The college has made the determination to start distance learning courses for the remainder of the semester starting on March 30th. Starting on the 30th, students will be expected to follow the directions of their professors regarding submitting work and logging into class sessions on the online platforms the professor chooses to use.
Students who are not taking CCP Courses, please continue to utilize this time to review lessons, catch up on assignments and Edgenuity. If needed, the district has learning packet resources available for students to utilize during this time.
