Back to School Materials Hub - Charles River School

Dear CRS Families,

We are so looking forward to seeing you at the start of the new school year! The first day of school is Wednesday, September 4th.

On this page, you will find centralized back-to-school information. Additional content will continue to be added for the 2024/2025 school year over the coming weeks.

A reminder that morning dropoff begins runs from 8:00 – 8:15 a.m. in the carpool circle for students PreK-5 and at the Travis Middle School Building for students 6-8.

Carpool placards will be distributed on the first day of school and sent home in the backpacks of each child. Please put this placard on your dashboard and make sure that whoever is picking up your child has a placard in the front car window with the student’s last name written clearly on it. This ensures that the carpool process runs smoothly!

Additionally, please complete all forms including the Dismissal and Pickup Authorization Form in the Parent Portal before the first day of school.

Our Otters will begin the fall sports season on Monday, September 9. If your child will be participating in a fall sport, for the first week of school, please make arrangements to pick them up at the 3:10 dismissal or sign them up for the Extended Day Program (EDP).

For questions about fall sports, please reach out to Director of Athletics Paul Rupprecht.

As a reminder, if your student has an EpiPen, inhaler or any other prescribed medication, please be sure to drop off the medication and the doctor’s order before the start of school if possible. Our school nurse, Rachel Jackson, will be on campus August 28 and 29. If it is not possible to bring these items to campus before the start of school, please do so in the first week.

A reminder to complete the health forms in the parent portal and upload a current physical exam before the first day of school.*

*Special reminder for Grade 5 families: In order for students to attend the field trip to farm school, these forms must be completed.
