Josh Stevens Elementary School

About Josh Stevens Elementary

Josh Stevens is a neighborhood CCSD elementary school serving grades K–5. The school site also links to CCSD’s Pre-K interest process, but families should confirm whether a Pre-K classroom is operating on campus this year.

The school focuses on core elementary subjects. Specials such as physical education, art, music and library or media are common CCSD elementary patterns, but the current schedule should be confirmed.

The school site has featured APPLE CORE out-of-school reading, Accelerated Reader, Exact Path, After-School All-Stars and SafeKey links. Availability can change. The campus also highlights an “All Stars” identity and the namesake’s legacy of kindness.

How families get in

Admission is based on the student’s home address. Families should verify the exact address in CCSD’s zoning lookup before enrolling or making a housing decision.

• Use the CCSD zoning lookup to confirm that the address is assigned to Josh Stevens Elementary.
• Register through the standard CCSD enrollment process for the zoned school.
• Out-of-zone access, if offered, follows current School Choice rules and depends on campus capacity.
• Pre-K is not assigned through kindergarten registration. Families complete the CCSD Pre-K interest process, and the Early Childhood Department manages placement.

Zoning, capacity and program offerings can change. Transportation and out-of-zone placement are not guaranteed.
