Dear CSD Families and Staff,

I’m happy to share that full power has been restored to both school buildings.

Monday, August 24, will be a teacher workday so staff can prepare the buildings and classrooms. We will welcome our students back on Tuesday, August 25.

We know this closure has been disruptive for families and staff, especially amid the uncertainty about when power would be restored. Thank you for being patient and flexible while we waited for the buildings to be ready to reopen safely.

We also recognize that some members of our community are still without power. Please reach out if we can support you in any way.

Grab-and-go breakfast and lunch will remain available to all CSD students at the ELC on Monday from 9:00–10:00 a.m.

Thank you for trusting us to make the right decisions for the safety of our students and staff. I’m incredibly proud of how the CSD community has come together, and we cannot wait to see everyone on Tuesday.

Superintendent

Dear CSD Families and Staff,

I want to provide everyone with an update on our buildings and reopening plans. We currently have only partial power and cannot safely reopen until full power has been restored. We remain in communication with NIPSCO, but unfortunately, we have not been given a firm restoration date.

Once full power is restored, teachers and staff will report the following day for a teacher workday to prepare the buildings and classrooms. Students will return the day after that. We will communicate those dates as soon as we receive confirmation that power has been fully restored.

Beginning Monday, August 24, we will provide grab-and-go breakfast and lunch for all CSD students from 9:00–10:00 a.m. each weekday until school fully reopens. Additional pickup details will be shared through ParentSquare.

We know this continued uncertainty is difficult for our families and staff. Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we work to reopen safely. We will continue providing updates as soon as new information becomes available.

CSD Staff: Please watch your email for additional information from Mr. Cummins.
