Class of 2036

Dear Coonley Class of 2036 Families,

As we enter the last quarter of the school year, we are actively planning for the 2023-2024 school year. Early Kindergarten registration helps us to plan effectively for next year. By registering early, families help us ensure we know the anticipated number of young learners we will welcome in the fall.

Kindergarten registration for next school year has begun. Registration information can be found here. Questions about registration? Please email Ms. Quiros and Ms. Lopez.

We are very excited to welcome the Class of 2036! Please save the date for the following events for our incoming kindergarteners and their families.

• Kindergarten Sneak Peek: Tuesday, May 9th 4:30 - 5:15 PM
• Kindergarten Orientation: Wednesday, August 16th 2:45 PM
• Back to School Meet & Greet (all grade levels): Thursday, August 17th 3:00 - 5:00 PM

Additionally, we are very excited to offer a free 5-week summer program called Kick-Off to Kindergarten. See below for more information.

In Partnership,

Brennen Humphrey
Principal

Is your child entering kindergarten at Coonley for the 2023-2024 school year? Our Kick-Off to Kindergarten program will provide your child with the opportunity to further develop literacy, math, and social emotional skills necessary to be successful and ready to start Kindergarten on August 21, 2023. Register here! Seats are limited; registration is first come, first serve.

This program is five day per week except for the first week, which starts on a Tuesday.

Do you have a child between 0 and 5 that is having difficulties with cognitive/academic, communication, social-emotional, and fine/gross motor skills?

The ODLSS Child Find Screening Team provides free early childhood developmental screenings for children birth to five. Developmental screenings can indicate if a child is having difficulties with cognitive/academic, communication, social-emotional, and fine/gross motor skills. A hearing and vision screening is also available. Child find screenings are for children who are not enrolled in a Chicago Public Schools. Regional screenings are held monthly at several Chicago Public Libraries across the city. No appointment is necessary.
