We hope our Tiger families are having a wonderful summer!

For families who would like to get a head start on back-to-school shopping, we've attached our 2026-2027 Academy school supply lists by grade level. 📚✏️🎒
Please note that regular backpacks are perfectly fine for the upcoming school year. To help preserve our campus floors and facilities, we kindly ask that families do not purchase rolling backpacks.
We know summer is still in full swing, but we wanted to provide plenty of time for families to prepare for an amazing school year ahead. We can't wait to welcome our Tigers back soon!
Have a safe and enjoyable summer! 🐯💛

Esperamos que nuestras familias Tigres estén disfrutando de un maravilloso verano!
Para las familias que desean adelantarse con las compras para el regreso a clases, hemos adjuntado las listas de útiles escolares para el ciclo escolar 2026-2027 por grado. 📚✏️🎒
Les recordamos que las mochilas regulares están permitidas para el próximo año escolar. Para ayudar a conservar los pisos y las instalaciones de nuestra escuela, les pedimos amablemente que no compren mochilas con ruedas.
Sabemos que el verano aún está en pleno desarrollo, pero queremos brindarles suficiente tiempo para prepararse para un excelente año escolar. ¡Estamos emocionados de darles la bienvenida nuevamente a nuestros Tigres muy pronto!
¡Que tengan un verano seguro y lleno de diversión! 🐯💛

💙💛 CP Tiger Team & Family,
We know school just ended, but for those of you who like to get a head start on back-to-school shopping, we wanted to share an important uniform reminder for the 2026–2027 school year.

As you begin purchasing uniforms, please pay special attention to our guidance regarding student bottoms, as these expectations will be strictly enforced next year. Monday–Thursday uniform bottoms must be dress pants/slacks-style material only. Jeans (including black jeans), joggers, leggings, and athletic/running shorts are not permitted as part of the regular school uniform.

Thank you for partnering with us in maintaining the high expectations necessary for a strong start to the upcoming school year! 💙💛
