CSP Newsletter

The Yearbook team is so excited to kick off the production of a student-led and organized yearbook this year, and we need your help.
If your senior student has not already done so, please submit a baby photo of your child to the yearbook club ASAP (csayers@mycsp.org or badams@mycsp.org). Any photo from below the age of 5 are perfect!

You can purchase your yearbook now using this link https://www.treering.com/purchase?PassCode=101758911905299

This year, the yearbook is entirely student-run, as a club instead of a class! We are excited to make the best yearbook yet, with a new
design interface and big ideas. Stay tuned for more information regarding Senior Shout-outs, and purchase your yearbook today!

Thank you,

The Yearbook Club

Parents,

Please continue to follow the traffic pattern by NOT forming two lines in the afternoon, once past the first business on the right.

Attention eighth grade parents/guardians:

Chesapeake Science Point and Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) have a partnership for the Early College Access Program (ECAP), allowing students to take college courses while in high school. CSP also has a unique partnership where selected students work toward a college Associate Degree throughout high school, earning 60 college credits through AACC classes and AP credits.

Candidates for this very selective program are considered during the spring of students’ eighth grade year at CSP. Administrators, counselors, and teachers review student data and discuss individual student ability to complete college level and AP courses.

AACC requires a strict limit of 22 students for this program, making it extremely selective. The selection procedures will begin in February and student/parent contact will take place once the review process is completed in the spring.

Students and families do not need to request consideration for this program, all eighth-grade students will be reviewed and considered for the Associate Degree program.

Students who are not chosen for the selective Associate Degree program are still eligible to take individual AACC courses through the ECAP program. These opportunities are usually possible in students’ junior and senior years.

Please take a moment to read over the attached information regarding detention.

Our Science Fair is underway and the students have some great projects that they are working on! As your students are working on their projects, here are a few things to keep in mind. The due date for the projects is on December 5th. Students who are hoping to go to the County Science EXPO must present at our school's Science Fair. The Science Fair is a voluntary event however some teachers are offering extra credit incentives for those that do attend. The Science Fair is going to be held at CSP MS/HS Gymnasium on December 13th. We are going to try to do something different this year, all projects will be displayed in the gym and we are allowing students to practice their presentations prior to judging. When judging does start, we ask that all parents clear the floor to give the students the ability to present without distractions. The other difference this year will be that the awards will be handed out during school hours instead of happening the day of the event. If you have any questions or concerns about the Science Fair, please reach out to your student's Science teacher.

Parents who are active military or who live or work on Federal Property in Maryland are

asked to complete this year’s Federal Impact Aid Survey. It opened on September 30, 2025.

You will be asked to verify your home address and identify if it is located on federal

property. You will also complete sections identifying if a family member is in the military

or works on federally owned property in Maryland. The survey should only take a couple

of minutes to complete and be assured, all data collected is kept completely confidential.

Why Complete This Survey

Anne Arundel County Public Schools, like many local school districts across the United

States, include within our boundaries parcels of land that are owned by the Federal

Government or that have been removed from the local tax rolls by the Federal Government.

Federal property is exempt from local property taxes. By submitting an application to the

Department of Education each January, AACPS receives approximately $2 million to assist

in educating all our students.
