The fall edition of CCPS on the Go is available in English and Spanish. In this issue, we celebrate opening a new Falling Creek Middle and share about ongoing construction activities for other new schools. We highlight achievements of students and staff as well as school activities. Also in this issue: 55 experienced teachers from 12 countries are now working as full-time educators in Chesterfield County Public Schools.

CCPS on the Go began in 2021 as a printed publication that was mailed to every home in Chesterfield County. Starting with this issue, the award-winning publication is shifting to a digital format. An archive of all issues (in English and Spanish) is online.

Everyone within CCPS works to support students and help them grow into strong young people. When there is a problem, we want to connect with students and families to solve it. As we enter week two of the 2024-2025 school year, we want to be sure that families know what to do if you have a concern. Communicating to school staff members is the best way to start. Here is a handy chart to help the problem-solving process
