CCPS…Where Literacy Lives
Clayton County Public Schools (CCPS) is excited to announce the launch of CCPS…Where Literacy Lives, a districtwide theme to promote literacy as a foundational skill and a way of life that extends beyond the classroom and into the homes and communities of Clayton County.
Each segment within the series is paired with a Community Connection Activity, designed to extend learning beyond the screen and into the home. These activities encourage families to read, engage in meaningful conversations, and apply literacy skills together, supporting the development of oral language, vocabulary, and comprehension in authentic and interactive ways.
To learn more about this initiative, see the attached release.
