Good afternoon! I hope everyone is doing well and having a great summer. Walking through the stores, it feels like school is already starting with all the back to school deals :) As a reminder, the first day of school for students is Monday, August 30. Please read below for a few updates. We will continue to send updates as we get closer to the beginning of the school year.
Have a great day,
Katie
Supply Lists - Please see this link for the supply lists for the upcoming school year. Click on your students' grade level to access the list.
Construction Projects - We have been limited in summer programs due to our construction projects that are happening. The projects include some exterior/interior painting, new roof, new circle drive and some masonry work. We are excited for students to come back to a refreshed building.
Health and Safety Updates for the 2021-22 School Year - Please see information shared by the district in regards to health and safety measures for the coming year at the following link: http://www.skinnernorth.org/latest-news/important-health-safety-updates-for-the-2021-22-school-year
In case you missed it:
Virtual Academy (Today is the last day of sign up) - Though a majority of students will return to school five days a week, we anticipate that a small subset of students will need to continue remote learning based on medical needs verified by a healthcare provider. To support these students, CPS is launching Virtual Academy: a central model of remote instruction. All instruction in the Virtual Academy will need to be in compliance with Illinois School Code 10-29. Students will be able to transition back into in-person learning (at the quarter mark for elementary, and at the semester mark for high school) based on changing situations. All students not enrolled in the Virtual Academy will attend in person learning next year.
Applications for Virtual Academy will be approved through the Office of Student Health & Wellness. The APPLICATION WINDOW opens June 18th and closes July 23rd.
APPLICATION PROCESS:
To learn about Virtual Academy and how to apply, please visit cps.edu/VirtualAcademy.
Before and After Care -
We are excited to share information for our new before and after school care provider. We are partnering with Right at School this year. They will provide daily before and after school, paid programming for students. (Programming starts on the first day of school Aug. 30. The website had an error. I believe it is now corrected.)
See their informational flier at this link.
