P.O. Box 110656 Naples, FL 34108 info@neafamily.com
Welcome to the 2021 Fall Activities Guide! Welcome to the 2021-22 school year! We are thrilled to have everyone back on our campuses. While face masks are optional this year, rest assured that additional health precautions have been put in place to keep our students and staff safe. I know many of you are looking forward to the return of a more normal sports season, as well as extracurricular activities. One exciting new venture this year— we will be offering theater education at all of our middle and high schools! CCPS will also be debuting its inaugural Alumni Association, allowing us to reconnect with former #CCPSFamily members. For events and programs outside of the district, you will want to turn to the CCPS Activities Guide. The CCPS Activities Guide is a one-stop shop for out-of-school activities for students and families in the community. You will find information on sports, music, tutoring, art classes, counseling, and so much more. Developed in partnership with Neapolitan Family Publishing, the guide is distributed to students across the district three times each school year — fall, spring, and summer. Our goal is to be all-inclusive and give as many businesses and organizations as possible the opportunity to participate, free of charge. As you begin your family planning, we sincerely hope you find this information useful. I also want to take a moment to thank you for your support and cooperation during the past year. I am extremely proud of all that we have accomplished, together. Kamela Patton, Ph.D. Superintendent
