INCREASE THE HOME-SCHOOL CONNECTION!

CPS is better than any private school or home school. You always feel welcome and the teachers, staff, and principals are very approachable.

I am very pleased with the performance from the teachers, staff, and principals. Everyone is very helpful when it comes to my child. CPS does a very good job keeping me updated on the different activities that’s happening at the school.

This is the best school my child has attended. The reasons are this school pushes her in ways that she can succeed and make it in life. I thank the teachers and staff for never giving up on my little angel.

I am proud to say my son attends CPS because of the score rate. CPS proceeds their reputation when it comes to getting their students prepared for the next level or grade!

Things change…

GET USED TO IT!

Change can be uncomfortable…

GET OVER IT!

Implementing effective initiatives and classroom strategies can change your school…

EMBRACE IT!

If change is distasteful to you…
