See You at Back to School Night!
We hope to see all of you on Thursday, September 27 from 6-8PM for our first gathering as an extended learning community!

Goals for the evening:

• Build relationships and sense of community
• Strengthen school-family partnership by hearing from each family:
  • What you need from the school
  • Your hopes and dreams for their students.
• Make sure families leave the evening with a concrete way to support their student’s learning.

Schedule for the night:
6 - 6:30PM: Pasta and salad in the cafeteria
Connect with grade level families and staff; community partners will be there with information as well.
Specials teachers will have tables with handouts and information

6:30 - 6:50PM: Whole community meeting in cafeteria.

6:50 - 7PM: Transitions to classrooms upstairs
Students may join their families in the classrooms or stay in the gym.

Cambridge Weekend Backpack Program
Many thanks to those who emailed us about wanting to enroll in RAUC’s Weekend Backpack Program! If any of you feels that the children in your family would benefit from receiving additional food to meet their nutritional needs over the weekend, we encourage you to sign them up! Just email Taraneh Ahmadi and let her know. Enrollment is ongoing, however, the sooner your form is returned the sooner we can start sending food home. This information will be kept confidential between you and the staff at the Rindge Avenue Upper School. Questions or concerns?
