents would like addressed. Often the Principal speaks on a topic or a teacher or class visits to discuss what is going on in the classroom.

As we are a Charter School, much of our philosophy hinges on parents and families being involved in their student's education
It is proven by a great deal of prominent educational research that when parents or family members are involved at school in the education of their child, the child's success in school dramatically increases. In addition, we seek to create a school environment that invites family participation and involvement and that works as a community united in a common purpose. In order to create a strong school community where every child can reach his or her fullest potential, each family must be involved at the school.
Just as we view each child as a unique individual, so we see each family as a unique partner in their child's education. Just as each child has his or her strengths and challenges, so does each family. With this belief, CCDS has several ways for families to be involved.

Chico Country Day School underwent the steps needed for accreditation by the WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) board and was granted a 6 year accreditation!
Each school is evaluated on the basis of the WASC criteria and the appropriateness of the school's stated purpose, school-wide student goals and the degree to which it accomplishes these.
The full WASC accreditation process had three stages: the self-study, the visit, and the follow-up. A school's philosophy and the WASC criteria serve as the underlying basis for these stages.
The steps of the self-study are:
- Understanding the school improvement purpose of the self-study
- Analyzing/understanding the criteria
- Developing, clarifying and assessing accomplishment of school-wide student goals (expected school-wide learning results)
- Comparing the school program to the criteria
Thank you to our parents and staff for accomplishing such a significant goal! Congratulations!
