Teacher for a Day: On Tuesday, May 6th, the 2nd Annual
Teacher for a Day event will take place. Teacher for a
Day is joint venture between the Chicago Public Schools
and the Chicago Teachers Union to give business and community
members an opportunity to gain a better understanding
of and deeper appreciation for the work Chicago Public
Schools’ teachers provide each school day. Teachers
interested in participating in this event are encouraged
to see Mrs. Fox-Crump for an application ASAP. All applications
must be placed in the mail run no later than Wednesday
of this week.

April 17 is report-card pickup day for elementary school
students.
We
strongly encourage parents and guardians to stop by their
children’s schools and talk to their teachers. In
addition, there are a few other events surrounding report-card
pickup that we’d like you to be aware of.
Elections
for Local School Council representatives will be held
in high schools on the 16th and in elementary schools
on the 17th. For all schools, we’re also encouraging
parents to fill out a survey about their involvement and
satisfaction with the school. Results will be available
at the fall report-card pickup.
Parents
of all eighth-graders can sign up for Freshman Connection,
an academic and recreational program, at no cost to students,
held at the students’ destination high schools.
Parents
and guardians: there’s a lot going on in our schools.
We’d love to have you stop by, take a look and get
involved.
Our
Morning Mantra!!!
