Spine

Health Notice to VLUS Families
During May, all students will have postural screening during their physical education classes. A letter about the annual screening is going home with students this week. 

Sign and return the letter only if you don’t want your child to have the screening at school. 

Please call our school nurse, Mary-Margaret Segraves, RN, Ph. D, at 316.349.6600 x295 if you have any questions about postural screening.

Bikes

Safe Routes to School Program
Do you want your children to be able to walk or bike to school safely? Do you want to save time and money by using your car less frequently? The City of Cambridge is developing a Safe Routes to School program to support and encourage students who would like to walk or bike to school. Help us learn your thoughts about children walking and biking to school in Cambridge by completing our survey. It will take about five minutes and we ask that you complete a survey for each of your children. Please fill out survey by April 30th online or download the survey.

Math Programs

Get the most out of your Math Education!
Summer programs for current 5th-7th Graders
The CPS Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) department is offering three summer math programs for students who will be entering Grades 6-8 in September 2015.

  • Students entering Grades 6-7 may be interested in "Summer AMP Prep" -- a free morning math course that will help students build problem-solving skills.

  • Current 7th Graders who are excelling in "Grade Level Math" may wish to transfer into Accelerated Math for next year. Please speak with your child's math teacher to learn more, including about the summer "Bridge" program designed to help students make this transition.

  • Students who are significantly behind in math may be invited to participate in a third program, "Math 180." We will contact you if we think this might be a good option for your student.

Registration forms and further information are posted online.
