December 2, 2024 Dear CPS Community, Miguel "Smalls" Romero It is with a heavy heart that I write to share the tragic news of the loss of one of our students, Miguel Romero. Miguel passed away on Friday, under circumstances that are deeply affecting our entire school community. The police are pursuing this as a homicide case. During this difficult time, our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Miguel’s family and loved ones. He is an important part of our school family, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him. Miguel was always kind, supportive, and respectful to anyone he encountered. He has been a bright light at our school. To support our students and staff as they process this loss, counseling services are available at school. Our school counselor, Anais, will be on hand to provide care and guidance to anyone who needs it. If you feel your child would benefit from additional support, please encourage them to speak with Anais, another staff member they ...

 Hello CPS Community, That "snow day" time of year is here, so I wanted to make sure you are aware of our winter weather policy. Generally, we follow D11's call for school closures (d11.org/Weather). However, we reserve the right to make different calls as well. When a school closure for weather is called, we will send out a message as soon as possible in the morning through this message service as well as post it on our website, facebook, and instagram pages (communityprepschool.org, facebook.com/communityprepschool, instagram.com/commprep). As a reminder, we are a charter school, which means that we have a relationship with District 11, but are not a regular district school. For instance, we also have a different calendar than the district (communityprepschool.org/calendar). Therefore, please make sure if you receive information from the district regarding days off whether because of weather or calendar, you confirm with Community Prep School communication. With that sa...

Why does attendance matter? We often hear from graduates that they wish they would have worked consistently when they were younger so they wouldn't have had to play catch up later and graduate late. The upside of out system at CPS is that it is possible to catch up on credits when a student is behind. The downside is that students need more individual motivation to do work that doesn't necessarily have a due date.  When a student misses school, he or she gets more and more behind, and has more catching up to do later, and has more of a chance of not finishing high school at all.  Please make it a priority to have regular attendance, and let us know what we can do to help you! ¿Por qué es importante la asistencia? Escuchamos una y otra vez de los graduados que desearían haber trabajado de manera constante cuando eran más jóvenes para no haber tenido que ponerse al día más tarde y graduarse tarde. La ventaja de nuestro sistema en CPS es que es posible ponerse al día con los créd...

Hello CPS Community!  School is back in session! We are now in our 2nd week of school.  As a reminder, Colorado requires students to attend 160 days in the year. Since we have a 4-day school week, we must cut our summer short in order to meet that 160 day requirement.  Due to technical issues, we were not able to send out this reminder message until now. We apologize for the delay. We look forward to having the best year yet! "The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today." -H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
