For The Betterment of Our Students!
Hello Main Street Family!
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our scholars in the various activities they participated in the Macy's Fashion Show and the CUSD Oratorical Contest! Main Street showed up and showed out! The results can be found below in the Spotlight section.
We have now completed 3 of our four quarters. It is not time to slow down, but to pick up the pace. Our aim is to finish strong! Therefore, I will again stress the importance of ensuring your children are in school everyday on time.
The PSSA assessment will be administered to our students in grades 3-5 April 24th - May 12th. Your students must be present and punctual on testing days. Students who are absent or late will have to take the test during make up sessions. Prizes will be given to students who arrived on time during the testing block.
Spring Break begins Monday, April 3rd and ends Monday April 10th. Students will return to school Tuesday, April 11th. There are some activities included in this newsletter to give your children an opportunity to engage with their peers during the break.
When we return from break there are several programs available for our parents to engage in during the week. They are found in the attached flyers below.
Please see Dr. Parkinson's letter soliciting parent volunteers below. Your help is needed to assist us in providing both academic and social programs for our students.
Have a safe, fun-filled spring break!

I have been contacted by the Upland Borough Police Department with the following concerns:
- Parent crossing their children on Main Street typically from Castle Avenue, into the flow of traffic
- Parents crossing their children at 6th Street across to McClintock Drive
I am encouraging who drop their children off, to park on Main Street south facing 6th Street to avoid crossing traffic ways.
Please be advised: Effective Tuesday, January 17, 2023, police will be enforcing pedestrian laws on Main Street and parents are not to cross the roadway against traffic.
The safety of our students, parents and families are our utmost concern!
CUSD Technology Usage
Parents and Guardians:
Chromebooks or other technological devices are sent home with students to complete assignments on asynchronous days. These devices must be used to complete assignments given by your child's teacher or teachers. Students may not download games, wallpapers or participate in video group discussions. Please monitor your children to ensure they are not using their devices to participate in any of the above activities. Improper use of technology could result in the student losing privileges of using the school's device.
All students must report to school in uniform everyday!
Car Line
Parents:
Please refrain from making u turns in the car line during dismissal. The safety of our children and parents is of utmost importance to us. We would like to move the cars through the line without any disruptions.
