CPHS would like to invite the parents of our junior students to attend a presentation on Wednesday, April 23rd, from 5:00-6:00pm, in our auditorium. Topics covered will be related to the senior year. The presentation will provide information that will help families with the transition to students’ post-secondary endeavors.

Students are welcome to attend with their parents.

The CPHS Prom will be held on Saturday, April 26th at The Halls of St. George. You can find all of your prom information here: PROM 2025 INFORMATION. Please email Ms. Carrie Quinn at cquinn@cps.k12.in.us if you have any questions.

Advanced Placement exams will begin on Monday May 5th. Regular exam administration runs from May 5th until May 16th. For any student who misses their exam, there will be make-up exams during the week of May 19th. Please note that missing an Advanced Placement exam can result in additional fees. It is recommended that all students make every effort to take their AP exam on their assigned test day. Please review the following link for a full calendar of all AP exams as well as our final exam schedule: AP Testing Calendar 2025

If you have any questions about AP exam administration, please reach out to Vince Bauters (vbauters@cps.k12.in.us).

Students must have a valid parking permit displayed in their vehicle to park on campus during the school day. Also, vehicles parked illegally/not in a valid parking spot could be subject to a ticket from CP PD. Overflow parking is available at St. Matthias church, just west of CPHS.

Student drivers may pick up parking passes in the CPHS Attendance Office before or after school. In order to receive a parking pass, students must bring their driver’s license, car registration, proof of insurance, and parking permit application. There is no charge for the pass. All students who drive to school should have the pass displayed while in the school lot.

Second semester grades are now syncing from Buzz to PowerSchool and are visible to students and guardians.

If you would like to turn off grade notifications in your PowerSchool app, you can click More, Account, and Notifications to find this option.

Naviance is a college and career exploration resource available to all CPHS students. Each student is assigned an account in which they have single sign-on access. A student can access their Naviance account by going to www.student.naviance.com/crownphs. Parents do not have an account, but are able to use their student's account to navigate all of the resources in Naviance.

Naviance is a tool for students interested in applying to colleges that fit the specific criteria they are looking for. It is also a resource for students who are unsure of their post-secondary path. It allows students to take personality assessments as well as strength/interest inventories to help align them with post-secondary options. Each military branch has an area in Naviance that allows students to research opportunities with our armed services.

Naviance is a good tool for parents and students to explore and generate conversations about post-secondary options. If you have questions about Naviance, you can contact your student's counselor for more information

• Student handbooks are available on our website.
• Please note changes to two important policies: cell phones and attendance. These changes are in alignment with new state legislation.

At CPHS, all cell phones and earbuds must be secured (out of sight) and silenced during all classes. Please talk to your students about the importance of attention and participation during classes.

As your student prepares for the 2024-25 school year, please remind them of the importance of attendance. The Indiana Department of Education now requires that all school corporations include student attendance records on their official transcript. Good attendance is also vital to academic success and growth.

Transcripts - Required Components

IC 20-33-2-13 requires that school corporations include the following information in the official

transcript of a high school student:

1. Attendance records

2. The student’s latest statewide assessment program results

3. Any secondary or postsecondary certificates of achievement earned by the student

4. Dual credit courses from the Core Transfer Library taken by the student

School safety is always on our minds and is our top priority. Thank you for partnering with CPHS to keep our students safe. If you have information or concerns about student safety, please contact us via phone/email or make a report using the link below.

Safe schools anonymous tip line - If you see or hear something, say something.

Safety Reminders for Students

Students should report to a teacher, counselor, administrator, police officer, or any adult in the building if there is a safety concern. It is always better to overreport and be on the safe side.

During school hours (7:00 a.m. to 2:37 p.m.) hats and hoods are not allowed to be worn in our building. This is so that all students can be identified. This is also a part of the CPHS dress code.

Student drivers must remain cautious in the parking lot and near the school. Please remind students to drive slowly and follow the directions of our police officers. All student drivers must have a parking pass displayed in their vehicle while in the CPHS lot.

Student dismissal is at 2:37 pm. Students who do not have supervised after-school activities should leave the building by 3 pm. Students who are waiting for rides should wait in the lobby of the school near the front entrance.
