October Learning Previews
Please visit the links below for more information from your student’s teachers about what your students will be learning this month:
Click here for a printable version. In these learning previews, you can also find some conversation starters and questions you can ask your students about what they’re learning.
Student CPS Laptops
 All students will be receiving CPS laptops to take home with them. In order to receive the laptop, students will need a signed Upper School Device Agreement by Friday, October 15. Families can fill this out online at the CPS family portal. You or your student can also pick up a hard copy from the main office. Any student without a signed form will have access to a computer at school but will NOT be allowed to take the laptop home. Need help with getting internet access or finding more affordable options? Please contact Julia Ho.
Please see the video for a tutorial of how to fill out the form online.
 Reminders to help students comfortable and COVID safe
- Please support your student in bringing a water bottle every day. If they are losing them, maybe come up with a creative way to attach it to their backpack.
- Please also remind students that they should continue to always dress in layers, ready to be warm. We are keeping windows open in rooms and will eat and have recess outdoors in all but extreme weather.
- They have been fabulous about keeping their masks up, fyi.
- Thank you!
Field Trips
We are excited that this year, we are able to take students on field trips (that are within walking distance or that require a bus ride of 1 hour or less)! There are already several trips planned for all three grades! Please fill out the permission slips and have your student return to their advisor. These include information on what the trips are.
In case you missed it: Fall School Clubs
Please click here to view the choices for the fall session!
- Note: The fall session will run from Wednesday, Oct 6th to Thursday, Dec 9th. No clubs will happen during Thanksgiving week.
Transportation for after-school clubs:
- Students who are attending after school clubs and are eligible for a bus ( live <1.5 miles from RAUC) can sign up in the main office to ride the Late Bus Tuesday-Thursday.
- On this sign up, they just need to list their name and bus stop.
- You can find the list of bus stops here.
- On Tuesdays and Thursdays, students board at 4PM; Wednesdays, 4:15PM

Looking for high-quality, breathable, well-fitting masks?
 CPS parents are organizing a bulk order of masks that have been tested and shown to be highly protective. These masks are ~$0.80 each and can safely be reused for a full week (40 hours).
You can order or request free masks by Wed, Oct 6 here (también en español). Sizes range from XS (toddler) to L (large adult). You can also make a direct donation to the project.
Any questions, please email us.
