CPS Weekly Parent Update
Week of July 26, 2021
CPS 2021-22 School Year Plans are Moving Along
CPS Parents & Guardians,
Not too much new information here, just a correction within athletics that both CROSS COUNTRY and GOLF are open to ALL students at CPS. Originally, the bulletin incorrectly said 'boys only'.
The district administration spent two days with Tanji Reed Marshall last week to review and revise our district's vision, mission, and core values. Those statements will be shared publicly soon for feedback and comments.
Building the CPS Schedule is moving along. We hope to have a draft for staff to review later this week, followed by sharing with parents and students mid-August.

Schoology Support
Schoology is a learning platform that CPS teachers are using for daily 'playlists' and class activities. We are also using Schoology for recording grades for assignments. If any parent is having trouble logging into Schoology, please email Michael Horton for support:
We can reset a password/username or add a parent to a student account. Once in, the program is relatively simple to navigate to your student's courses.
Note: Although we are starting to utilize Schoology to share student grades during the term, it is not replacing Aspen. Report cards, schedules, and other components must still exist in Aspen for state reporting. Aspen is a student information database.
As a learning platform, Schoology is more of a replacement for Google Classroom.
CPS Term 3 Report Cards Posted in Aspen Friday, July 2
After logging into the Aspen parent portal, report cards will be under the 'Pages' home tab and then under the 'Published Reports' box in the lower right corner of the screen.
Report cards were also mailed home.
If parents have trouble logging into Aspen, please either click the forgot my password link on the log-in page. An email will be sent to the parent's private email that was provided when your student was registered for school.
Or, contact the NPS Tech Department:
Or, contact Kristen Holdgate in the CPS front office: 508-228-7283 x1408
