The CRLS Family Guidebook
The CRLS Family Guidebook
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. Printed guidebooks for 8th grade (rising 9th grade) families will be arriving at CPSD middle schools starting the week of March 17. Download the versions here:
