Upon arrival, families and students should enter through the main lobby where you will be given a copy of your child's schedule. During the Open House you will meet teachers in their classrooms and receive an overview of what your child is studying.
The Open House Schedule is as follows:

Latin student trip to France/Italy - Feb. Vacation 2014:
Right after the Open House, there will be a parent/student meeting for any Latin students interested in traveling to southern France and Italy over February vacation 2014. In France we will visit four of the best preserved ancient Roman sites in the world: a temple, amphitheatre, aqueduct, and theatre. In Italy, there will be stops in Milan, Cumae, Naples and Pompeii. In Rome the students will visit the major ancient sites as well as the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. We will wrap up the trip with an afternoon at Gladiator Training School. I hope to enroll about 25 travelers. Parents are welcome to enroll as travelers, however only CRLS faculty members will be chaperones.
Given the brevity of time, fundraising for the trip will start immediately after the meeting. The Friends of CRLS offers travel scholarships to students who are eligible for free or reduced lunch. Any donations toward the trip can be made in the form of a check made out to: "CRLS Latin Club - Italy Trip fund." The meeting for the trip will be held in room 2321 at 8:00 (right after the Open House on Tuesday, September 17th). Please contact Maria Giacchino, the Latin teacher, if you have any questions: mgiacchino@cpsd.us

Join the CRLS Arts Committee:
The CRLS Arts Committee is dedicated to supporting arts programming for students in the Visual and Performing Arts.
We do this through fundraising to benefit programs, volunteering at arts performances and exhibits, and offering support to students involved in the arts.
We are involved in most events and performances, helping with tasks such as ticket sales, ushering, concessions, and sustenance during rehearsals. We help with publicity for all the openings, as well as fundraising. Each year we host an end of year "Celebrate the Arts" event to celebrate our students' successes in the Arts and offer a tribute to graduating seniors.
Volunteering is fun, and opportunities can be large or small. We need bakers, cooks, ticket takers, ushers, concession sellers, event organizers, and publicists. Join us! Come to our first meeting on Sep 11, 7:30, arts building basement, contact: debirenegallagher@gmail.com to learn more, follow CRLSArts on Facebook, or visit http://tinyurl.com/CRLSArts to sign up for our listserv.
