Message from Manuel J. Fernandez
Each year the scholars meet during the first week of school to create the school’s Social Contract for the year. I am pleased to report that our school’s Social Contract was endorsed by all scholars on September 11th. The Social Contract is a way of helping us meet our goals. The Social Contract is a list of guidelines or rules that we create together and follow throughout the year. Read more >>

Summer Reading Comes Alive and
Builds Community at CSUS
During the first week of school, scholars and staff at Cambridge Street Upper School had the pleasure of meeting in small groups to discuss literature. Each grade level was gifted a summer reading novel that they were expected to read as one of their five summer reading books. CSUS staff members volunteered to read the same text and meet with scholars to discuss themes and elements of the text.
