CPS Health Screener Has Changed

Be sure to do your child's self health screener checklist before coming to school each day. Check CPS's website for any changes being made at https://www.cps.edu/services-and-supports/health-and-wellness/health-screener-instructions/ or contact the Cleveland office with any questions at 773-534-5130.

Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Julie Weber, and I’m so excited and honored to be the new president of Friends of Cleveland!

I’ve been involved with FOC as a board member and Vice President since 2018. I’ve also been the chairperson for our gala - Celebrate Cleveland. I have a 3rd grader and a Kindergartener.

In our community, I created Front Porch Christmas over on N. Sacramento which gave toys to over 500 kids in our neighborhood and beyond last December.

I know this year may be challenging - but together, we will make it an amazing one!

I would like to extend an invite to all parents, teachers and staff to our next board meeting set for September 28th at 5:30pm at Leader Bar. Light appetizers will be served.

I look forward to meeting new parents looking to get involved, parents who’ve been a part of FOC now and in the past - and all the new ideas to come!

1. Download the Box Tops for Education app and scan your receipt each time you purchase a Box Tops item (grocery, household cleaning and your school supplies). The app will find participating products and add Box Tops to the Cleveland earnings online- you can even specify your child's classroom!

2. If you see an old pink Box Top, clip it! We will continue to collect valid (not expired) Box Tops. When you have a handful, please have your student turn them into their teacher.
