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.

Any student who wishes to receive high school credit for any dual credit AACC class they have taken must present an official transcript from AACC to their counselor. The Registrar’s Office at AACC can assist you with obtaining an official transcript. If you have any questions, please contact your counselor.

Hi Juniors & Seniors! It’s no secret that most college applications require you to submit your SAT or ACT score, making taking the exam an absolute must. In addition to it being a requirement, colleges and universities receive thousands of applications every year. The scores on the SAT and ACT allow them to narrow down the playing field and make decisions on acceptance. In addition to your college applications, your SAT and ACT scores can be used to apply for scholarships. These are sometimes merit based scholarships, granted directly from your choice of college during the application process. Others may be from local, state, or regional programs where your grades, academic achievements, and score affect your eligibility. We wanted to stress the importance of taking the SAT and/or ACT more than once. Studies show that students typically receive a higher score the second time they sit for the test. It would be most beneficial to take the SAT and/or ACT your junior year, then again your senior year. If you receive free or reduced lunch, you qualify for a fee waiver. The counselors have them available in their offices. Please see attachment for 2022-23 testing dates. You may register for the SAT on collegeboard.org. See your counselor with any additional questions.

Summer break is nearly here – and as you know, it is a great time to explore what piques your interest! If you have an interest in art, science, and technology, we are excited to invite you to register for our Architecture Career Discovery Program. This two-week class, taught entirely online, is designed to expose students to the experience of enrolling in a high-quality undergraduate architecture program. High school students entering 10th, 11th, and 12th grade in the fall, who are interested in future careers in architecture or design-related fields and have a curiosity about the world, are encouraged to apply. Monday, July 11 – Friday, July 22 (9 a.m. – 4 p.m. EDT) Course outline: The core of this course is studio work. In studio, students are immersed in a rigorous creative process that starts with an idea, the development of abstract models, and ultimately leads to the design of an exciting and innovative architectural building proposal. Critique and evaluation of studio work is continuous, occurring in one-on-one discussions with the instructor and in larger group reviews with invited architectural critics. Studio work is complemented by a series of lectures and presentations, which explore the broader context of architectural practice, contemporary projects and practitioners, as well as more technical concerns such as drawing and model making. At the end of the program, students will have beginning proficiency in the following software: Rhinoceros (3D modeling), Adobe Illustrator (2D drawing), and Adobe Photoshop (image editing). Monday, July 11 – Friday, July 22 (9 a.m. – 4 p.m. EDT) Register Now: https://rpi.regfox.com/summerrensselaer-architecture-career-discover-program-online Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis Program cost: $1200 We look forward to introducing yous to a field that combines art, science and technology!

AACPS ATHLETICS ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY Communication Plan County messaging to high school families. Connect Ed message from AACPS Communications Office to all high school families. Additional reminders by school staff. Local communication and reminders from school staff to their student-athletes and families. Include information about summer school. Summer School lists to Schools in July. The Data Office will run lists of enrolled summer school students against who was ineligible from the 4th MP and provide to schools. School staff may check in with student-athletes on their progress. Student-Athlete and Family Responsibility Be aware of AACPS Athletics academic eligibility requirements. Access and carefully review report cards each marking in PowerSchool Student and Parent portals. Eligibility status is documented on the report card of all high school students each marking period and will also be maintained throughout the year in the student and parent portals. Academic Eligibility Requirements. What does it take to play? Be officially registered and attending the school you are authorized to attend. To be eligible to participate in interscholastic athletics, grades nine through twelve, a student-athlete must maintain a 2.0 Athletics Eligibility Score or greater in the marking period preceding the start of that season as defined below. A student-athlete may earn a maximum of one “E” or “U” grade in courses taken during that eligibility period. Athletics Eligibility Scores, which are different from the GPA documented on report cards, are calculated by summing the value of each letter grade on the weighted scale and dividing by the total number of different classes registered for. A full description of AACPS Academic Eligibility Requirements is available in the AACPS Athletic Handbook at aacps.org/athletics or at your school. What happens if I want to try out, but am not academically eligible? You may still try-out for a team. If you make the team, you may not play in games or wear any part of a team uniform at games before or during a 14-day probationary period during which you will participate in the academic assistance sessions program facilitated by you Athletic Academic Advisor. You must successfully complete the academic assistance sessions program and subsequent grade check to become eligible to stay on a team and play in games. Those who do meet eligibility requirements as of the grade check will be removed from their team for the remainder of that season. Where to go for questions and help Contact your athletic academic advisor, coach, athletic director, counselor, and or athletic administrator.
