California Department of
Education regardless of income.

may be kept at home for one to
two weeks, then returned and

Family Support Services
CDC is part of a community
consortium, which is funded by
L.A. County Department of
Children and Family Services
that allows us to refer our
families for a variety of services
at free or low cost. These
services include personal
counseling, programs with parks
and recreation and theater
activities.
Opportunities For Parents
Parents participate with the
school in a variety of ways
from helping out in the
classrooms, fund raising
activities, to assisting with
special events. In addition
there are two parent groups
which meet monthly.
Parent Advisory Committee
The Parent Advisory Committee
(PAC) is a group of parents that
wish to take an active role in
guiding CDC whether it be through
planning events, positively
adjusting school policy, or giving
parent perspectives. We are
always welcoming new parents to
participate, and meetings will be
announced on the website's
school calendar in advance.
