CPC Update
1-12-2024
Notes from Emily
I know it was a super busy week with lots of phone calls and walk-ins. Thank you all for hitting the ground running and being so attentive to everyone's needs!
Be sure that you have signed up for CPC Group Me and have notifications turned on. I will use this to quickly update the team regarding campus closures and other important updates. Additionally, as we play Thursday Trivia throughout the rest of the month, other questions will come through on Group Me, not email, so you'll want to be a member in order to play along for a chance to win! Congratulations to yesterday's winners: Morgan, Jenny and Troy!
Who knows if this winter weather will blow in, but if it does, I hope you all stay warm and safe! See you next week!

Application Update
Currently, the Adult Application is still accepting applications for those interested in starting this February or March (unless it is one of our programs that is closed due to a long waitlist). Around Spring Break, the application will go offline as we transition to the 24-25 application for our adults. Anyone wanting to apply for next school year should be advised to check back in early April. For adult programs with a June start, if the program is still accepting applications, then applicants are still able to apply now for that June start.
Prodigy Updates
- New search bars are available on the Prodigy Home Screen - Course Search and People Search.
- The bulk cancellation feature is now available for HS and Adult applications. (This feature is only available for certain users, in order to prevent apps from disappearing by mistake!)
- The HS application tab now has Recommended Program 1 and 2 filters.
- Student email addresses and emergency contacts are now on the Summer Quest PDF rosters.
District Updates
For employees that completed the eligibility requirements and are to receive a Wellness Stipend, please note that the check date for the stipend will be on Friday, January 12, 2024.
For those planning to participate in the 2024 Wellness Program, please hold on to your records. An email will be sent out later this semester when the site is open for 2024.
Did you know our Marketing Department advertises in Snapchat? They do! They are finalizing the annual Snapchat paid ad campaign to encourage students to apply. They are looking at January 16-February 16 as the campaign window. Last year, we were just shy of 3500 clicks to the admission page from this ad!
Do you need to talk with someone?
Don't forget we are fortunate here at Francis Tuttle to have access to a Licensed Professional Counselor. You are able to meet in private, here in Campus Center, during the workday for about 50 minutes with Elizabeth Baxter. If you are in need, please email her to set up an appointment (elizabeth.baxter@francistuttle.edu). She's able to help if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or any stressors in life.
