Principal's Message
It is hard to believe that we are already at the end of July! We have been extremely busy since the last day of school. During this month we hosted our Community School Initiative Summer Program at Boone School with the help our awesome resource coordinator, Debi Prince. Our $10 million roof and masonry project is well underway and Mr. Ng, Mr. Nanavati, and I have been attending various professional development workshops and are working diligently on preparing for the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year.
I hope you are enjoying the summer with your family and we look forward to seeing our students return to Clinton on September 4, 2018!
Sincerely,
Maureen Delgado
Principal
Clinton School Capital Improvement Project
I was extremely grateful that and excited to receive calls last winter from Alderman O'Connor and CPS Facilities informing me we would be receiving a well needed $10 million renovation to repair our building. Throughout the Winter and Spring I was involved in many meetings with the CPS design team as well as architects and engineers. The teachers packed up their rooms and on June 22, 2018 the work began.
Since then we have had our building overtaken with various construction crews and we are excited about the changes already taking place. Though this project will last until August 2020 and will be slightly inconvenient during the school year we are thankful to Dr. Janice Jackson, CPS Facilities, and Alderman O'Connor for making these necessary repairs to our wonderful school.
Clinton School Community School Initiative Summer Program 2018
Our resource coordinator, Debi Prince, worked diligently to enroll students and organized a fun learning experience for about 80 students. The program ran from June 25-July 19. Many of our own teachers taught classes that were inquiry based and hands on.
