July 23rd Update:
Dear Families,
In these unprecedented times, I know you have many questions and I hope that as we have more clarity of our situation I can begin to answer many of them. It is a challenging time to manage reopening a school and be mindful of the possible scenarios that could be part of the year ahead. The school’s Advisory Board and the Finance team at CPC have provided thoughtful guidance and expertise in support of the school’s plans to reopen. As new scenarios present themselves, we are aware our plans may have to be revised. Rest assured that we are making every effort to re-open the school in a safe and secure manner.

We will adhere to their safety protocols and cleaning procedures should an outbreak occur within the school. CPC-WNSK retains the right to close at any time should community circumstances in Summit deem it necessary to keep our families and staff safe.

Should a family opt-out, they will not receive virtual instruction and will forfeit their space should we return to in-person instruction at any time. However, a family can request to be reinstated with pro-rated tuition should space allow.

Should a family opt-out, a credit will be determined by total tuition, minus time in the classroom, minus the nonrefundable deposits and 20% tuition. This credit will be reflected on their January bill.

Kindergarten will include Google Classroom and/or Seesaw for interactive learning and assessment, large and small group zoom meetings, reading specialist small group and individual instruction, and one-on-one virtual instruction with classroom Teachers. The 4’s, 3, and 2 ½’s, will follow a similar format (minus the Reading instruction) and keep to instruction and assessment standards as appropriate for each age level. We will provide lesson suggestions with interaction with teachers through Zoom, videos, Google Classroom, and appropriate virtual platforms.

I hope having both of these will equip with the tools to make the best decision regarding this upcoming school year for your family.
For us to continue with appropriate planning to welcome your children in September, we need to know who is planning to enroll for the September-December session. The first half payment due July 30th will communicate to us your intent to return. We appreciate your commitment and cherish partnering with you. We are committed to providing a safe community for learning and nurturing for your children.
