Hi CSP Parents, Please see below regarding details on Chesapeake Science Point's NO REPEAT policy. If you have questions and/or concerns regarding this matter, please reach out to your child's school counselor. CSP continues to provide a rigorous and quality education to all students. It has always been our goal to improve upon past practices, find new ways to engage students and make learning something students enjoy. We also believe that high school students need to put forth that same effort in order to become successful adults; therefore, CSP is Repeat Free. If a student receives an E in a required high school course, the class will have to be repeated in an alternate program such as summer school, evening school and twilight school. These programs are available for students to make up credits in courses that they were not successful in the first time; classes at CSP are for students taking them for original credit. If a student does not make up the failed class in one of these alternative programs, there is a chance that we will not be able to schedule the student for the classes required for graduation and the student will have to take classes at CSP for more than four years.

Parents/Guardians: I have been contacting some of you with a reminder that your child is due for 1-2 additional immunizations before entering the 7th grade. Remember that doctors go on vacation and/or busy with Sports Physicals during the summertime, so getting an appointment may not be so easy. Even though students are not physically attending school in the building, they still need these immunizations to move into the 7th grade. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
