Dear Henry Hawk Families

One more week before the end of the quarter and until Spring Break. If you have not had access to Aspen Parent Portal, please be sure to contact the main office. On Parent Portal, you can see your child's grades daily/weekly.

Please remember that this Friday is a School Improvement Day and there will be no classes.

This week we will continue our IAR testing. The Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) assesses progress of students in grades 3-8 in meeting the Illinois Learning Standards in English language arts and mathematics.

Thank you to those who attended our staff vs. students basketball game last Thursday. We had a sold out event! Staff won! :)

Teachers will be sending out appointment letters this week for our Parent Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, April 20th.

Please remember that if your child tests positive for COVID-19, please complete the self report on the following link: https://chicagopsprod.service-now.com/health?id=cps_self_report

As always, we will continue working to provide your children with a safe, healthy learning environment where they can reach their full potential.

If you have a child who will be 4 years old by the start of the 2022-2023 school year, please stop by outside the main office during parent teacher conferences on April 20th to enroll.

(It is important to note that the priority rules from CPS' Office of Early Childhood have changed this year. Students who have siblings at a school and/or live within a 1.5 mile radius of a school now receive priority for enrollment. Please also note that all enrollment for Pre-K is still handled by the Office of Early Childhood.)

The best way to have your child be prepared for these testing days is to make sure they have enough rest by going to bed early, eat a good breakfast, and to provide your child with words of encouragement.
