Greetings Caruso Families,
Welcome to the home stretch for the 2016-17 school year!
For our returning families, you may click here for the 2017-18 school supply lists. PTO school supply pack ordering information can also be found below.
On a separate note, we have our final MAP test of the year on the morning of Wednesday, May 17th.
Sincerely,

1st/FINAL Posting - Smart watches at school
As smart watches (i.e. Apple Watches) become more prevalent with our students we are also encountering additional disruptions to the classroom environment. Moving forward at Caruso, we are now addressing smart watches in the same manner that we do with cell phones. Between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. smart watches that are brought to school should be left in a students' locked locker unless permission is given by a specific teacher to use it in a specific classroom. Thank you for reinforcing this message at home.
On a somewhat related topic, please remember to not call or text students during the school day. You may reach out to the front office if you need assistance in contacting your child. Also, students need to communicate through the office should they need to contact you during the academic day.
1st Posting - 7th Grade Parents, PTO needs your help for a fantastic program!
Reality 101, Monday, June 5th
Reality 101 is a program that teaches students to begin to think about making good life decisions through a "real life" simulation experience. Students assume a "life" as an adult and proceed through various stations making decisions about purchasing what they would require in the real world.
