Fall School Clubs
Please click here to view the choices for the fall session!
How do students sign up?
- Students will be selecting clubs in their advisory classes on Wednesday and Thursday.
- Students can also sign up through the Google form in the slideshow of the choices.
Club schedule
- The fall session will run from Tuesday, Oct 5th to Thursday, Dec 9th. No clubs will happen during Thanksgiving week.
- There will be two time options for clubs this year:
- Lunchtime clubs will consist of 10 sessions for 45 minutes each on a Wednesday or Friday during our hour-long lunch block. No lunchtime clubs during indoor recess.
- After school clubs will consist of 8 sessions for 50 minutes each on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday from 3:05-3:55PM.
Transportation for after-school clubs:
- The late bus will start in the first week of October.
- Students will board the late bus at 4PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- On Wednesdays, they will board at 4:15PM because our CSV Tutoring program ends at 4:15PM on this day.
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!
7th grade families:
- Next week on Thursday, October 7th, 7th graders will be taking a field trip to Wachusett.
- In order for your student to attend, we will need to have a signed permission slip. Today, Advisory teachers will be giving students paper permission slips to take home. Please fill this out and send it back with your student. In case you miss it, you can find the permission slip here.
6th and 8th grade families: Please look out for information about upcoming October field trips in the next couple newsletters!
Seeking parent reps for school council!
The commitment
- Meet once a month (first Tuesday of the month) virtually with other caregiver reps, principal, family liaison, & staff reps
- Share your perspective with a focus on equity
- If you are interested in joining as a representative, please contact Julia Ho.
Interested but would like to learn more first? Please join us for the first meeting on October 5th!
- At our first meeting we will be discussing some ideas and norms for school council this year. We hope to see you there!
- Please look out for a link to the meeting on Monday, October 4th. You can also register in advance (registration is not required) at this website (select 2021-10-05).
Willing to volunteer for small translations?
 To become a more welcoming and inclusive community, we would love to offer various school communications (e.g. about various events etc., recorded messages) in more languages.
- While we are able to get important documents professionally translated and can provide interpretation by request, these services usually require more advanced notice.
- Auto-translation services such as Google Translate usually do not provide the quality of translation that we hope for.
- We’re looking to build a list of people willing to provide short translations. If you’re busy for a particular request, we of course would understand.
- Interested? Please contact Julia Ho.
