Newsletters In an effort to reduce our paper usage, beginning in December, the weekly and monthly newsletters will no longer be sent home. The weekly newsletter will continue to be posted on the CPES web site. The monthly newsletter, the Puma Post, will be posted on the CPES PTA web site. In addition, both newsletters will be posted on FCPS 24-7 (Blackboard) under the Colin Powell Community 2008-9 course. To create your FCPS 24-7 Parent-View account please see the directions. Once you have a Parent-View account you can update your emergency contact information.
