Students Requiring WiFi Access -- The district has posted surveys for elementary and MS/HS regarding the need for internet service. We ask that anyone with internet connectivity or availability of using wireless devices as hotspots please do so during this time. We will begin helping students at the secondary gain access and then move on to elementary students’ households that are still in need.

Spring Break In an effort to protect more in-person learning time with students, we will be moving ChurchillCSD's Spring Break to March 30-April 3. While we understand that this may cause some difficulties for families, students, and staff, we believe that this move is the right one for kids! ​Spring break is NO longer April 13-April 19. Please be aware that conditions associated with the school closure may change at any time. More guidance will be provided if the details change. ChurchillCSD encourages parents to assist in the effort to contain the potential spread of COVID-19 by keeping their children at home, by avoiding large private gatherings (more than 10 people), reinforcing proper hygiene techniques and maintaining social distancing. ChurchillCSD will react to all changing conditions associated with the virus or guidance from governmental agencies.
