Welcome to CSS! Whether this is your family’s first CSS summer or hundredth, here is a cheat sheet of this summer’s activities for you to preview. Mark your calendars and prepare to get the full Science School experience.
Session A/AB teachers and all assistants will be setting up the schoolhouse for opening day. If this is your first summer, please feel free to stop by for a brief visit to introduce yourself to Kate Schafer, CSS Director.
Make sure to send your child wearing closed toed shoes which can get wet, with sunscreen applied. A hat and a water bottle are optional but helpful. At the beginning of each class, Kate will address all families in the schoolyard. Parents will get important information such as parking, pick up and drop off. Plan ahead — parking is not available on School Street. Please walk to the schoolyard if you can. Otherwise, park at a metered spot to gather in the schoolyard.
Come cheer on the 2023 CSS Assistants as they march in the parade! It is always a fun surprise to see how they’ve dressed up to celebrate and the humor of the local laboratory participants is an added bonus!
This is a chance for parents and families to meet their child’s teacher and teaching assistants in the classroom, hear about what your child will learn in class and the fun activities and field trips they will experience. The hour is broken up into four 15-minute periods (8:30am classes will meet 6:00-6:10pm, 10:30am classes will meet 6:15-6:25pm, 12:30pm classes will meet 6:30-6:40pm and 2:30pm classes meet 6:45-6:55pm). There are light refreshments served in the schoolyard courtesy of the CSS Hospitality Committee. Kids and families can socialize in the schoolyard. The CSS Store is open if you’d like to purchase a CSS t-shirt, bag, mug, rain jacket, artwork or other CSS items! WHOI opens up their School Street Parking Lot to CSS for this event.
Come to the schoolhouse to meet the Board and offer any thoughts or ideas you may have. All are welcome!
Time and location to be announced. CSS is a remarkable success story relying on close to 100 volunteers to create the fun summer experience for our kids each year. If you have volunteered or sign up to volunteer for this summer’s session, you will be invited to this party to kick back and relax.
Pop in for the last 15 minutes of each class. This is the second time parents and families are invited to their child’s classroom to see what they have been up to during the past three weeks.
