Dear Sentinel Families,
We are one week into the 2025-2026 school year! I am optimistic about the year ahead as the District and our families work to successfully partner.
Some important high school-specific dates are coming up quickly:
Feel free to reach out to leadership at any time with any questions, comments or concerns. I encourage families to first reach out to their student’s advisory teacher, if appropriate. We wish all our families the best school year yet and an enjoyable welcoming of Autumn!
In partnership with you,
Matthew Stewart

Our CSA District Libraries are run by our devoted parent volunteers and it's a volunteer opportunity that is wonderful for interacting with our students. We are in need of several volunteers so that all of our library class times are covered. Training is provided.

Welcome Back to all our CSA District Families and a special welcome to our new families! We’re excited to invite you to learn more about Parent Council, our exciting plans for the 2025-2026 school year, and Charyl Stockwell Academy’s largest and most exciting fundraiser – the Beluga Ball Silent and Live Auction!
Join us September 19th right after drop-off at CSAMS for coffee, conversation, and an overview of this year’s Parent Council and Beluga Ball plans. We’ll share all the fun details about how we support our school and how you can help too!
Whether you’ve participated in the past or are new, we’d love to have your support and fresh ideas. We have opportunities for everyone—whether you have a lot of time or just a little to give. Let’s make this year the best one yet!
Come enjoy a cup of coffee and learn how you can help our CSA community thrive!
Date: Friday, September 19
Time: Right after drop-off
Meeting location For CSAMS/CSPA: CSAMS Hub (In front of the Library)
The CSA District Color Fun Run will be Sunday, September 21st at Settlers Park in Hartland. If you’ve never been to a Color Run event, you absolutely should come check it out. Not a runner? That's ok! Come walk the course and get sprinkled in color or just come out for the other entertainment. We will have lots to do for the whole family (DJ spinning tunes, corn hole, sack races, concessions, and more). Stick around after the Color Run and cheer on some of our CSPA students as they hit the field for their annual Powder Puff Game!
This truly is an exciting event for all ages so grab your family, friends and neighbors and come show us your "true colors" as we rally together to support our CSA District!
Treering is doing an early bird special on our CSPA Sentinel Yearbook. If you order the 2025/2026 yearbook by September 30th you'll get 10% off.
The CSPA yearbook is a full color yearbook that captures events and memories from the entire school year. All orders must be completed online. Please click HERE to order. Yearbooks are delivered in June and will be distributed during the last week of school.
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.
