As you will recall from the business office e-mails and letters at the end of March, CFS is no longer managing student billing internally.  All tuition payments go through FACTS Tuition Management. Families will continue to pay their tuition bill in one of three ways:

Families who still have not set up their FACTS accounts - it is critical that you sign up now so they can begin managing your account. If you have not already set up your payment plan with FACTS for the 2010-2011 academic year, please do so immediately. The business office WILL be able to manage the addition of incidental fees, during the course of the year, to your existing FACTS payment plan for the 2010-2011 school year.

Through FACTS Management's direct debit program, families authorize automatic bank payments directly from their bank account for their monthly tuition bill. Please be assured that neither FACTS Management nor the school will have direct access to or any knowledge about the status of your bank account. It is simply a pre-authorized bank-to-bank transfer of funds.

If you have not received an email from FACTS or have any questions about the enrollment process, please feel free to contact Harriet Hart at ext. 117 h.hart@cfsmass.org or Chris Rosell at ext.118 c.rosell@cfsmass.org in the Business Office.

The Family Association's Family Service Committee (FSC) encourages CFS families to contribute supplies destined for Partners in Health clinics in Haiti. A local family collects supplies, a moving company transports them free to Yonkers, NY to a non profit that fills containers and ships them:
(www.afyafoundation.org).

They are seeking mobility devices, tools, flashlights, batteries, clothing, toys, shoes,mattresses, pads, tents, tarps, school supplies, sleeping bags, baby bottles, diapers, wipes, rubber boots, raincoats, personal care items, sheets and blankets, insect repellant.

Deliver supplies to the porch of Amelia Cohn at 37 Gorham St. (off Hammond) in Cambridge anytime. The collection is ongoing; there is no deadline. For more information contact Pat Goudvis, co-clerk of the FSC (Ben in third grade and Natalia in sixth grade).

Cambridge Friends School first opened its doors to students in September of 1961, which means that our school's 50th anniversary is only a year and a half away!

Want to get involved in preparing for this historic milestone?
The Cambridge Friends School 50th Anniversary Planning Committee is looking for volunteers to organize celebratory events, work on research and outreach to alumni, collect and write the history of the school, and make the anniversary meaningful to current students and faculty through classroom coordination.

If you are interested in helping CFS honor its history, contact 50th Anniversary Planning Committee clerk Jackie Horne (grade 6 Maddie Smith) via telephone or e-mail.

Street Cleaning on Cadbury Road (District H) is April through December, on the 3rd Friday and 4th Monday of those months. For a schedule please visit the Cambridge DPW street cleaning webpage.
