Grades 6-12 Student Survey
To help us better understand the experiences of CPS students this fall, we will be administering a survey to students in grades 6-12 this month. The survey should take students no more than 10 minutes to complete and student responses will be reported completely anonymously. Your student’s participation will help us learn about what is going well and what can be improved as we plan for the second semester.
If you have any questions about this survey or do not want your child to participate, please contact Jennifer Amigone, Director of Research, Assessment and Evaluation at by Tuesday, December 8th at 5pm.

Courageous Conversations: Looking for Core Organizers
Courageous Conversations is a caregiver-led group that has an educational and advocacy focus on creating time and space for school community members to have conversations about race and racial equity, and how it impacts teaching, learning and family experiences at school. The goal was to share and learn from each other's experiences and histories and reimagine a more inclusive experience for all our students and families. We are incredibly excited to continue this important work in our community.
This is all part of a larger district effort towards CPS’ commitment towards an anti-racist school district and to breaking down barriers to equity.
We are looking for core organizers to form Courageous Conversations at CRLS. If you can dedicate a few hours a month to help start this please reach out to Bernette Dawson or Greta Hardina.

Student Contest!
This year we are motivating student engagement with computer science through a district-wide contest that includes 4 challenges. Each challenge has an identified grade band and provides guidelines for submissions. Students will create a copy of a submission Google Slide deck and share it with Ingrid Gustafson. Random entries will be drawn for a prize in each grade band. Please reach out to Ingrid Gustafson with any questions about the contests.

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.
