CCA Husky Happenings
September 2017
Wow! 2017-18 school year off to a great start!
So far this year:
- CCA Scholars are developing their PACKs. PACK stands for Promoting Academics, Collaboration and Kindness. These smaller groups within our school are designed so students of all grade levels working with staff have opportunities to learn and grow as leaders, develop relationships, and support the principles of CCA, respect and responsibility. In PACK we work on the soft skills of business such as communication, empathy, teamwork, enthusiasm, networking, and professionalism.
- Student Council planned a festive Welcome Activity for PACKs to spend a little time getting to know each other and starting to work as a team. Way to go StuCo!
Let's keep up the great work!

Please contact Mrs. Griffin or Mrs. Mar with questions or concerns about TCC courses.
**Note to 10th grade US Government students and parents: Because Mrs. Smyth has not been given access to the MyTCC Blackboard, the syllabus and grades will be housed in the CISD Blackboard. Once Mrs. Smyth is provided access, all course information will be transferred to MyTCC Blackboard and removed from CISD Blackboard.
