Remote Days Monday and Tuesday

Dear CPS Students, Families, and Guardians,

The holidays can certainly be a mixed bag, can't they? On one hand, there is the joy of spending time with loved ones, special events, decorations, and shared meals. On the other hand, holidays can be stressful with planning, gift shopping, and just an upset to our routines.

Here at CPS, we have certainly had a challenging season. Due to enrollment, we had to lose 1/3 of our staff in October, we were affected by the violence in our Colorado Springs community, personal loss among staff, upsetting events at school, and just a general lack of regard some students display to staff who are devoting their all to them and their education. 

The staff at CPS care deeply about this community and all the students here. But we are worn out. 

For the mental support of staff, we will be having remote days this coming Monday and Tuesday before the break, December 19th, and 20th. Students have been encouraged to take work home to accomplish on Monday and Tuesday. If a student doesn't have a computer at home, paperwork can be done. If they do have a computer and internet at home, a student can work on Reading Plus or any of the classes they are already working on online. Teachers will be available by email. Our emails are available on our website at: https://www.communityprepschool.org/about/our-team

Students should also log on to their emails Monday and Tuesday to participate in a couple surveys that will be sent out. CPS is a great school. It is often the determining factor is a student's success. But we can always improve, and we would like to work on improving our overall school culture. We all need to engage in this conversation: staff, students, and families/guardians.

Thank you for your understanding. We wish you very happy holidays. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at: rsolanki@communityprepschool.org

As a reminder, our winter break is from Wednesday, December 21st through Tuesday, January 3rd. We return to school Wednesday, January 4th. To see our calendar, visit: https://www.communityprepschool.org/calendar

Sincerely,

Raj Solanki

Back to School!

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.

Vape Policy

Hello CPS Community! We want to make you aware of a new policy on vapes at CPS due to problems with vapes being used inside the school. If vapes are seen inside the school building, they will be confiscated and only be given back to a parent or guardian who is at least 21 years old. Please let us know if you have any questions. Here is the specific policy: Vaping is not allowed inside the building. Vaping and smoking must take place at least 25 feet from any entrance. If a vape is seen inside the building, it will be confiscated and only released to a parent or guardian who is at least 21 years of age.

Furthermore, HB20-1001 raised the legal age to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21 [ Link ]. El Paso County has declared tee
