Hello families and caregivers of our rising sixth grade scholars,
It was wonderful to be joined by so many families at last month’s Rising 6th Grade Information Night, and to begin welcoming our Class of 2028 to Cambridge Street! The following materials were shared with families:
If you were unable to join us in February, do not worry! Here are some of the additional upcoming opportunities and events we have planned to welcome you to CSUS!
In late March and April, I plan to join our Parent Caregiver Organization (PCO) for informal opportunities to connect with families at our feeder schools. These will be opportunities to introduce folks to the CSUS community, share information, and answer any questions.
In April and May, members of our teaching and learning team will visit fifth-grade classrooms at Fletcher Maynard, King Open, and Cambridgeport as an opportunity for scholars to ask questions and meet some of the adults that they will be working with next year.
In June we will invite scholars and caregivers of incoming 6th graders to join us for an evening of Fun, Food, Facts, and Figures from 5:30-6:30PM at CSUS. This will be an additional chance for scholars and families to hear from a panel of current 6th graders and their caregivers, learn about classes and middle school scheduling, and prepare for the transition to middle school.
On August 27th, we will host a New Scholar Orientation which will serve as another opportunity to meet teachers and staff, meet current scholars, and tour the building. Scholar schedules will also be available for pick up (schedules will also be available for view/download online, as well as on the first day of school).
We are offering a variety of events and opportunities for our new families to get to know Cambridge Street; we know families have many commitments and may not attend all events. Our goal is to ensure you feel welcomed and begin the year with the information you need to feel ready and excited to begin middle school with us. If you have any questions or needs, our staff are eager to answer them for you! You can reach us by emailing
Our Parent Caregiver Organization (PCO) is also eager to share their knowledge with you, and can be reached at
We are looking forward to meeting and getting to know you all!
