uAspire has provided an easier way for students to enroll in the advising program by having students utilize a new "opt-in" number feature. Texting into this number will allow students to become directly enrolled in their advising program within 24-48 hrs. The number is 617-362-6814.

Seal of Biliteracy 2020 - 2021
The Massachusetts Seal of Biliteracy is a major initiative of the CRLS World Language and ELL Departments. The Seal is recorded on final student transcripts and is meant to set a new standard, a nationally recognized common denominator on what it means to be fluent in another language.
The ACTFL Assessment of Performance Towards Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) test replaces the AP exams as the primary qualifying WL assessment this year. The World Language department will offer the AAPPL remotely at no cost to any current CRLS senior interested in pursuing the Seal. If you are a current CRLS senior who is interested in pursuing the Seal of Biliteracy, please fill out this form by November 30, 2020.
Current CRLS juniors are eligible to take the AAPPL in pursuit of the Seal. If interested, please fill out the application now. Please note that we will not schedule juniors to take the AAPPL until later this winter.
For questions, email James Kelleher (or Vera Duarte for ELL).

CSV Tutoring & Mentoring Programs
Cambridge School Volunteers (CSV) offers one-to-one remote tutoring and mentoring for Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS) and High School Extension Program (HSEP) students. It's important for students to be able to commit to 1 hour at the same time each week for an academic semester.
Academic Tutoring: Meet one-to-one with a tutor once a week to receive support with one or more academic subjects and/or test preparation.
College and Career Mentoring: Meet one-to-one with a mentor once a week to receive support in planning for your post-secondary life. This can include career and college exploration, college admission essay help, scholarship application support, etc.
Freshmen Peer Mentoring: Freshmen students meet with a peer mentor every other week during the fall semester to assist their transition into high school. This is our first year running this program, so there is limited capacity for participants.
