Greetings CPS Community!
I hope you are having a wonderful summer and soaking in the sunshine!
We wanted to share a quick update and some reminders. Last week, the Executive Leadership Team had some energizing and meaningful time together, not only preparing for the school year, but also planning for the next few years as we continue to develop our district plan.
We are also working very closely with the city to improve equitable access to universal pre-k (UPK). The Cambridge Office of Early Childhood (formerly known as Birth to 3) will continue to lead this work. The UPK Leadership Team, which is composed of city and school leadership, has been developed and in the fall, we look forward to sharing much more with you about the implementation of UPK. Our collaboration with the Department of Human Service Programs (DHSP) also continues as we support families with their after school care needs. We look forward to sharing more about this in the coming weeks.
I am delighted that we have selected individuals for three key executive leadership positions. Earlier this month, I shared a little bit about each of them. If you missed that communication, you can find it here.
We have received some questions about COVID mitigation measures that will be in place for the new school year. We will continue to monitor the data and collaborate with the Cambridge Public Health Department regarding any decisions. We assure you those will be communicated in a timely manner.
Please note that the next School Committee meeting will be on Tuesday, August 9.
Make it Great!
Dr. Victoria L. Greer
