Dear Sentinel Families,
It’s hard to believe that May starts next week! We urge all our students to continue to leverage the strategies that have served them well this year and finish the school year on a high note! I constantly encourage students to do their best the first time, to communicate effectively with staff and classmates, and to participate as much as possible. Classrooms in which students actively participate fall into “a rising tide lifts all ships” territory.
Our Comprehensive Student Review (CSR) spring session is here. I know I sound like a broken record, but the CSR innovation of the Stockwell Education model is arguably my favorite part of our District. The CSR process reflects our District’s identity beautifully, its undying focus on relationships.
I always love to reminisce about my final year as a CSPA classroom teacher. I had a remarkable advisory, with 28 students strong. That year, I spent at least 56 hours of professional time engaging with families, sharing and learning how to best support each advisory student. If you haven’t done so already, please sign up for your spring CSR. You will not be disappointed!
Next Wednesday may be my favorite night of every school year. It’s CSPA Senior Honors Night! All our remarkable Seniors will be recognized and honored for the hard work and relentlessness they showed throughout their high school career. If your family includes a CSPA Senior, please don’t miss this transcendent event!
Finally, please come out and show off your Euchre skills at the annual Triple S Boosters Euchre Tournament this Saturday, April 27, starting at 6:00 PM, at the American Legion Devereaux Post 141 in Howell. In addition to the Euchre Tournament, we’ll have a Reverse Raffle going on all evening. We hope to see you there!
In partnership with you,
Matthew Stewart

We would like to welcome Claire McCloskey to our music program. Claire is one of our former students that studied under Mr. Penner. Miss McCloskey has focused on music at Eastern and we are so excited to have her back with us to run our music program in Mr. Penner's absence. Mrs. Bargen and Mrs. Marcum are excited to partner with Miss McCloskey for the rest of this school year!
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. Visit it often to find helpful links for all students, regardless of their post-CSPA plans.
