Mark your calendars for Families of RAUC Social Event/Fundraiser
Please join your fellow RAUC parents and caregivers for a fun evening of food, drinks and a silent auction on Saturday, Nov. 3rd from 6-10PM. on the MIT Campus. This is the Families of RAUC's major fundraiser of the year to support enrichment and field trips for all RAUC students. Our biggest goal is to raise enough funds to provide financial assistance so that all our 8th grade students can participate in the class trip to Washington DC. Your attendance will help us meet this important goal! Please purchase your tickets here.
CommUNITY Hiking Trips: Get Permission Slips In
8th grade to Monadnock this Friday: In this RAUC tradition, everyone aims to get as high up the mountain as they can, and everyone supports each other. Students will return around 4pm; the school has arranged for late buses. Weather looks dry but chilly so dress warmly and be sure to pack a lunch if your student hasn’t arranged for a school bag lunch!
6th grade to Blue Hills Monday 10/15: They will be traveling by bus to Blue Hills in Milton for a community-building hike. We will have lunch as a sixth grade and will return before the end of the school day. Bring lunch and water and weather appropriate clothes. You don't need anything else. Cost is FREE. Should be a fun time!
8th Grade: Reminder to Register for the DC Trip
This is a RAUC 8th grade tradition and we are committed to ensuring every student who wants to is able to attend. Information has been emailed and handed out to students. Expect letters with pricing explanations and payment schedule soon. Reach out to Mr. Oliveira with any questions.
Mental Health Awareness Night
We invite parents, guardians, youth workers, teens who work with youth, and anyone else who has love and investment for our youth to please join us at RAUC on Friday Night, 10/26, at 7PM for a Mental Health Awareness Night. There will be free food.
Currently we have two amazing guest speakers: Alice Cohen, CPSD Social and Emotional Learning Lead Teacher, will be talking about attachment and self regulation in adolescence. Building competency and independence while maintaining family relationships. She will talk about making meaning of behavior, keeping relational lines open, dealing with our own worries while parenting, and what to do if sudden concerning changes occur. David G. Stewart, PhD., ABPP, Chief of Psychology Department of Psychiatry from Cambridge Health Alliance and Harvard Medical School will present on adolescent substance as well as emotional and behavioral problems in adolescents.
TECH Goes Home
This amazing program is coming to CPSD! This is a fantastic opportunity for families in grades JK-5. The program requires you to attend 15 hours of training over several weeks, learning how to navigate exciting computer applications that can help you and your child make most of technology in your home and your child’s academic life. This program is free for you and your child. Upon successful completion of the  15 hour course you will be eligible for a brand new Chromebook for $50,
among other other benefits. The program will be offered at Peabody Elementary School. For RAUC families with a child in Peabody, you can also let Taraneh Ahmadi know if you’d like to sign up. We are currently exploring offering this program for Middle School families. Please let us know if this is something you’d like to participate in with your middle schooler. More Info here.
