Cunha Intermediate School

Next week is the Outdoor Education Field Trip! In this email you will find the packing list as well as important information in preparation for this trip.

Please note:

• Students should be dropped off at the regular time on Monday 10/13, by 8:40 am.

• Students will return on Friday 10/17, they will be back on campus before 11:30am

• You can check in medications at the table next to the Cunha Library in the morning.

• Students should have (and keep with them) a bag lunch and their jacket.

• Clothes, sleeping bags, pillows etc. should be labeled with first and last names.

• Letters from parents can be handed in at the Medication table. And will be delivered Monday or Thursday.

To help students feel confident and comfortable as they get ready to depart, we ask that parents say their goodbyes at drop-off and not enter the library. In the past, lingering visits have sometimes led to feelings of homesickness.

6th graders who are not attending Outdoor Education are expected to be at school next week. Attendance will be taken as usual since students on the trip are also attending school, just in a different setting.

Our brand new Hudl camera has been installed! Visit this link to watch live games, or recordings of athletic event: https://fan.hudl.com/usa/ca/half-moon-bay/organization/186195/manuel-f-cunha-inte

Additionally, please note that the Hudl camera system is used to record and livestream Cunha athletic events. Students participating in games or activities on the field or court may appear in these recordings as part of the live sports coverage.

If you have any questions about this, please contact the Boys and Girls Club and/or Cunha Administration.

Please join us for the next PTO meeting on October 21st from 6:00-7:30 pm. We will be meeting in room D-1. Dr. Miramontes was originally scheduled to join us but had to reschedule. We will let you know when we have a new date for his visit to PTO.
