Dear Sentinel Families,
Fall Comprehensive Student Reviews took place last Thursday and Friday. If you were unable to schedule an appointment last week, please be assured that these two days simply mark the beginning of Fall CSR meetings. Your student’s advisor(s) will be conducting CSR's this Thursday after school and you can contact them via email as well to arrange a mutually convenient date and time in the upcoming weeks. I wish all of our Sentinel staff, students and parents a meaningful CSR season!
I’d like to highlight these upcoming events:
As we move through this beautiful fall season, I hope you all find time to enjoy the changing colors and the many activities this time of year brings. Wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween filled with community spirit and lasting memories.
In partnership with you,
Matthew Stewart
Sentinel Boys basketball tryouts will take place Wednesday, November 12th from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at CSAMS. Sentinel Girls Basketball tryouts will take place Wednesday, November 19th from 5:45pm - 7:45pm at CSAMS.
Students are required to have a completed athletic physical form in order to participate in try-outs. This is mandated by state and federal law. Download the physical form here. Valid physical forms for the 2025 – 2026 school year that have been completed and signed by approved medical personnel must be dated April 15, 2025 or later in order to be accepted.
These are pay to participate teams and those who make the team must register with SEP after the roster is announced. Students do not need to register with SEP and pay until AFTER the first try-out/practice and they have made the team.
There will be a meeting for boys interested in joining the Swim/Dive team AND their parents on Tuesday, November 11th at 7:00pm at Pinckney High School in the Athletic Classroom. You will enter through the south side main entrance. Both Pinckney swim and dive coaches will be present to give information on the upcoming season. Please plan to attend this meeting if you will be participating.
As a reminder, if you do plan to participate in this sport, you must have a current sports physical on file (completed after April 15, 2025). November 11th will be a great time to meet the swim and dive coaching staff. We are looking forward to a great co-op swim partnership with Pinckney Community High School!

Our CSA District Libraries are run by our devoted parent volunteers and it's a volunteer opportunity that is wonderful for interacting with our students. We are in need of several volunteers so that all of our library class times are covered. Training is provided.

CSPA High School students are required to perform 50 hours of community service/volunteerism as a graduation requirement. Community service credit will be given for voluntary activities that help others or are beneficial to the community. Students earn credit for hours spent participating in the actual activity, not for meeting and planning time. Students are responsible for getting a Community Service Sponsor Sheet signed and dated for each activity.

Preparation is embedded in the Charyl Stockwell Preparatory Academy name. That preparation is grounded in the belief that people who are capable, caring, and self- directed learners will be successful in life no matter what they choose to do after they leave High School. Learning is a lifelong pursuit and we are committed to providing students with the skills they need for work and life.
We have created a permanent link to post-secondary resources that will appear at the bottom of this and all CSPA newsletters. Additionally, we have included a link for active scholarship opportunities. Visit these resources often to find helpful links and opportunities for all students, regardless of their post-CSPA plans.
