CSP Newsletter

• Beginning Wednesday, December 7, CSP will inventory all student Chromebooks. Please ensure your child brings their fully charged issued device to school with them daily.
• Students who never received a Chromebook will receive their Chromebook by Friday, December 9
• Effectively immediately, CSP will no longer issue loaner devices for those students who leave their Chromebooks at home. It is the responsibility of the student to bring the required materials to school daily. Not doing so can hurt their academics.
• CSP can no longer afford to issue loaner devices due to the excessive number of damaged and/or lost devices.
• If your child loses or damages their device, restitution must be paid before receiving a replacement device.

• CSP is discussing with the bus company the possibility of adding a sixth bus to our transportation schedule next school year.
• We will need at least 290 students utilizing bus transportation to secure the sixth bus.
• A sixth bus will allow us to service more areas and provide more seat availability.
• Due to increased fuel costs, which CSP has paid for the past year and a half, transportation costs will increase by $50 per student next school year.

• Review the ROAR schedule with your student. Have them sign up for Content Support on the available days rather than going to their club.
• Check PowerSchool every Tuesday evening. Make it a family event.
• Email teachers whenever you have a question about an assignment.
• Monitor your child's BrightSpace page.
• Review your child's assignments before they submit them to their teacher.
• Contact the School Counselor if you want to schedule an appointment with your child's teacher(s).
• Ms. Siwicki is the School Counselor for students whose last name begins with A-L. Her email address is jsiwicki@mycsp.org.
• Ms. Shepherd is the School Counselor for the students whose last name begins with M-Z. Her email address is mshepherd@mycsp.org.

Please join me on Wednesday, January 25, from 9:00 - 11:00 am for our second Donuts with the Principal event. I would love to get to know parents and stakeholders. The discussion topic will be transportation, the master schedule, the Maryland Blueprint, and parental engagement. I will also hear your concerns, ideas, feedback, and general thoughts on how to better CSP. This is on a first-come, first-served basis for the first 50 parents that RSVP.

We kindly ask that you respond by Friday, January 20, if you are interested in attending. The event is for parents only and is open to the first 50 to respond. The link to respond is HERE.
