CPHS REQUESTS FOR SCHEDULE ERROR CORRECTION POLICY
Registration process takes place for a week in January of each year, students choose their courses and alternates at this time. After this window closes students cannot make changes to their request for the following year unless approved by the counselor. Students can review their course request in their student vue (under Documents) in the spring as a reminder of what they signed up for. Students' final full schedule will be available to view in student vue sometime in August. Students and families are encouraged to view students' full schedule at this time and follow the below information regarding changes. Please review each trimester carefully.
Additional Schedule Error Correction Guidelines:
Study Hall, Teacher Assistant (TA) and Office Worker requests must be made the year prior during registration, requests can be made on the above forms but are not guaranteed.
Some classes meet for 2 trimesters or all year long. Students are expected to finish the entire course. Students should consult with their School Counselor with any questions.
Requests to change lunch time will not be considered.
After the first 5 days of a trimester when schedule error correction forms are no longer available, students who want to adjust a class will need to meet with the Administrator in charge. The only exception being medical reasons with provider’s note verification.
Schedule changes to accommodate teacher requests cannot be granted unless it is based on a repeated failed course and space is available with another teacher.
Changes made beyond the criteria noted above will be made after consultation with the CPHS Administration.

MCA
What is the MCA?
MCA stands for Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment. This is a statewide, annual test that measures achievement on the Minnesota Academic Standards in reading, mathematics, and science. These sets of assessments are required to be administered as part of federal and state legislation. These tests are also used to help determine intervention needs and resources for students.
This year testing will be given in the classroom setting as much as possible:
MCA Reading (grade 10)-in their English 10 part B class:
Tri 2 on March 3rd and 4th
Tri 3 on March 26th and 27th
MCA Math (grade 11)-in their World History/AP Euro part B class
Tri 2 on March 3rd and 4th
Tri 3 on March 26th and 27th
MCA Science (grade 11)-in their Bio part B class
Tri 2 on March 4th and 5th
Tri 3 on May 1st and 2nd
Additional testing dates for make-up tests and students not in one of these classes at CPHS will be announced later and students will be notified through email if they are testing at a different time or location from what is listed above. This will most likely happen in Tri 3 of the year.
