Welcome to school year 2020-2021! While this will be a different type of start then we’ve ever experienced, the Middle School staff is committed to making this an extraordinary year for all of our students and families!
DISTANCE LEARNING IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL
Capital City Middle School will deliver an engaging and challenging program for 5th - 8th grade students during distance learning. Learn more in the resources below.
LEARNING STARTS HERE!
Capital City Middle School students can find schedules, Zoom links for classes/Crew, and assignments in Google Classroom in Clever.
Log in to JumpRope to view grades.
REMINDERS:
- Clever should automatically open as the homepage on your school-issued Chromebook. Scroll down on this webpage to Technology Support for help.
- Individual schedules and JumpRope account passwords were emailed to families. Please reach out to your child's Crew leader if you have questions.
- Families were invited as "observers" in Google Classroom. Please email your child's teacher(s) if you have questions.
SCHEDULES
View the Master Schedule for 5th-8th grade students. Individual schedules were emailed to all families in August (check your inbox for an email from registrar@ccpcs.org). You can also view your child's schedule in Clever. If you have any questions, please reach out to your Crew leader.
COMMUNICATION WITH FAMILIES
