Good Afternoon CSUS Families and Caregivers,
It’s March, and we are hard at work at Cambridge Street! Last week, our 7th grade scholars visited scientists at Biontech, The Broad Institute, and Novartis as part of our partnership with the Netpals program. This Thursday, our
8th graders will have the opportunity to meet virtually with Dashka Slater, author of The 57 Bus.
Please see below for art work from our scholar artists of the week, slides and information from last week’s School Council meeting, and important upcoming dates at Cambridge Street.

CSUS School Council Slides
Last week our School Council reviewed CSUS’ midyear iReady data. We saw tremendous growth for scholars across all grades in ELA
and also saw many scholars meet midyear median growth expectations in math. This data is part of the wider profile of information about scholars that we use to identify how to adjust and improve classroom instruction.
The slides from last week’s meeting are available here. We appreciate your thoughts and feedback
as we use this data to inform our next instructional work. If you have questions, ideas to share, or would like to connect to discuss this data further, please complete this survey.
Other Important Upcoming Dates
Thank you for entrusting us with your scholars’ education, and for your ongoing support of our community.
Go Cobras!
