    • Thank you for your patience if you see some blank spots in the schedule.  

    • Don’t worry–everyone will have a complete schedule by the first day of school!

  • Questions? Please call the school at 617.349.4060

    • Please know schedules are set :

      • We take many factors into consideration when creating them.

      • Changes are complex and only happen in extreme circumstances, and only after all other efforts to face a challenging situation have not helped.

    • IF your student is placed in an incorrect specials class, do let us know.  

    • IF your student sees their schedule and feels anxiety about who they are or are not with, thank you in advance for helping them face this anxiety:

      • Remind them that one of our core values is commUnity–teachers actively work to build relationships between students.  

      • Friendships always ebb and flow.  There are many new students to RAUC so there are many opportunities to make new connections.

      • Lunch and recess is 40-45 minutes and a wonderful opportunity to connect with anyone in the school.
