Dear CPS Families,
Whether they are sitting in a classroom or at the kitchen table, all of our children have the absolute right to a rigorous, high-quality education. This is why CPS has created a school reopening plan that gives every family the flexibility to decide what is right for them. But regardless of where the learning is happening, we remain committed to supporting every student’s unique needs and we are excited to welcome back many of our students enrolled in pre-k and cluster programs on Monday. For families whose children are returning to school buildings—our top priority will always be keeping your students safe. We would not be reopening school buildings unless our public health officials believed it was safe to do so. We have been working with the Chicago Department of Public Health every step of the way, and we will continue following their guidance and recommendations as we work to maintain healthy learning environments for our returning students and staff. Our schools are staffed and ready for the return of students on Monday, and we look forward to seeing our children reunited with their teachers and friends. For families who have chosen to continue learning at home—your children will continue to receive high-quality instruction and stay connected with their teachers and classmates. We look forward to welcoming your children back to school when you feel that is the right decision for your family. Until then, if you have needs around technology or internet connectivity, please feel free to call our Parent Tech Support Hotline at 773-417-1060. We firmly believe that the best place for students is in the classroom, and have agonized over the struggle so many of our children have experienced during these months of remote learning. With the guidance of our public health officials, we are confident we can reopen schools in a safe and responsible manner for all students beginning with our most vulnerable. We look forward to welcoming tens of thousands of our students back to school in the coming weeks. Thank you for your continued patience and support through these unprecedented times. Sincerely, Janice K. Jackson, EdD LaTanya D. McDade Chief Executive Officer Chief Education Officer Chicago Public Schools Chicago Public Schools
