Executive functioning skills are essential tools that help students manage their time, stay organized, and approach tasks effectively—both in and out of the classroom. At school, we help students build these skills in a variety of ways, such as breaking down projects into manageable steps, posting and discussing daily schedules (and how to adapt to changes), and setting aside time to clean desks or classrooms using visuals to show what "clean" looks like. Timers are also a helpful tool, teaching students to understand and manage how much time they have to complete a task.

Parents can support the development of executive functioning skills at home, too! Encourage your child to plan and organize activities, like dividing homework into smaller tasks or preparing their school materials for the next day. Use timers or alarms to help them stay on track and manage transitions between activities. Teach them to clean and organize their personal spaces by showing them clear examples of what an organized area should look like. You can also help them prioritize tasks by making simple to-do lists together. By practicing these skills at home, you’re helping your child build habits that will set them up for success in school and beyond.

CPCFRO Athletics is an organization that operates as a Non-For-Profit program within District 102. The program's goals are to introduce the basic fundamental skills of volleyball andnbasketball to 5th and 6th graders, get the children excited about playing, and allow for the inclusion of all kids in our district. In addition to the physical skill sets, CPCFRO Athletics promotes good sportsmanship and team building. All the teams within CPCFRO (Congress Park, Cossitt, Forest Road, and Ogden) are coached by parent volunteers and the basketball games are refereed by IHSA referees. While we keep score during the game, we do not keep track of wins/losses - the focus is strictly instructional and for the kids to HAVE FUN!!

Each team will receive a team t-shirt and play 7-9 games (depending on the number of teams and gym availability). The cost to participate is $45/player (fee waivers are available to those who are eligible). The winter season is January-March with 5th and 6th grade girls playing volleyball and 5th and 6th grade boys playing basketball.  During the winter season, 5th and 6th grade levels are NOT combined-there will be separate 5th and 6th grade teams (dependent on the number of registrations).

Coaches are always needed and necessary for the program to continue and succeed, so please consider coaching your child this year!  If available to coach, please email veronicasova@yahoo.com. Our goal is to have the teams finalized by 12/20/24 so we can work on the game schedule over the holidays.  Once a team assignment has been made, you will be notified by your coach.  They will also inform their team of upcoming practice dates/times that will start the week of 1/13/25.  It is our intention to have games begin the week of 1/27/25.  Games will be played at Park Jr. High and Congress Park School.
