CTD Families, after school today starts our district Winter Break. All students will return on Tuesday January 6th, 2026. During break, please see our post about student and family resources if you need to use them. We had a great start of the year and look forward to seeing our CTD Stars this new year! Take time to relax, spend time with family, and enjoy your favorite activities. See everyone next year in 2026!
