Grant Requests
Our Grants will be reviewed at our November and March Meetings. If you wish to fill out a request, please use the form provided here and email it to the CPO Board. Students and Staff can apply for grants. A representative must be in attendance at the meeting for the grant to be considered.
Grant Guidelines
Staff, Coaches, and students may request funds for extracurricular or educational program needs that are not paid in full by the school. In order to request a grant, a representative from the program must fill out this form and put it in the CPO mail box or email to Jen Vest one week before the Grant meetings which are held the second Tuesday of November and March. A representative must attend the meeting to present the request and answer questions that evening. The CPO will not consider requests for items already purchased, transportation costs for teams, or items that only benefit an individual student. Grant requests must be under $1,500.
Membership
As a parent or guardian of a Charter student, you are automatically a member of the CPO and we are thrilled to have you involved. Did you know that parents have a significant effect on their children's education? It's true. Good education isn't just about teachers and schools - what parents do really counts! Research indicates that children who have families actively involved in their school will get higher grades, are more likely to graduate and go on to college, and will earn more money once they begin their career. Download and complete a 2020-2021 Volunteer Form.These can be turned into either office at the school.
