Last Day for Students

If your student consumes school lunch, please check their account balance. We currently have a deficit totaling $4700.00. CSP is responsible for the outstanding balance if the accounts are not brought current.

Paying this balance requires that we shift funds from the instructional program, which will have a negative impact on the school as a whole.

• We currently have 160 seats filled out of 250 seats available. Please do not wait until the last minute to submit a completed contract.

• The transportation registration window opened on March 1, 2023

• Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis

• Current routes and stops are not guaranteed for the next school year.

• The sooner a paid contract is completed, the sooner the bus company can begin determining routes.

• The updated Transportation Contract was made available on 2/21/23 on the school’s website. MYCSP.ORG

• Please DO NOT contact the bus company.

Hi CSP Parents, Please see below regarding details on Chesapeake Science Point's NO REPEAT policy. If you have questions and/or concerns regarding this matter, please reach out to your child's school counselor. CSP continues to provide a rigorous and quality education to all students. It has always been our goal to improve upon past practices, find new ways to engage students, and make learning something students enjoy. We also believe that high school students need to put forth that same effort in order to become successful adults; therefore, CSP is Repeat Free. If a student receives an E in a required high school course, the class will have to be repeated in an alternate program such as Summer School, Evening School, and Twilight School. These programs are available for students to make up credits in courses that they were not successful in the first time; classes at CSP are for students taking them for original credit. If a student does not make up the failed class in one of these alternative programs, there is a chance that we will not be able to schedule the student for the classes required for graduation and the student will have to take classes at CSP for more than four years.

Parents/guardians of current 6th graders:

This is a friendly reminder that 7th-grade students are required to have the following immunizations before starting the 7th grade:

MCV4 and Tdap

I will need an updated immunization record showing that your child received both immunizations. Please send this to me as soon as you have it.

Thank you,

Ms. Calvert

Any student who wishes to receive high school credit for any dual credit AACC class they have taken must present an official transcript from AACC to their counselor. The Registrar’s Office at AACC can assist you with obtaining an official transcript. If you have any questions, please contact your counselor.

Hi Juniors & Seniors! It’s no secret that most college applications require you to submit your SAT or ACT score, making taking the exam an absolute must. In addition to it being a requirement, colleges and universities receive thousands of applications every year. The scores on the SAT and ACT allow them to narrow down the playing field and make decisions on acceptance. In addition to your college applications, your SAT and ACT scores can be used to apply for scholarships. These are sometimes merit based scholarships, granted directly from your choice of college during the application process. Others may be from local, state, or regional programs where your grades, academic achievements, and score affect your eligibility. We wanted to stress the importance of taking the SAT and/or ACT more than once. Studies show that students typically receive a higher score the second time they sit for the test. It would be most beneficial to take the SAT and/or ACT your junior year, then again your senior year. If you receive free or reduced lunch, you qualify for a fee waiver. The counselors have them available in their offices. See your counselor with any additional questions.
