Good afternoon,
We just wanted to take a moment to give thanks and show gratitude to our school community. From our hardworking teachers, to inquisitive students, to our supportive families, we are so grateful to you all. We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving week!
Remember Parent Teacher Conferences are on Monday (11/21). Teachers sent out sign up information. Please reach out if there are any issues.
The week of 11/21 is a non-attendance week for students.
Have a great day,
Katie

Student Directory Information - Under certain circumstances, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) may release a student’s directory information unless the student’s parent/guardian has advised the District that they do not want this information shared (i.e., to opt out). Directory information includes information such as a student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and academic awards, dates of attendance and information concerning school-sponsored activities, organizations, and athletics. Directory information is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Illinois School Student Records (ISSRA), and Chicago Board of Education Policy 706.3 Parent and Student Rights of Access to and Confidentiality of Student Records require that CPS obtain the written consent of the parent/guardian or student (if they are over 18 years old) before disclosing personally identifiable information from student education records, with certain exceptions. CPS may disclose “directory information” without written consent, unless parents/guardians or students who are over 18 years old have advised the District that they do not want the information shared (i.e., to opt out). Prior to releasing the information, CPS must notify parents/guardians and students of their right to block the release of their contact information (i.e., to opt out).
Parents/guardians and students who are over 18 years old should use the Directory and Recruiter Information Opt-Out Form if they would like to opt out of the distribution of their student’s directory information. (This was also sent in the back to school packets at the beginning of the year.)
