The packets are being sent to your child's First Class school email account and are also available on the CRLS Math Department web site. Click here Your child's pre-course packet is due on the 1st day of math class in the fall.

News from FOCA:
FOCA is looking for 1 or 2 people who could volunteer to set up an online school store for CRLS this summer to be ready to launch in the fall.
The students in the business class run the CRLS school store and this online school store would be an extension of their learning.
The online store would be featuring the clothing we sell ( FOCA subsides the clothing and all sales support CRLS and athletics).
We would like to create an online order form to order the clothing we sell. We would like an option to personalize it or create team clothing. We would like photos of the merchandise on the page.
We would like to link it to the CRLS site.
We would need to be able to have people pay on line and either ship the merchandise or pick up at school.
Please contact Laurie Gaines ( lauriebee4@aol.com) or Tom Arria ( TArria@cpsd.us ) if you world be willing to work with us this summer. Thank you
