Is there still a "Sports-related forum"? If so, how do you reach it? It seems like a tease to list "Sport Schedules" since there is rarely anything listed.     ~ 3 replies

To Whom This May Concern: The Records at Von Steuben have our daughter Jane's last name spelled incorrectly. The correct spelling of her last name is Heinz Alt. There is a space between the Heinz and the Alt. I think that the correct spelling of a student's name is important. Please correct this error. Thank you. Joe Alt, Jane's Father Thank you for your attewntion regarding this important matter     ~ 2 replies

My name is Sharon Ross and I am the Guardian of Reginice Coleman. Reginice Coleman is my niece whom is residing with me due to her parents' quick & almost unexpected departure to Kuwait. I have tried to enroll Reginice in a neighborhood high school, however I do not feel that she will be challenged. We have been referred to your school from other CPS administrators. Although I know you are completed with enrollment, Reginice & myself find your curriculum and extracurricular activities as challenging and similar to her prior school. Reginice Coleman is transferring from Spring Texas High School in Springs, TX a suburb of Houston. Her GPA is approximately a 3.9 and rank in the 1st quartile of her school. Please help us in helping her in excel educationally and adapt as she goes through a difficult time in her life. Is there a possibility that she can be enrolled for her last two years.     ~ 5 replies
