Emergency & Weather Notifications

CCS uses SchoolMessenger (K–12) and Brightwheel (PreK) to send critical notifications about weather-related updates, building emergencies, and urgent district-wide announcements. At a minimum, alerts are shared through our Emergency Alert System and the district/building homepages at www.calschools.org. For full details, visit our Emergency & Weather Notifications page.

Please avoid calling the Transportation Office or the Administration Building.  Use the methods outlined on our Emergency & Weather Notifications page for the most up-to-date information.
