Do you know of any CCSD employees who make a difference and are exemplary models of the District’s core values? Recognize one of our many outstanding employees for their commitment to education by submitting a RAVE (Recognize a Valued Employee) Review.
A RAVE Review is an unsolicited acknowledgement of a CCSD employee who has demonstrated excellence of character, performance and service. Submissions should highlight accomplishments that exceed general job expectations and focus on those who go above and beyond for students, parents, fellow staff members, and the community.
