Message from Manuel J. Fernandez
Parents, Caregivers and TEAM CSUS,

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to share the following, hopefully, thoughtful reflections.

Twenty years after my first principalship, I am thankful to have learned so much from the voices of young people and have it inform my practice every day!

I am proud of the innovation and passion that so many TEAM CSUS members exemplify every day in their instructional routines with our scholars and in their engagement with our families! Read more >>

Time to Learn

Quality Learning and Professional Time
Studies conducted last year, and meetings with diverse stakeholders since, have raised concerns about the amount and quality of learning and professional time in Cambridge Public Schools. CPS is in the midst of a study and design process examining a range of options for improving learning and professional time, with an initial focus on elementary and Upper School schedules. 

View the latest updates on this process on the CPS website, and save the dates for the following Public Forums: 

December 5 | 6PM | Morse School
January 10 | 6PM | Kennedy-Longfellow School
January 12 | 10AM | Graham & Parks School

The Superintendent will develop a proposal that will be shared for stakeholder feedback in January. In addition to the public forums, school-based meetings are being scheduled for all schools. Any changes in school schedules will benefit from a full planning year in 2019-20 before implementation in 2020-2021.
