Dear Henry Hawk Families

Two more weeks 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.

This week we will have 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.

We will also be hosting our staff vs. student fundraising basketball game on Thursday, March 31st (see information in our newsletter below.).

Thank you to our LSC candidates for a wonderful forum last Tuesday. You can see a recording of the LSC Forum in our newsletter below.

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.
