Employability Survey
We thank you for being valued partners as we work together to educate our students.
While many people often think of student success in relation to grades or test scores, it is also important to consider the social and emotional growth of our students. Starting May 9th , we will ask students in grades 6-12 for their feedback via a 20-30 minute online survey completed at school during their resource period. The survey will ask students to reflect on their self-efficacy, emotional regulation, social awareness, and supportive relationships. The results from the survey support our ability to address individual and school-identified needs.
Last year, we administered the survey as part of our Ready To Learn student services work. The data was used to implement positive behavior interventions, and improve school culture and climate. We look forward to using new data from this school year to build more services for students.
If you have any questions about the survey or do not want your child to participate, please contact your our main office before May 6th . Students who opt out of the survey will still be able to participate in programs or services created as a result of the data.
Physicals for Current 8th Graders
All incoming freshmen must have a general physical before the 2022-2023 school year begins. Below is the General Physical Form. Students participating in Summer PE must have their physical completed and ready to turn in on the first day of Summer PE, Monday, June 13. Students who plan on participating in sports at CPHS will need to complete a different physical, which can be accessed through https://crownpoint-in.finalforms.com/. Potential athletes must register with “Final Forms,” where the physical form can be downloaded as well. Potential athletes who turn in this form do not need to complete the general physical form.
