Reminder to Sign Up for Spring Learning Partners Conferences!
Teachers aim to meet with each family to see how the second semester is going and make sure we are all working in partnership so your student is on track to end the year strong. Please sign up here. Slots for core academic teachers are 20 minutes--in that time, you will rotate through a 5 minute meeting with each individual teacher. You can also sign up for a 10 minute meeting with Specials teachers. Bring your student to the conference so everyone hears the same message!

7th Graders to Visit Harvard
Friday, March 2
This field trip is designed to increase student awareness of college opportunities. Students will have a tour of Harvard, see a science demonstration, eat in the freshmen dining hall, and hear a presentation on the college admissions process, which includes a chance to hear from a diverse group of undergraduates on what college means to them. There will be time for student questions. All 7th graders in the city participate in the trip on different dates as part of a collaboration between Cambridge Public Schools and Harvard. Please return permission slips asap!
Cook Up Some Delicious Soup for Our Teachers!
We need volunteers to donate their soup or their time for a lunchtime soup sale and fundraiser on Friday, March 9th (11:30AM to 1:30PM). For $5/bowl, our teachers will be treated to a delicious bowl of hot soup. Please sign up to donate soup or help with the sale.
