CCPS... Where Literacy Lives
At Clayton County Public Schools, we believe literacy should live wherever our students are. Through our mantra, CCPS…Where Literacy Lives, we are extending reading, writing, speaking, and listening beyond the classroom and into our community.
Our Books and… series features various stakeholders reading engaging books paired with Community Connection Activities that encourage families to read, talk, create, and learn together. These experiences help foster a love for reading while strengthening vocabulary and oral language skills—because in CCPS, literacy lives everywhere.
