Good afternoon CSUS Parents and Caregivers,
Exciting things are happening at Cambridge Street! The past week we’ve been hard at work hosting scholar-led community meetings, planning collaborative field trips, choosing thoughtful summer reading, coordinating what is going to be an EPIC showcase of scholar artists and performers, and honoring scholars' identities in a myriad of other ways both big and small. THANK YOU to our tremendous educators for their tremendous work and THANK YOU to the caregivers who contributed to this afternoon’s Staff Appreciation Luncheon.

COVID Updates
Our school community had 16 positive COVID cases identified either through outside testing or school-based pool testing over last week from 5/4-5/11. Families at the impacted grade level will receive a separate communication from CSUS. See here for the Superintendent’s most recent communication regarding masking.
If you are interested in receiving weekly at-home rapid tests for your scholar, opt-in through the CPS Family Portal or by contacting Ms. Howard. Rapid tests should be administered Friday mornings before school. Positive results should be reported to the Main Office.
CSUS Art in progress
Keep watching - a new installation is in the works in our breezeway!
Scholars at CSUS are working on a new art mural that will highlight our school values with multicolor lines and text. Scholars in grades 6-8 are welcome to volunteer to work on this special project during Art Recess, Art Club and Ms. Silbert's Drawing Elective.
Thank you for entrusting us with your scholar’s learning. We understand that you have choices regarding your child’s education, and appreciate you choosing CSUS. Your partnership and trust are a huge part of what makes CSUS spell SUCCESS!
Have a wonderful rest of the week!
