Parent Updates

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

 

I want to remind all that we are hosting teacher meetings during the following times next week.

  • Tuesday, 1/17,  2:30-3:30 pm
  • Wednesday, 1/18,  8:30-9:30 am
  • Thursday, 1/19, 2:30 –3:30 pm
  • Friday, 1/20, 8:30 – 9:30 am

 

As much as possible, we ask that you give your student’s teacher advance notice.  Please click here for a list of teacher contact information.

 

In terms of process:

  • Teachers will be in their respective classrooms. We will have the personnel to help with teacher location.
  • We ask that you limit your conversations to 5-7 minutes. If a conversation needs more time, we ask that you make arrangements with the teacher to continue the conversation offline.
  • If you wish to meet remotely, please contact the teacher to set up a time.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Ortiz. [email protected]

 

Sincerely,

Dr. Ryan

 
 
Wellness: Health and Safety Update

Masks Encouraged: Guidance from Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) recommends that students wear a mask when returning from breaks.  While we are not making masking mandatory, we strongly suggest that students wear a mask upon their return to school. We will have a limited number of disposable masks available. 
 
Symptom Check: The following is from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health regarding symptoms
“Keep children home from daycare or school who have fever, especially with a cough, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, congestion, runny nose, or sore throat, until they are fever-free for 24 hours without medications that reduce fever.”
 
Bottle Filling Stations: Students are strongly encouraged to use refillable bottles for water. We no longer will be supplying cups. The stations also have the functionality of a water fountain.
 
Dress Code:
As you are aware, we started off the year with supply chain issues from our vendor, as a result we allowed non CRB pullovers. As we are now in midyear students must adhere to our dress code policy and can no longer wear any pullover. They must be in a CRB approved pullover. 

•    Polo Shirt: Scholars need to wear a polo shirt imprinted with the Cristo Rey Boston logo.

•    Pants/Skort: Scholars need to wear a pair of khaki, dark grey, navy blue or black dress pants with a professional, brown and/or black belt or the official khaki skort. Jeans, leggings, tights, and yoga pants are not permitted.

•    Footwear: Dress and casual close-toed shoes including athletic sneakers are permitted.  Sandals, slippers, moccasins, crocs, or open-toed/open-heeled shoes are not permitted. 

•    Sweaters and Fleece Jackets (Optional): Scholars may choose to wear a sweater, or a zip-up fleece imprinted with the Cristo Rey Boston logo These options must be purchased through official CRB retailers. Scholars are not to wear hoodies, winter jackets, vests, or jackets with hoods during the academic day, at both school and the workplace. Scholars may wear non-CRB, solid color navy blue, professional ¼ Zip Pullovers, fleeces, sweaters that are at the discretion of the school as to the professionalism of the attire.
 
If a student is not in dress code, they may be sent home.   
Cristo Rey Boston is thrilled to announce a new partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Dorchester that will provide BGCD memberships to all CRB students! Students will be able to access the afterschool program and facilities at the Paul R. McLaughlin Youth Center (1135 Dorchester Avenue) and the Marr Clubhouse (35 Deer Street) from 2:30- 5:30 PM Mondays through Fridays.
 
In order to access the membership, students must complete these forms before their first visit: membership form and the teen registration form.
