Good morning!  It has been wonderful welcoming students back into the building over the last week and having some of our 6-8th students back today.  We have had some individuals reach out about opting into in person learning for 4th quarter and wanted to make sure everyone saw this information sent out by the district.  Please read below for more information.

Have a great day,
Katie

-------------------------------------------------
Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) - Please see attached for a document with further details to access P-EBT.  (We previously sent out information in our newsletter.)   P-EBT is a food assistance benefit for students who get free or reduced-price meals in schools under the National School Lunch Program, but – because of the pandemic – the school is not providing meals to the students at school. P-EBT benefits will help Illinois families buy food during the COVID-19 pandemic. The attachment provides further details.


4th Quarter In Person Opt In - Beginning today, all CPS families, who have not yet returned to schools in-person, will be able to opt-in for a return later this year. The opt-in window will be available to students in all grades (grades Pre-K through 12) and will remain open for two weeks. Opt-in forms will be sent directly to parents, and this will be the final opportunity to choose in-person learning this school year. 
  • Opt-In for Students in Pre-K, Elementary, and Cluster Programs: As promised earlier this year, families who have not yet returned to classrooms will be able to return Monday , April 19 — the first day of the 4th-quarter. Families who are already enrolled in classroom-based learning will not need to fill out the intent form to remain in-person.

  • Opt-In for High School and Academic Center Students: For the first time, families in grades 9-12, as well as students in high school academic centers, will also be asked to decide if they want to return to classrooms this year. 
The district is actively meeting with the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) to establish a plan for the return of high school students and staff, and we will be engaging students and families in the days ahead. No return date has been set and the specific learning model used in high schools remains under discussion, but we hope students will be able to return to school as early as mid-April. We are asking families to tell us their learning preference now so that we can ensure we have the necessary staffing and classroom models in place to safely support all interested high school students.

Just like in our elementary schools, CPS high schools will follow a strict set of health and safety protocols, upon reopening, including required face-coverings and social distancing. Our high schools will also be provided with the air purifiers, hand sanitizer, and enhanced cleaning practices that have allowed CPS to safely reopen our elementary schools for in-person learning.

To give families additional opportunities to learn about our plans and provide input, we are scheduling two virtual parent townhalls — one for elementary and one for high school— in the next two weeks:
  • High School Town Hall: Wednesday, March 10, from 5-6:30 p.m. (Register HERE)
  • Elementary School Town Hall: Tuesday, March 16, from 5-6:30 p.m. (Register HERE)
We will also be engaging students in the weeks ahead to ensure their perspective is heard as our planning moves forward.

We look forward to seeing you at our town halls and thank you for your continued support as we work to provide all students with the high-quality education they deserve, no matter where they are learning.

Sincerely,

Janice K. Jackson, EdD          LaTanya D. McDade
