Cunha Intermediate School
Week of August 13th to August 14th
First Week...Check!
Welcome back to a brand-new school year! We just wrapped up our first two days, and the energy across campus is officially off the charts.
If you were holding your breath at morning drop-off this week, you can officially exhale. Your kids are settling in, reconnecting, and filling the campus with positive energy. We spent the last 48 hours dropping into classrooms, lunchrooms, and hallways, and the consensus among students is unanimous: they are thrilled to be back.
Starting a new school year is a huge transition, but our students handled it like pros. A giant thank you to our parents, teachers, and staff for making this launch so seamless. We are heading into next week with high spirits and great momentum.
In case you missed it, attached below are the slides from the 6th Grade and New Student Orientation. Returning parents may want to peruse the slides to refresh their memory as well.

6th Grade Outdoor Education
We’re excited to offer our 6th graders the opportunity to attend Outdoor Education November 2–6 at no cost to families!
Outdoor Ed is a memorable week where students get to learn science through hands-on experiences, explore outside the classroom, spend time with their classmates, and experience something truly unique.
Please complete the interest form by August 28 to let us know if your student is interested in attending. This is not a commitment to attend—it will simply help us provide the Outdoor Ed team with an accurate headcount so they can plan accordingly and ensure appropriate staffing.
