March 7: No Students-Staff planning

March 10-14: No Students-Spring Break

March 17: No Students-Staff Development

March 18: Students return for Trimester 3. Regular start time @ 7:40 a.m.

Just a few reminders/facts about students attending STEP (Secondary Technical Education Program at Anoka Technical College).

AM STEP:

-students do not need to report to CP in the morning.

-students can drive directly to STEP or can shuttle from CPHS (the shuttle leaves at 7:25am from the W1 door by the greenhouse)

-students return to CP in time for their 3rd period class (and advisement) either via shuttle or driving themselves.

-students who shuttle back to CP will get dropped off at E3 and enter the main doors. (On CT Mondays, students come back with about 30 min to spare and are asked to wait in the cafeteria)

PM STEP:

-students do not get dismissed from period 3 early--they remain in class the entire hour.

-students are assigned A lunch (but not required to stay for lunch if they are driving to STEP)

-students can drive to STEP

-students can shuttle to STEP from CPHS (the shuttle leaves at 11:45am every day outside of E3/E4 doors)

-on most days students have almost an entire lunch period to sit and eat before the shuttle arrives. On advisement days (9 min) and on CT Mondays (18 min) PM STEP students need to make a quick grab and go lunch out of the cafe or bring a lunch

-students have access to food, snacks and items to purchase to eat at STEP if they would like

When it comes to places where individual students can buy or sell items, schools are not on that list. Students are not allowed to buy and sell items on school property, including inside school, on the bus and in the parking lot.

Why it matters: Distractions to the learning environment and concerns for student safety arise when items are promised and not delivered or payments are not made for goods received. This takes time, resources and attention away from academics and the core functions of school.

Go deeper: Maintaining safe and welcoming schools is a high priority for the Anoka-Hennepin School District. Schools have experienced a wide-range of items being sold in schools including food, airpods and electronic devices, shoes, guitars and many other items.

For example: We have recently seen an increase in the number of students selling and buying baked goods on our campus. This creates health/safety concerns for students.

Focus on learning: Eliminating these sales transactions on school property keeps a focus on learning and helps students achieve success in school. Students who sell or buy items on school property are subject to consequences consistent with district policy.

All Juniors will be automatically registered to take the ACT at Champlin Park High School on April 22nd.

During advisory on April 14th, students will receive information regarding their ACT accounts. Students will be able to check their scores from this account. They will also be able to send their scores to prospective colleges. Students who do not have an advisory or are absent can pick up their ACT account information in the IB Office/House 2 after April 14th or by emailing Ashley.Brown@ahschools.us after April 14th.

Students will arrive at school on April 22nd and be in their designated area by 7:40 am. Students may leave school once the test is completed.

Grade 11 students who are eligible for transportation home will remain at school in a supervised area until 2:20 pm if they do not have a ride once the test is completed.

Lunch will be provided to Grade 11 students who remain at school following the test.

We are also offering some review sessions for students during Late Start Mondays starting Feb 24th, see schedule below. Students do NOT need to sign up for these, they can just show up and be in the designated location by 7:30.

Happy end of the trimester! Some IB students have already received testing information, others will receive info upon return from Spring Break. Students need to return a signed permission slip for IB testing as they will be missing class on those days. Any students testing off site for IB exams will need to ride the bus to and from the testing location this year. Please email Ashley Brown (ashley.brown@ahschools.us) with any questions about IB information (including dates/times/locations). The most up to date calendar can be found here.

As we near the end of the trimester we wish all our IB students good luck on their finals and good luck finishing up their Internal Assessments!

Happy end of the trimester! Some AP students have already received testing information, others will receive info upon return from Spring Break. Students need to return a signed permission slip for AP testing as they will be missing class on those days.

For Tri 3, students will need to return or renew overdue library books before checking out additional materials. This both encourages the return of books that have been missing for a long time and helps us by having fewer books circulating when all books are due in May. If books are truly lost, please email allison.hackenmiller@ahschools.us to have those books added as fines in ParentVue, which would allow your student to continue to check out books. We have an outstanding collection of books here at CP, and we want all students to have access to them. Help us do so by reminding students to be responsible with their library books.

Parents may register their student for the Spring After School Driver's Ed Program at this time via Parent Vue.

For log in assistance you call the Help Desk at (763) 506-4357.

Cost: $70.00

Dates: Mondays and Wednesdays, March 24th - May 12th. Only one date may be missed with a make up date of 5/14/2025.

Behind the Wheel registration will also be due $280 before the class concludes for the session.
