Dear Families,
It is hard to believe it is already October! Teachers and students are getting into a routine and digging into the curriculum. We are also continuing to work on our school wide behavior expectations. The overarching guidelines for school behavior are 1. Respect yourself 2. Respect others and 3. Respect property. You can see our behavior matrix here and hanging throughout the building. Please take a moment to review these expectations with your child/ren.
This week I have received a few questions regarding whether or not students should accompany their parents to the Transformative Teaching sessions beginning on October 10. I checked with the program facilitators and they said this is not a program for students, only for adults. That said, we will have childcare available for any younger Amigos students. Please take a moment if you have yet to do so to read about the program and RSVP here if you can attend.
National School Lunch Week is October 15th – 19th! This is the first year Cambridge Public Schools will be participating, and we would love to show students there is ‘Lots 2 Luv’ about school meals! 30 million students enjoy healthy lunches every school day in the U.S. We will have lucky tray giveaways, cultural meals, and special guest servers that week. Show your love on Friday, October 19th with a heart-colored or –themed shirt, and earn a fun sticker! See you in the lunch line!
Sincerely,
Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Principal

Estimadas Familias,
¡Es difícil de creer que ya es octubre! Los maestros y los estudiantes están entrando en una rutina y indagando en el currículo. También continuamos trabajando en nuestras expectativas de comportamiento para toda la escuela. Las pautas generales para el comportamiento escolar son 1. Respétate a ti mismo 2. Respeta a los demás y 3. Respeta la propiedad. Puedes ver nuestra matriz de comportamiento aquí y colgado alrededor del edificio. Por favor tomen un momento para revisar estas expectativas con sus hij@s.
Esta semana he recibido algunas preguntas sobre si l@s estudiantes deben o no acompañar a sus padres/madres/ engargad@s a las sesiones de Enseñanza Transformativa que comienzan el 10 de octubre. Verifiqué con los facilitadores del programa y dijeron que éste no es un programa para estudiantes, solo para adultos. Dicho esto, tendremos cuidado de niñ@s disponible para cualquier estudiante más joven de Amigos. Tómese un momento, si aún no lo ha hecho, para leer sobre el programa y confirmen su asistencia aquí si pueden asistir a las 5 sesiones.
¡La Semana Nacional del Almuerzo Escolar es del 15 al 19 de octubre! ¡Éste es el primer año que participarán las Escuelas Públicas de Cambridge, y nos encantaría mostrarles a l@s estudiantes que hay "Mucho que Agradecer" sobre las comidas escolares! Treinta millones de estudiantes disfrutan de almuerzos saludables todos los días en los EEUU. Tendremos regalos en bandeja, comidas culturales e invitados especiales para servir esa semana. Muestre su agradecimiento el viernes, 19 de octubre con una camisa de color rojo o de corazón, ¡y gane una pegatina divertida! ¡Nos vemos en la fila del almuerzo!
Atentamente,
Sarah Bartels-Marrero
