We Need Your Help!!!
If you have had the pleasure of joining us for a school presentation in the auditorium, you know we need new seats. Our scholars deserve better! We are also in need of an elevator; this deficiency has had profound consequences for members of our school community, including students and staff who struggle with mobility issues.
Our Alderman, Lamont Robinson, has graciously agreed to join us in advocating for these improvements but we have to lend our voice. We need the village to show up at one of the Capital Community Engagement meetings. All the meetings are online. Please use this link to register for one of the dates and times below:
Thursday, April 4: 3–4:30 p.m.
Thursday, April 4: 5:30–7 p.m. (Spanish Only)
Friday, April 5: Noon–1:30 p.m.
Friday, April 5: 3–4:30 p.m.
Monday, April 8: 5–6:30 p.m.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent/Teacher Conference Night is Wednesday, April 10 from 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm. Teachers will have a break from 3 pm - 4 pm.
We have some exciting things lined up for the night:
- Come hear what your child has learned, what's in store for Quarter 4, and how you can support their success.
- There will be a medical van on site to provide physicals and immunizations.
- Bright Star Community Outreach will join us with available resources (i.e. housing, job, etc).
- Parent University will also be present with resources and support as well.
You are your scholar's greatest advocate and we want to partner to ensure they are successful. We can not wait to see you!
