Message from Mr. Adams
Dear CSUS Parents and Caregivers,

It has been a while since I last spoke with you all, but I am happy to inform you that I am back at the Cambridge Street Upper School and I am prepared to assist our Scholars and Families in any way I can.

I am extremely appreciative of all the thoughts and prayers that were sent my way during my recovery from surgery and I am very excited to be back and present within the CSUS community.

If you have any concerns please feel free to contact me via phone at 617.349.3050 x330 or via email. Thank you and have a wonderful week!

Mr. Adams

We Want to Hear from You!
CPS is pleased to launch our 2019 Family Survey. The purpose of this survey is to learn about the experiences of families in our schools and district. It is important to us that all families feel welcomed, and that all students receive the best possible education. 

As a district committed to equity, we use survey results to understand whether students and families from all backgrounds are having positive experiences in our schools. Your answers will be completely anonymous and can not be connected to you. Take the survey now >>

April is School Library Month
School Library Month is AASL's celebration of school librarians and their programs. The 2019 theme is Everyone Belongs @ Your School Library and the 2019 spokesperson is Dav Pilkey.
