Message from Manuel J. Fernandez & Christen Sohn
Good evening CSUS Parents and Caregivers,
We hope you are doing well, and that you and your scholars had an enjoyable weekend. Please see the important information below.
Upcoming Progress Reports
A reminder that Progress Reports will be published to Aspen on Nov 30; we will share detailed instructions about how to view Progress Reports by then. At the end of the quarter, Specialist teachers with quarterly classes will submit final grades; all other teachers will post comments. Beginning 11/30 Specials assignments for Quarter 2 are:
- Grade 6 - Art
- Grade 7 - Theatre
- Grade 8 - Health
- Grades 6-8 with Ms. Rosso, Ms. Grant, Ms. Ives, and Ms. Flanagan - Music
November Listening Conferences
Please be advised that November Listening Conferences will happen the week of November 30. The purpose of these listening conferences will be to review any questions, concerns, or other thoughts you have regarding your child’s first quarter Progress Report, and to check in on how your scholar and family are managing during remote teaching and learning.
Finally, do not forget to review this week’s Flexible Work Time assignment grid to see what your scholar will be working on this week!
Stay safe and well, and have a great weekend.
Peace,
Manuel and Christen

 CSUS Winter Time Support Drive
Good Evening CSUS Parents and Caregivers, for many families this year has been challenging and difficult, and as we move into the next few months those challenges can become even more of a burden than they currently are. To support scholars and families within our school community that may be in need this winter, the CSUS PCO will be holding a winter time support drive this month.
If you are able and willing to donate to the cause we will be accepting donations via the PCO Website.
