Dear Cerrito families, The last four days are upon us. We had a spelling bee today, said goodbye and appreciated our 1/2 buddies, and look forward to more closing activities in the days to come. We are still even trying to publish one more Chanterelle literary magazine. Crunch time! In this email are some recommendations for […]
Happy Memorial Day to all. I hope you enjoyed a long weekend with your family. I spent Saturday in bed with the stomach bug that sent three students home today. I found it to be a 2 to 3-day affair, the middle day quite unpleasant. May you and your children be healthy this week! The […]

Every docent I talked to reflected wistfully on the lessons […]

In order to make progress towards this vision, and to better use technology to enable students to “engage a […]
You’ve been informed, but perhaps you forgot: it’s Puberty Ed week. I am personally so grateful the school hires the wonderful Jennifer Devine to run these four days of coming-of-age education.
