Dear Sentinel families,
We are off to a busy week during this three day instructional week. Today, Juniors took the final assessment (WIN Work Readiness Assessment) of the assessment triad (SAT, M-STEP, WIN). The WIN assessment is new to our students this year.
On Thursday and Friday, we further our partnership with CSPA families as we facilitate Spring Comprehensive Student Reviews (CSRs) with our outstanding high school parents and students. If you have not yet signed up for a Spring CSR for your student, please reach out to your student’s advisory teacher today!
Next Monday (4/27), CSPA will welcome CSAMS Third Year students for a visit to the high school campus. During “Freshman Forum”, Third Years will have the opportunity to learn about every aspect of our Stockwell Education high school program during the morning. Following the student visit, CSPA will hold a Third Year parent meeting on Tuesday, 4/28 at 7PM in the CSPA high bay. I look forward to presenting all of the remarkable things happening at CSPA for both students and parents alike.
Finally, our CSPA Gems Robotics team made it to the Semifinals of the Michigan State Tournament this past weekend. Well done Gems! The team won an award at States and will be moving on to the World Championships from 4/29 - 5/2. Go Gems!!!
In partnership with you,
Matthew Stewart
Prom is one of the capstone social events of a student's senior year and always highly anticipated. Ticket sales start on Monday, April 20th and will be available in Mrs. Petricca's advisory room during lunch and advisory. We are planning a safe, memorable, and fun event for all.
We have established Prom-specific dress guidelines which reflect our high expectations for students as well as our desire for a wholesome event. They, like all of our dress code guidelines, are carefully aligned with our core mission and philosophies. Please review the Prom dress guidelines carefully HERE. It is essential that all Prom attendees know and understand the Prom dress guidelines as they select their evening wear. Also, see the two different options of applications for your guest and non-CSPA student attendees. All guest passes must be filled out and submitted before tickets can be purchased, please plan ahead.

Staff Appreciation Week is just around the corner. Our CSA District Parent Council needs your help to show our staff how much they are appreciated! Our staff work some long hours to be the best they can be for our children.
CSAD PC has some big plans in the works to make sure each one of our CSA District staff members feel loved and valued. Please take a moment to check out their sign up genius for donations and volunteer opportunities or donate below to help them purchase some amazing goodies for the staff!
Are you interested in helping out next school year? We are looking to fill some positions in our parent led organizations. The CSA District has three parent-led organizations: Parent Council, Triple S Boosters, and the CSA Education Foundation. These three groups have been, and continue to be, instrumental in expanding opportunities for our educators and students. Each group dreams BIG for our District, raising the bar each year for what they want to accomplish. They see a need and they respond. But now, more than ever, they have a need for more help and increased membership in their organizations.
Please find below a description of each group and their purpose along with open positions for next school year within each group. Even attending one of their meetings is helpful in bringing in new faces, energy and ideas to support their cause. As the adage goes, “Many hands make light work.” Please consider getting involved.
CSA District Parent Council
CSAD PC enhances the educational programs offered in our District and supports school activities and events. They engage in both FUN-raising and FUND-raising, the former by coordinating community-building activities and the latter by raising funds to supplement school resources. They also work to support the parent body through education and outreach. CSA District Parent Council makes a significant difference in providing the very best education to our students. They are currently looking for a few volunteers to shadow the PC Co-Chairs and Beluga Ball Co-Chairs next year so that they can step into those positions for the 2027/28 school year. If interested in getting involved please email Parent Council.
Triple S Boosters (Stars, Sentries & Sentinels)
Triple S Boosters was formed to support and grow our District’s after school enrichments, extracurricular programs, and activities. The group raises and distributes funds to supplement District resources for our Athletics, STEM and other Intellectual Enrichments, and our Arts programs. These programs are critical in introducing our students to new interests that may later be pursued life-long passions. Triple S Boosters only meet 5 times per year which makes it a manageable way to make a massive difference in the after-school experiences of our students love.
They are currently looking for a Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. If interested please email Triple S Boosters.
The CSA Education Foundation
The CSA Education Foundation was created by our parents to protect our District’s most valuable resource, our teachers! They raise funds to help train and retain our District’s teachers. They also support teachers in continuing their education and those who lead extracurricular activities. CSA District teachers are second to none and this organization focuses on showing them our love and support. If interested in helping the CSA Education Foundation please email Lisa Pick.
CSPA High School students are required to perform 50 hours of community service/volunteerism as a graduation requirement. Community service credit will be given for voluntary activities that help others or are beneficial to the community. Students earn credit for hours spent participating in the actual activity, not for meeting and planning time. Students are responsible for getting a Community Service Sponsor Sheet signed and dated for each activity.

Preparation is embedded in the Charyl Stockwell Preparatory Academy name. That preparation is grounded in the belief that people who are capable, caring, and self- directed learners will be successful in life no matter what they choose to do after they leave High School. Learning is a lifelong pursuit and we are committed to providing students with the skills they need for work and life.
We have created a permanent link to post-secondary resources that will appear at the bottom of this and all CSPA newsletters. Additionally, we have included a link for active scholarship opportunities. Visit these resources often to find helpful links and opportunities for all students, regardless of their post-CSPA plans.
