PSAT/SAT/MSTEP/WorkKeys assessments are still ongoing this month. Please refer to the updated CSPA Upcoming Calendar of Events below, and any email reminders that you’ll receive to ensure that your student is prepared for the assessment opportunity, meaning has had an appropriate amount of sleep, a healthy breakfast, and a positive outlook.
The month will wrap up with our Comprehensive Student Reviews. You should have received an email from your students advisory teacher with a signup link. These assessments are an opportunity for students to show what they’ve learned and how they’ve grown. Your encouragement plays a vital role in helping them feel confident and prepared for the next steps of their educational journey.
In partnership with you,
Matthew Stewart
From May 12th to May 16th, teams of students will battle it out to see who can raise the most money for our district! Inspired by competition shows, Sentinel Survivor brings together a diverse mix of students, each working toward a common goal. Each team will be led by a senior and include a junior, sophomore, freshman, CSAMS third-year student and a CSA Explorer to represent our entire district.
Every dollar raised will go toward building a brand-new weight room facility for CSPA High School, benefiting current and future CSPA student-athletes. Our goal is to raise a minimum of $25,000. We invite you to support your favorite team and help us reach our goal! For further information on sponsorship and how to support specific teams, click here or click here for specific Sponsorship levels and benefits.
All sponsors will be recognized through social media, team t-shirts, promotional banners, and in the new weight room facility.

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.
