Comp-Sci Weekly

March 27, 2023- March 31, 2023

Principals Message

Dear Families,


I hope you all had a good week, and Happy Spring! Things were good here, with lots of learning. Today I watched a class full of 7th graders discuss the "Death of Communism", and they did a great job. I love seeing our kids tackle heavy topics like this, and do it well. With that being said, we are also seeing signs of spring fever. Please take a minute this weekend to remind your child of your own behavior expectations, becuase I bet we are all on the same page. We have seen more horseplay this week, and continue sending the same message about our rules. Any help would be appreciated.


Spring sports start next week, and the kids are excited. Drama Club tryouts are also next week, so we will be busy after school. Remember, we also have our regular afterschool program, and if you are interested please email Mr. Prescott at cprescott@crec.org.


Enjoy the weekend (and March Madness if you are a UCONN fan!),


Jill Wnuk

CREC’s Statement of Diversity and Inclusion

“Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) is an intentionally diverse social justice organization whose members work to acknowledge, respect, and empathize with people of all different identifiers, such as race, socioeconomic status, gender identity and expression, education, age, ability, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, language, nationality, and religion. In accordance with CREC’s mission of equity, excellence, and success for all through high-quality educational services, our staff and students commit to participate in and support ongoing equity and inclusion programming through curricular and co-curricular offerings, professional learning, and local and national partnerships. Moreover, CREC staff and students strive to understand and confront the symptoms and causes of systematic oppression—ranging from implicit biases to micro aggressions to discriminatory policies, practices and traditions—that benefit privileged groups. While at CREC, staff and students commit to affirm and honor the lived experiences of others, to willingly challenge inherited beliefs and ideologies, and consequently learn, grow, and serve.”
