From the Principal’s desk…

Hello CSP parents,
I encourage you to read our CSP Newsletter since important information for parents is published each week. Community events available to homeschooling families are also noted. We hope this improved newsletter format enables you to stay informed quickly and easily. You are our #1 priority.
**The new pdf format of the CSP Newsletter opens best in Chrome or Firefox – not Windows Edge.
See important CSP Enrollment info in the newsletter. Be ready to accept your seat when you get your offer from the Registrar. Gr. 6-7 parents/students are invited to attend the CSP-CP Info Night on Thurs. Jan. 18, 6:30 – 8:00 to help you discern which JH program is best for your student. CSP Gr. 8 parents/students will learn more about CP.
With the start of a new semester, I encourage parents to check the 2017-18 CSP Calendar for important dates as changes were made to our calendar this year. Thank you!
DENIM WEEK FOR ALL STUDENTS- JAN 16-19.
Warmly,
Susan Nosal

MONTHLY CHARACTER - JANUARY FOCUS
Forgiveness & Humility, Courage & Kindness. Teachers will note which character strengths were discussed each week so you may continue those conversations at home. CSP classes will also implement Peer Mentoring, i.e. pairing older and younger classes to engage in character discussions and activities together. Mentoring across grade levels is a part of the Board initiative for enriching TCA’s Character Education program.
