Dear Sentinel families,
Today kicked off our College Board testing. We appreciate your involvement in getting your student to school on time. Our Juniors will have two more days of testing over the next week. One of the most effective ways to support these students is to ensure they get plenty of rest the night before each test, and a nutritious breakfast the morning of so your student stays energized and alert throughout the day.
I'd like to congratulate our CSPA Gems robotics team for winning the Troy event during the weekend prior to spring break. The Gems have won both events they have competed in and are currently ranked in the top six in the state of Michigan. Go Gems! The state championship is this weekend...we wish them the best of luck!
Please look out for some Facebook posts from our second CSPA International trip. Close to 70 travelers visited Ireland, Wales, Scotland, London and Paris. It has been wonderful hearing all of the amazing stories from our students that had the opportunity to travel abroad. We are already in the early stages of planning our next international trip!
In partnership with you,
Matthew Stewart

Our CSA Elementary School Parent Council is hosting a Mother/Son Dance and a Daddy/Daughter Dance this weekend and could use our help. Many of the usual CSA elementary volunteers would like to attend the dance with their student but that means they need volunteers to help the dances run smoothly. Does your high school student still need volunteer hours? Would your student be able to volunteer this Friday and or Saturday for a few hours? The dances run 6pm - 8pm and are held in the CSA Elementary gym. If this is something that your student could help with (volunteer hours will be given) please have them email CSA Parent Council for additional information.



Do you have riding experience, own a horse or would just like to learn more about them? Our CSA Middle School and High School has an equestrian team and are always looking for new students to join. If interested in obtaining more information on horseback riding for our Middle School or High School please contact Coach Mary at (248) 880-7783.
CSAMS students start practices the first week of April (Equestrian meet will take place in June).
CSPA Students start practices the first week of May (Equestrian meets are in September).
PLEASE NOTE, IF YOU DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO A HORSE, NO WORRIES! Coach Mary can make arrangements to accommodate.

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 and donate below to help them purchase some amazing goodies for the staff!


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.
