Cunha Intermediate School

This edition of the Cub Corner is jam packed with information about our school and opportunities for students and families. Please take time to read through the updates, so you don't miss a thing! The tabs on the left may be helpful for you to jump to a particular section. Additionally, these newsletters will be linked on the Cunha website, so you can refer to past editions if needed. Thank you for taking the time to be an active participant in the Cunha community.

Back to School Night

We had a great Back to School Night this Wednesday. It was so nice to meet the new families and see so many familiar faces as well. Hopefully, you were able to get a glimpse of your child's middle school experience by meeting the teachers and hustling to each class during passing period.

As you heard during the presentation portion, all of the parent groups on campus are crucial to the success of this school. We hope that you take an active role in the Cunha community by attending meetings or volunteering. See the links below for more information about each group.

Congratulations to the 2025-2026 ASB Officers!

The Cunha Voluntary Tuition Drive runs from Thursday, September 4 through Friday, September 26. This year, we are aiming to raise $45,000 to support Cunha students and their teachers through classroom stipends, departmental funds and two exciting initiatives: Challenge Day and Project Reboot.

The recommended donation is $275 per Cunha Cub, although any amount is appreciated, and can be made by cash, check to Cunha PTO or online at CunhaPTO.org. Regardless of how you contribute, please encourage your student to return the blue donation envelope to their homeroom teacher. Classes who return 100% of their envelopes qualify for fun prizes and incentives.

Thank you for helping make Cunha Intermediate School an exceptional place to learn and grow!
