As we shared in August, CPCSC students in grades 3-8 are participating in the pilot of Indiana’s new ILEARN Checkpoints this school year. During the week of November 18, your student will bring home their individual student report detailing their performance. More information about the reports and ILEARN Checkpoints is available on our website.

Do you have leftover Halloween candy? Send it to school next Monday & Tuesday! Candy will be donated to NWI No Child Hungry to add to their weekly Buddy Bags!
