We created this guidebook -- diligently reviewed by CRLS staff and printed by CRLS for rising 9th grade families-- so that all parents/caregivers have the information they need to support the success of their student at CRLS. Pick up your printed guidebook for 8th grade (rising 9th grade) at the January 28, 2026 CRLS information session for Rising 9th graders. See the online versions here:
