We hope you are continuing to enjoy a safe and relaxing summer. We are so excited to be welcoming back our students so soon! As a reminder, we will resume full-time in-person learning on August 30th. Please click here for more specifics for the district details about the reopening.

We are looking forward to seeing you on Monday!

Announcements
Circumstances for Remote Learning
In the event that a student is unvaccinated and requires quarantine or isolation as directed by the OSHW or CDPH, remote instruction will be provided. It is important to note that remote instruction will only be offered if a student meets these requirements. Remote instruction will not be offered for students who choose to stay home, or who are otherwise sick and unable to attend school. If your student requires quarantine or isolation, you will receive specific instructions from your school on how to ensure that they are able to access remote instruction during this period of time.
Finally, it is important to note that parent refusal to take a child to school is not an ISBE-approved reason for an excused absence. Accordingly, if a student is absent from school due to parent refusal, the student will be marked absent unexcused.
When school leaders are notified that students must isolate or quarantine, they will have a 24 hour (school day) period to communicate with educators, students and families and prepare for remote learning to begin.
Note: Students who need to quarantine due to travel do not qualify for remote learning.
Covid Vaccination Records
Daily CPS Health Screener
Staff and students will conduct daily health screenings at home before they come to school. All staff and families will self-screen using the CPS health screening questions each morning to ensure they can safely come to school.
NOTE: Staff and students will not be required to undergo a temperature check or to submit an online health form to be checked at school upon entry
