Cunha Intermediate School

Over 600 parent and teacher conferences were held this week! We appreciate all of the families who took the time to collaborate with us. Though conferences are only once a year, we hope that partnerships formed will have a lasting impact.

Please join us next Tuesday, November 4th for our 2nd ELAC meeting of the year via Zoom! We will send out the link the morning of the meeting.

Topics discussed will include-

• How to understand your students report card (i.e. grades/GPA)
• A presentation by Dr. Gerry Lopez on Barriers to Education

If your student is in an English Language Development class, attendance is required.

We hope to see you there!

Any Cunha student is welcome to attend Homework Club. Whether your child needs tutoring or just a place to get work done after school, this is the place for them! No sign-ups are needed, but attendance is taken in case you want to check if your child made it to the right place.

See flyers below for days, times, and location.

We know that students learn best when they feel best. According to the National Center for Education Statistics: 70% of public schools say more students are seeking mental health services.

This school year, we’re proud to offer all students with $0 access to online therapy and counseling services, through our partnership with Hazel Health. Services are 100% safe and confidential.

Your student can speak 1-on-1 with a licensed therapist from the convenience of school or home, with your consent. Hazel Health provides high-quality care for all students — no matter their insurance or immigration status.

Hazel Health’s licensed therapists can help students build the tools and skills they need to succeed in and out of the classroom:

• Improve communication and confidence

• Build healthy friendships and relationships

• Develop coping skills to manage emotions

• Navigate academic stress and pressure

Hazel’s short-term online therapy program has been proven to reduce symptoms of common mental health concerns — and gives kids tools to cope with challenges they face at school and beyond. Students cannot receive care without your consent, so please take 5 minutes to sign up today at hazel.co.

The Say Something-Anonymous Reporting System (ARS) program empowers students to be Upstanders and say something to a Trusted Adult when they recognize warning signs and threats. The Tip Line allows you to submit secure, anonymous safety concerns to help someone who may hurt themselves or others.
