Family Partnership Update:
RAUC Families of Color
-- Last week, we had a small but warm gathering, and decided that we would meet again in the 2nd week of December.
-- Families of students of color: Please stay tuned for a Doodle poll to find the best time that works for the most people.
Tech Corner
Last week your student learned how to use ClassLink, the "Launch Pad" for all the apps they use at school. It's the quickest way to get to Aspen, the school library catalog, and ALEKS (an app they use for math practice), among others. Students can always find ClassLink by clicking the "Home" button in Chrome on their Chromebook, or by bookmarking this link if they aren't on a school Chromebook.
If your Chromebook is broken in any way, take it to the Mobile Help Desk! The Help Desk is open Mon.-Fri. 8AM-4PM, and Sat. 8AM-2PM. They're located at CRLS, Felton St side. Go to the garage door closest to Cambridge St. (Carpentry Shop). If those times don't work, email the Help Desk.
Have a question or suggestion for a future Tech Corner? Email Sam Musher, Library Tech Teacher.
Social/Emotional Well-Being
Tip of the Week
 Listening to your student with your full attention will help them practice active listening. Even if you don’t agree with what they are saying, respecting their opinion will help create an opportunity to demonstrate a meaningful interaction with good communication!
If you have any questions or concerns about how your student is doing, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Guidance Counselor Shanika Boadu (email; 617.329.1002).
