As we monitor the rally happening in downtown Durham today, we want to ensure we keep our school and our students safe. Because safety is our priority, we will be dismissing students early. You can pick your child up now. We will begin dismissal at 1:00pm and ask for all children to be picked up by 1:30pm. For pick-up, a CPSC staff member will be walking your child to the car. We understand that this may extend pick-up line, so we ask you for your patience. We are continuing to monitor the events happening downtown and would like to encourage you to do the same, including monitoring street closings. Thank you for your support and patience as we come together as a community to promote your children’s safety and wellbeing.
Mientras monitoreamos la marcha de hoy en el centro de Durham, queremos asegurarnos de mantener nuestra escuela y estudiantes a salvo. Porque la seguridad es nuestra prioridad, la salida será más temprano. Puede recoger a su hijo ahora mismo. La salida empezará a la 1pm y pedimos que los niños sean recogidos hacia la 1:30pm. Para la recogida, un miembro de la escuela CPSC caminara a su hijo hacia su carro. Nosotros entendemos que sera una fila extensa, asi que le pedimos paciencia. Seguimos monitoreando los sucesos del centro y le sugerimos hacer lo mismo, incluyendo monitorear el cierre de las calles. Gracias por su apoyo y paciencia al mismo tiempo que nos reunimos como comunidad para promover la seguridad y el bienestar de sus hijos.
CPSC's Middle School serves fifth through eighth grades. The middle school is at 121 Hunt Street, half a mile southeast of our elementary school building and just a block east of Durham's Central Park. Our mascot is the phoenix.
CPSC Middle School empowers all students to become ethical, caring, and critical democratic citizens. We are dedicated to creating a diverse, safe, and supportive community where our students can take risks, grow, and explore their unique strengths and interests.
Our Expeditionary Learning-inspired curriculum takes CPSC's child-centered, project-based approach to the next level for students entering adolescence. Expeditionary Learning (EL) is active, challenging and collaborative. With its emphasis on adventure and exploration, its focus on diversity and inclusion, and its incorporation of service, fieldwork, and outdoor learning, EL is a natural fit for our young scholars.
Arts and technology are woven into our curriculum, giving students lots of outlets for their ideas. And our dynamic electives program offers foreign language, art, music, technology/maker, and more.
By offering their time and skills to the community, our students blossom into responsible, compassionate, contributing members of society. Whether it's reading with CPSC kindergartners or filling a need for one of our neighbors, service learning is a regular part of our school week.
