Changes to the CPS High School Application Process

6/11/2017

Beginning this week, 7th grade families will receive the first critical piece of high school application material when we deliver Activation Codes (previously called PINs) to schools. These Activation Codes will be used to create your GoCPS high school application accounts and access your student’s high school program eligibility information in August 2017. This will give you as much as a two month early start on the application process!

Activation Codes will be delivered to school counselors between June 8 and June 14, and they will be distributed to students to bring home. Delivery date ranges for Activation Code letters are estimated based on the schedule of the CPS Warehouse and actual delivery dates will vary by school. Please save this Activation Code in an easy-to-find location until August.

In the meantime, make sure to visit go.cps.edu and subscribe to the site today!
By subscribing, you will receive notices and reminders when key functions of the application process are opened to the public, including a notice in August 2017 to use your Activation Code to create your GoCPS account.
