School CNXT: Parent-NCP Communication

NCP will be using SchoolCNXT to communicate important information to parents and the school community. All families should have received a text message and/or email communication about signing up. If you did not receive that communication or need access to your student's account, you can gain access by using this tool on Northside's website.

NCP Counseling Updates

Senior Self-Assessment, Parent Survey, and College Conference

The Class of 2021 Self-Assessment and Parent Recommendation Survey plays an integral role in your College Conference and the letter of recommendation your respective school counselor will write. As a result, all rising seniors are required to submit their Self-Assessment prior to scheduling a College Conference or obtaining a letter of recommendation. The Parent Recommendation Survey is recommended but not required. If your student has not completed their self-assessment or scheduled a College conference, please click HERE to complete the assessment as soon as possible and encourage your students to contact their respective school counselor to schedule their conference.

Parents, if you are unable to access your Naviance Account, contact Ms. Fernandez at safernandez@cps.edu. Please note, College Conferences are not required but highly recommended to ensure your student has the necessary resources and support as they prepare to pursue their postsecondary goals. For more information about the college planning process at Northside College Prep, visit the College Planning Hand Book or the Counseling website.

NCP Virtual Postsecondary Representative Visits

The NCP Counseling Department is offering virtual postsecondary visits for Northside Prep students and parents. We are offering virtual postsecondary visits to ensure all families have the opportunity to explore various postsecondary pathways, engage with the postsecondary representatives, and obtain answers to pertinent questions or concerns. Virtual postsecondary visits are offered after school from 3:15-4:00 pm, and during Flex Block 1:00-4:00 pm on Wednesdays. To date, college, military, and GAP Year representatives are scheduled to connect with NCP students virtually, and the list is growing every day. Check your Naviance account today and periodically to register for the upcoming virtual postsecondary visits!

Follow the directions below to access the Naviance Postsecondary Visits:
* Log in to the Student Naviance homepage.
* On the Naviance home page, scroll down to the College Visits section and click on the “Show More” button
* You will see an active "Virtual Visit" hyperlink that will provide you with access to the visit. However, for additional security measures, a Google Meeting invitation will be sent to all registered participants in Naviance at least one day before the scheduled virtual visit.

*Please note, all virtual visits will be conducted via CPS Google Meets and no email addresses outside CPS will be permitted into the virtual postsecondary visits. To protect the privacy and safety of students, parents will only be permitted to access virtual visits if their respective student is present and the student will be required to log in via their CPS Gmail account. All postsecondary visits will be managed and monitored by an NCP staff member.

Family Income Information Form

The purpose of this form is for CPS to determine school funding. CPS and Northside Prep may receive additional funding based on your family’s responses to the questions. Your responses on this form will also determine if your family qualifies for other CPS waiver benefits (i.e., the following fees could potentially be waived: school fees, testing payment, etc).

Answer all of the questions on the form, print and sign it, and return it to the school registrar, Ms. Fernandez, at safernandez@cps.edu, by September 30, 2020. Please note: the form must have an original signature, not an electronic signature, or the form will not be processed.

Free Test Prep Resources

There are a number of free test prep options available for students who would like to prepare for the upcoming SAT Test.
* Naviance offers free PSAT and SAT Prep resources such as Kaplan and Naviance Test Prep. Click here to view the instructional video if you need assistance with accessing the Naviance Test Prep resources.
* Students can log in to their College Board account to access practice tests through Khan Academy.
