Attendance Matters

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 créditos cuando un estudiante está atrasado. La desventaja es que se necesita más motivación individual de los estudiantes para hacer un trabajo que no necesariamente tiene una fecha de entrega. 

Cuando un estudiante falta a la escuela, se atrasa cada vez más y tiene más cosas que ponerse al día más tarde, o tiene más posibilidades de no terminar la escuela secundaria. 

¡Convierta la asistencia regular en una prioridad!

"¡Asista hoy, logre el mañana!"

Miguel Romero

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 ...

Winter weather alert information

 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...

Remote Days

Hello CPS Community.  We have used up all our snow days this year. If another snow day happens this school year, we will have a remote day.  The state allows us to have 5 remote days per year that won't count against our required 160 school days.  A remote day means that we will not be in the school building, but we will conduct school remotely through Google Meet links.  If a remote day is called, a student will be expected to call or video in to their advisor that day to counted present.  The links for each advisor can be found at the bottom of the page, here: https://sites.google.com/communityprepschool.org/cps-online
