Message from Manuel J. Fernandez
Dear parents and caregivers,
It has been a while since I wrote you about the happenings at CSUS. I returned from medical leave on March 19th on a part-time basis. I will return to full duty on May 1st.
Believe it or not, Spring is here! Our annual spring activities include athletic competitions, art and music exhibitions, portfolio presentations, science exhibits, the CSUS marching band in the Memorial Day parade, MCAS testing, and the grade 8 trip to New York City to name a few. We have included in this Take Home Tuesday newsletter a list of our spring events. We look forward to seeing you at as many of these events as possible. More specific details on each event will follow soon. Read more >>

Summer Workshops at CSUS
All 6th, 7th and 8th graders participated in a Summer Workshop assembly - a session devoted to hearing about all their options, hearing from each other, and thinking individually about their goals and plans for the summer. Workshops are facilitated by summer program providers in the community, so students hear from 8-10 different summer programs that are options for them that summer. Ask your child about what they heard! View the summer parent planning packet >>
At CSUS the point people to talk to about summer plans and applications are:
Dan Georgette, Health Teacher
Edson Soares, Student Support
Samantha Fontanez, MSN Liaison
The Middle School Network also provides resources to families and young people to help with summer plans. Please check out the following resources to see what was shared with students:
