- Parents must stay in their vehicle throughout the entire process.
- If possible, parents should wear a mask and gloves.
- Parents must physically pick packets up from the table; staff will not hand them off. Process might change if it is windy.
- Help prevent delays by avoiding long discussions with staff; use the AskCCPS tab at ccboe.com for specific questions.
- Those on foot (walkers) without vehicles should look for a “walker” table; there will be a separate table preventing parents from walking up to staff.
- High school parents need to know what specific classes their child is taking for faster service. This includes the specific courses in the core areas (English, math, social studies and science). Bring a report card, have your child in your vehicle, or have ParentVue on your screen to quickly identify which packets are needed.
- Middle school parents must know their child’s specific math class and high school parents must know all four of their child’s specific classes; bringing a report card would help.
