Wondering what to do with costumes now that the big day is over? The Colts in Action PTO group will take them! They are hoping to build "closet of costumes" so that when Halloween 2024 rolls around, every little ghoul and goblin will have lots of options to choose from! Items can be dropped off at the main office. All sizes of gently used and new costumes accepted. They hope to have them available at the Fall Open House!

Athletic Registration is now open for Winter Sports hosted here at Colton-Pierrepont. You can find our Athletic Registration site here: https://cpcs-ar.rschooltoday.com/ If your student athlete plays a merger sport at another school they will have to register separately with that host school.

Just a reminder for families of students who take the 3:20 bus home at the end of extra-curricular activities, the drop off times vary daily based on ridership. We have only two buses running for ALL after school activities. The drop-off window can fluctuate anywhere from 20 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on the number of students riding that particular day. We have a variety of clubs that meet on different days and attendance varies. If your schedule requires predictable times, parent pick-up at 3:20 would be your best option. We apologize for any inconvenience, we are limited by our resources.
