Get Ready for the Suder Fest! |

We are so happy that the Suder Fest will take place on the last day of school, June 22, 2021. This event will be open to remote students also. The Suder Fest is a carnival where our school community comes together to celebrate the school year. There will be food, fun games, and a dunk tank! Rumor has it that students will be able to dunk Principal Bada! How cool is that?!
Students will rotate through the Suder Fest based on the schedule below. We are asking that all students that will be participating in this event to complete the Suder Fest RSVP Form by Wednesday, June 16, 2021.

Remote Students AND Students Who Are Not Assigned to the Tuesday Pod
If your child is remote or if your child is not assigned the Tuesday pod, please drop your student off at Suder Montessori at the start time for his or her grade-level above and pick your student up at the end time for his or her grade-level listed above. Be sure to complete the CPS Health Screener prior to dropping your student off and your student must wear a mask.
Parents can drop students off and pick students up on the Suder playground. Please know that this is a student-only event so we are asking parents to leave the premises once students are received by staff.

Students Who Assigned the Tuesday Pod Day
If your child is hybrid and is assigned the Tuesday pod day, there is nothing different that you need to do. Please complete your normal routine and drop your student off at 9am and pick your student up at 4pm. As always, be sure to complete the CPS Health Screener before drop-off at 9am.

COVID-19 Testing at Suder Montessori |
|
COVID-19 testing is an important part of the district’s response to the pandemic. In addition to continuing to test staff for COVID-19, we are expanding our testing program to students. Suder has been selected to participate in COVID-19 student testing during the month of June.
Which students are tested?
Each week, 25 percent of students at each eligible school will be randomly selected for testing. Students must be at least 10 years old and have their parent or guardian consent prior to being tested. Students who are 18 years old or older may consent on their own to being tested. Parents or guardians of students who are 18 years old or older and do not have the capacity to consent may consent on their behalf.
How is consent obtained?
Parents and guardians will be notified this week if their student is eligible for screening testing this month. For schools who will be testing in June for the first time, parents will be sent a link to the digital consent form. You may also complete the paper consent forms with students as early as today. The form is linked below.
