Estimadas familias,

Ha sido una semana llena de desayunos, conciertos y eventos celebrando el aprendizaje y el trabajo de l@s estudiantes. Me ha encantado ver a muchos de ustedes aquí y sé que siempre es muy significativo para el alumnado tener una audiencia verdadera. Si le ha costado a usted llegar a nuestros eventos, por favor, déjenme saberlo e intentaremos facilitar su llegada y o transportación al próximo evento.

Hoy quiero desearles a todas las familias de Amigos unas maravillosas vacaciones de invierno. Espero que puedan descansar, viajar o simplemente pasar tiempo con sus seres queridos. También quiero agradecerles por su dedicación y colaboración continua con la escuela. Ustedes hacen una gran diferencia en el trabajo que hacemos.

¡Felices fiestas y nos vemos en el 2019!

Dear Families,

It has been a week full of breakfasts, concerts, and events celebrating student learning and work. I've loved seeing so many of you here and I know it always means a lot to the students to have a real audience. If you were unable to make it to our events, please let me know and we will try to facilitate your arrival and/or transportation to the next event.

Today I want to take a moment to wish all our Amigos families a wonderful winter break. I hope you can rest, travel or simply spend time with your loved ones. I also want to thank you for your continued dedication and collaboration with the school. You make a big difference in the work we do.

Happy holidays and see you in 2019!

Learning & Professional Time
Like any other resource, schools must use their time wisely if we hope to realize the promise of educational equity through rigorous, joyful, and culturally responsive experiences for all learners. 

In 2017-18, a joint group of educators and administrators, co-chaired by leaders from the Cambridge Education Association (CEA) and CPS Office of Curriculum and Instruction recommended that CPS “lengthen the standard day for students and staff at all levels.” After an extensive collaborative process, the Superintendent of Schools has decided to propose a moderate increase to the 6 hour elementary and upper school day, along with guidelines for effectively meeting the educational, developmental, and social-emotional needs of students.

A new FAQ has been posted in response to questions we have received during the community feedback process. More details from surveys, working groups, and feedback sessions will be posted soon. Learn more >>
