Advisory

Advisory teams are made up of a small group of students and a teacher. They are a place where students make plans: for school, for college, for their careers and for their futures. This is a safe time to talk about barriers and needs; to be serious, but to have fun, too. Advisories help students build academic and social skills by breaking down barriers, fostering relationships, strengthening listening skills and, most important, building trust.

Content Standards

At CPS, we aim to ensure all of our students graduate from high school ready for the career paths of their choice.

These tests measure students’ achievement to determine strengths and weaknesses, so teachers can adjust instruction to meet students’ needs.
