Summer Safety Protocols

Face Coverings

Each child must wear a cloth face covering everyday.


Health Screener

https://chicagopsprod.service-now.com/health OR patrickhenryes.cps.edu

All students are required to complete a Health Screener each morning. Before sending your child to school each day, you should complete the Health Screener from home for your child.


The Health Screener asks about COVID-19 symptoms your child may be experiencing, as well as any recent travel or potential exposure to COVID-19. The screener will become available at 4:30am and must be completed each morning before arrival. Filling out the screener the evening before arrival will NOT clear your child to attend school that day, as it is possible for symptoms to develop overnight. Please note that if your child does not have a completed health screener for that day, they may be sent home.


Accessing the health screener:


Temperature Check

Upon arrival at school, a staff member will check your child’s health screener status and take his/her temperature using a contactless forehead thermometer. If your child’s temperature is under 100.4 degrees, they will proceed into the building and classroom.If your child did not pass the health screener or their temperature is 100.4 degrees or greater, your child will be sent to the CARE Room and a parent/guardian will be called to pick up the child.


Summer Meals

Henry will be a meal distribution site this summer. Meal distribution will be from June 21st through August 20th from 9:00-1:00. No meal distribution will occur on July 5th.

Virtual Academy to Serve Eligible Students in Fall 2021

The vast majority of CPS students will return to school five days a week this fall. However, we anticipate that a small percentage of children will need to continue learning remotely due to verified medical needs. To ensure these students receive the high-quality education they deserve, CPS is launching a Virtual Academy to provide a central model of instruction.

To be eligible for the Virtual Academy, students must meet specific medical criteria that is documented by a healthcare provider.

The window to enroll in the CPS Virtual Academy (https://www.cps.edu/academics/virtual-academy) is June 18 - July 23. Families whose children meet the medical criteria for the Virtual Academy can provide the COVID-19 Health Eligibility Form to a licensed medical provider, who must submit the form via virtualenrollment@cps.edu, or fax it to (773) 553-6563, Attn: Virtual Enrollment.

All applications will be approved through the Office of Student Health & Wellness.
