The HCS choice application is now available!

Please note: CCA admission decisions are based upon auditions, rather than a lottery. However, we use the same general application as the lottery-based magnet schools. 

• To learn more about the unique offerings at CCA, check out our virtual tour.

•  We also invite you to attend a virtual information session next week! Sign up to zoom with us here. 

To apply to CCA:

1. Submit your CCA enrollment application here using your existing Parent Portal login credentials, or create an account if you are new to the district. If you would like to apply to CCA for more than one child, you must complete separate applications for each student.
2. After your application is received, we will email you to make arrangements for your child's audition. 
3. Once all auditions have been completed, enrollment decisions will be made and families will be notified by February 15, 2021.

The deadline to apply for all Hamilton County choice schools is January 31, 2021.

****************************
Families, HCS has announced instructional phases for middle and high school learners.

Grades 9-12 will operate on the Phase 2 A/B Hybrid Learning Schedule November 30 - December 17.

Grades K-8 (CCA middle schoolers) will continue under the Phase 3 model through December 4. (In-person middle school learners will continue coming to school five days a week.) Then, beginning December 7, they will join high school students in the Phase 2 A/B Hybrid Learning model.

Typically, HCS makes decisions about instructional phases based upon evolving conditions, and each phase announcement will apply for a two-week period, with possible temporary closures of individual schools  as needed.

COHORT Information for the 2020-2021 Academic Year
When Hamilton County is operating in Phase 2, in-person learners will come to school two days a week, and learn remotely the other three days. (Remote learners, as always, will log in to classes each day from home, regardless of the phase.)

Cohorts for Phase 2 - CCA students have been divided alphabetically by the student's last name. Last names A - L are in Group A (attending in person on Monday & Tuesday during Phase 2) and last names M - Z are in Group B (attending in person on Thursday & Friday during Phase 2).  During Phase 2, all students (regardless of cohort) will log into classes and learn virtually on Wednesdays. This system will help us reduce in-person class sizes anytime we are in Phase 2.

Parents with a special request for cohorts should contact the school directly at 423-498-7365.

Online Payment Change for School Meals

Hamilton County Schools is changing our online payment process to a new vendor.  The link to the old vendor MyPaymentPlus will no longer accept payments beginning next Friday, November 27.  Parents will need to send cash or check in the transition time between the Thanksgiving and Winter breaks (11/30-12/17).

The new system will go online during the Winter Break, and those funds will be available for use when school resumes on January 6, 2021. Meals are free through the end of the school year, so this is only for a la carte/extras and adult meals.

The new link is: https://family.titank12.com/ - Titan School Solutions. Again, this system is not yet useable until sometime during Winter Break.
