Updated COVID-19 Quarantine Protocols
 We hope that you received the district email with updates to Cambridge Schools protocols.
Key point: if your student has tested positive, the quarantine period is now 5 days. That means that a student can return to school on the sixth day as long as they have NOT had symptoms for the previous 24 hours
Reminder: Data shows us that schools are not the prime transmission point for COVID infections. We continue to follow all our COVID safety protocols that have served us well–windows and fans remain open, everyone is masked, hands are washed or sanitized before eating, and we do weekly pool testing of students and staff. Thank you for continuing to do your part in keeping your students home if they are not feeling well.
Semester ends January 28!
The first semester will be ending on Friday, January 28th. We have asked all teachers to let students and families know if they are missing any major projects. You can also encourage your student to check Aspen and see if there is missing work. Report cards will be viewable on Aspen on Friday, February 4. and will also be sent out by mail. Listening Conferences will happen with advisors February 7-18. Stay tuned for more information!
Equity Update
 Beginning this month, every school in the district will launch a School-Based Equity Team. This equity team will be conducting an equity self-assessment that will focus on policies, programs, and practices that directly or indirectly impact students, families, or staff relative to their race, ethnicity, gender, national origin, color, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or other socio-culturally significant factors.
At RAUC, our School Council is serving as our equity team. We meet the first Tuesday of every month 8-9am. In addition to Principal Julie Craven and Family Liaison Julia Ho, we have a group of four caregivers, four staff, three community members and, starting this month, four students. For notes from our most recent meeting, please click here. If you would like more information about the team and are interested in joining, please contact Julia Ho.
