Incoming 9th grade Chromebook and charger exchange
Current 8th grade students will keep their Chromebook & charger when they leave middle school. They will exchange their current Chromebook and charger at CPHS for the Chromebook they will use throughout their high school career. There are three drive-through options using the Bus lot at Crown Point High School (please select one to attend):
- Tuesday, August 5, 2025, 9 am - 2 p.m.
- Wednesday, August 6, 2025, 11 am - 2 pm
- Wednesday, August 6, 2025, 4 pm - 6 pm
From the Nurse
All 9th graders should have physical examination by a physician (see attached yellow card).
New incoming 9th graders should have a physical on file in the nurse’s clinic. The attached YELLOW CARD is the physical card that should be handed into the NURSE’S CLINIC at the beginning of the school year.
IF your child is participating in an athletic program during the next school year at Crown Point High School, a doctor must complete an INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (IHSAA) form AFTER April 1st. So that you do not have to make two doctor appointments, please plan your appointment AFTER April 1st and have both the YELLOW CARD and the ISHAA form completed by the doctor at the same time.
THE ISHAA PHYSICAL FORM
The ISHAA physical form needs TO BE UPLOADED BY THE STUDENT OR PARENT TO FINAL FORMS. Attached is a copy of the instructions on how to make a Final Forms Account. Please always keep a copy of the student’s physical for your own records.
Medication
All student medications need to be picked up from the clinic by 10 am on Tuesday, June 3rd, by the student’s parent or guardian. At this time, a new form will be given to have the doctor fill out for next year. New orders for medications are needed every year. All medications left in the clinic after June 3rd will be destroyed. We cannot store any medication over the summer. If you have any problems or concerns, please reach out to the nurse via phone or email. 219-663-1507 ext. 12081 / tbowman@cps.k12.in.us / sbrown@cps.k12.in.us

Attendance
As your student prepares for the 2024-2025 school year, please remind them of the importance of attendance. The Indiana Department of Education now requires that all school corporations include student attendance records on their official transcripts. We believe regular attendance is vital to developing a healthy home to school connection and academic success.
