Wednesday-Thursday (June 3rd to 4th)
We will be following all COVID related guidelines and appreciate your patience and cooperation.
No students/children will be allowed in the building
.
Families will sign up for one slot, but we will work with you as we understand if you have multiple students.
Please email me now if you have extenuating circumstances that prevent you from coming into school on June 3 or June 4.
We will be having a virtual summer school for grades 1-8. Although not required, our teachers will be providing extra instruction and enrichment as well as test prep classes for rising 7th and 8th graders. There will be a fee to pay the teachers and classes will need to have a minimum number of students registered to have those classes. More details for this summer program registration to come in a separate email later this week.
Based on a directive from the Archdiocese of Chicago, we are unable to have any in-person summer school for grades PreKindergarten, Junior Kindergarten, and Kindergarten. For any new incoming Early Childhood students, we will have a small event in late July/early August. We will directly email those parents.
The Archdiocese of Chicago is developing a plan for our return in
the
fall. We are all hoping in-person learning will be included in this plan.
We have begun purchasing additional cleaning supplies and adding new safety procedures for all teachers, staff, and students when faced with any potential scenarios. We will also continue to improve our e-learning plans to provide student devices in grades 1-4, add student training/orientation for devices, and include additional professional development for teachers and staff. Together, these steps will enhance student learning overall and prepare our entire school to respond to foreseeable circumstances next school year.
We have created a reopening parent advisory board consisting of parents who are business leaders, doctors, police officers, and educational consultants. If you would like to participate in meetings with the board, please email me.
When in-person learning resumes, all teachers, staff, and students will need to follow all CDC guidelines. These guidelines include social distancing and wearing masks.
