Message from Christen Sohn

Good afternoon CSUS parents and caregivers,

I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable winter break. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Joyous Kwanzaa to those who celebrated. We are excited to come back together for a week of impactful learning!

Read on for more information about this week’s homework and important upcoming dates at CSUS!

Food Resources for Eligible School-Aged Cambridge Residents
The below options are also available during school hours for ALL students:

• All students have access to FREE breakfast and lunch every school day. View the daily menus here. **CSUS cafeteria doors open at 8AM for scholars who would like breakfast** Breakfast options are available through arrival and until classes begin at 8:45AM. 
• CPS Food Services is making meals more substantial by adding more protein options to daily menus. 
• Students may visit salad bars more than once during meals for additional fruit and vegetables. 
• Students are encouraged to use the “share tables” in the cafeterias. Students who have wrapped, unused food items can place them on the share table for others to take as needed. 
• If you need additional support or want to visit a local free food market, find all options here. 

Reminder Regarding Travel and Extended Absences 
Please be reminded of the protocol for extended vacations. If you are planning to travel for an extended period of time, the principal and classroom teachers/advisors must be notified in advance of travel dates. Any trip resulting in more than 10 days of absences requires sabbatical paperwork to be submitted in order to maintain your child’s enrollment in the school. All academic work assigned by teachers will need to be made up before, during or after travel. It is also important to recognize that students who miss significant amounts of instruction, learning, and assessment may fall behind in their grades regardless of if the absence is excused or unexcused.

Upcoming important Dates 

• January 13 & 15: iReady testing for all grades 
• January 19: No School - MLK Day 
• January 20: Rising 6th Grade Information Night | 5:30 - 7PM

Thank you for entrusting us with your scholars’ education. Have a wonderful week, and Go Cobras!
