As you know, CSPES is a uniform school. All uniform tops, jackets, sweaters, and PE gear MUST be purchased from Flynn O Hara (www.flynnohara.com). You can purchase online or in store. For the upcoming year, students in kindergarten through 5th grade will wear the elementary polos and colors. Students in 6th grade can wear either elementary uniform items or CSP Middle/High Items. Bottoms can be purchased from anywhere. Shoes MUST follow the guidelines outlined below. For more information, please visit our website or contact Ms. Camacho at tcamacho@mycsp.org.

We will be releasing more guidance for those who are already asking. Here is a quick rundown of the shoe expectations for next year. Shoes must be predominantly black, and the only accent color should be white. If you have trouble finding shoes that fit this guideline, please let me know, and I will send you options in your child's size.

We would love to have you volunteer. Please visit aacps.org/page/2179 to complete the volunteer video regarding sexual harassment and complete the corresponding form. Also, a background check is required. That link can be found on the above web page. Please forward the completed form to Ms. Canapp at TCanapp@aacps.org.
