CCI Nutrition Programs:

In-school Nutrition program CCI provides nutritious snacks to students in various locations through the school (e.g. library, office, guidance, some classrooms) where they are freely accessible to all students.  Snacks include crackers, granola bars, fruit, cheese, yogurt, vegetables and dip.  While we do receive some funding through the Eat Well to Excel program, it only covers a small portion of our food expenses. We rely on CCI community's support to allow us to continue our enhanced in-school nutrition program. Helping Hands Backpack program On a weekly basis, CCI supports a number of families in need by providing healthy food including fruits, vegetables, dairy, cereals, canned goods, pasta, etc for consumption at home. This year, this program is solely funded by the generosity of our community. If you are interested in making an online donation, log into your School Cash Online account and click on the “Make a Donation” button to launch the donation portal.  If you don’t have a School Cash Online, you can donate as a guest.   https://simcoecounty.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Index     You will then be able to choose your gift amount, select our school, and an initiative that you would like to support (Eat Well to Excel or Backpack Program). Tax receipts are issued for donations regardless of denomination, upon completion of transaction.  We thank you in advance for your support of our school!

Student accident insurance 2025-26
The SCDSB does not provide accident insurance coverage for student injuries that occur 
on school premises, at board-sponsored events, or during school extracurricular 
activities (e.g., athletics, clubs, etc.). However, accidents can and do happen. Injuries 
can result in substantial expenses that are not covered by the SCDSB or provincial 
health care. If families do not have existing or sufficient extended health or dental 
coverage, a variety of plans and benefits at reasonable annual prices can be found 
through either:

• StudyInsured at www.studyinsuredstudentaccident.com or by calling 1-833-560-
0527; or,
• Insure my Kids at www.insuremykids.com or by calling 1-800-463-5437.
Participation in extracurricular activities (e.g., athletics, clubs, etc.) require the purchase 
of this insurance, or other extended health and dental coverage
