Greetings Parents/Guardians,
First, I want to begin by stating that I hope everyone is safe at this time. Due to the recent acts of civil unrest in our neighborhoods, CPS decided to suspend the distribution of all lunches for today to ensure everyone's safety. Therefore, our school building is closed, so there will be no one present in the main office to answer any phone calls or the doorbell throughout the day today. CPS will provide us with an update in regard to the plan for the rest of this week. Please be aware that we are still conducting remote learning instruction throughout this day. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at kjnelson1@cps.edu.
Here are reminders/updates for this week:
Student Item Retrieval
If your son or daughter has any personal items that need to be picked up from the school, you are asked to visit Door #1 between the hours of 8:00-3:00 p.m. next week for this purpose. If you have any textbooks, novels, or school property in your home, we are asking that you drop these items off at the school next week as well. This does not include the devices that were provided to support your child's remote learning.
8th-Grade Item Distribution and Virtual Graduation
We will be distributing all of our items to our 8th-grade graduates on Friday, June 12th. A schedule and the guidelines for the distribution process will be provided to our 8th-grade students and families at the end of this week. Additionally, we will be holding our virtual 8th-grade graduation ceremony on Wednesday, June 17th, at 12:00 p.m. We are so excited and proud of our 8th-grade graduates, and we look forward to this recognition of them!
8th-Grade Trip Reimbursements
All reimbursements for the Springfield Trip and Camp Edwards Trip will be provided by CPS. Although these refunds will be mailed to the homes, we have not received a date as to when the reimbursements will be mailed. When we receive this information, it will be shared with all.
Again, I want everyone to remain safe during this time. Please take care of yourself, your loved ones, and our community. Again, please contact me at kjnelson1@cps.edu if you have questions or need support.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kimberly Nelson, Principal

Saludos Padres / Guardianes,
Primero, quiero comenzar declarando que espero que todos estén a salvo en este momento. Debido a los recientes actos de disturbios civiles en nuestros vecindarios, CPS decidió suspender la distribución de todos los almuerzos por hoy para garantizar la seguridad de todos. Por lo tanto, el edificio de nuestra escuela está cerrado y no habrá nadie presente en la oficina principal para responder las llamadas telefónicas o el timbre durante todo el día de hoy. CPS nos proporcionará una actualización con respecto al plan para el resto de esta semana. Tenga en cuenta que todavía estamos impartiendo instrucción de aprendizaje remoto durante todo este día. Si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud, no dude en enviarme un correo electrónico a kjnelson1@cps.edu.
Aquí hay recordatorios / actualizaciones para esta semana:
Recuperación de artículos de estudiantes
Si su hijo o hija tiene algún artículo personal que necesita ser recogido de la escuela, se le pide que visite la Puerta # 1 entre las 8: 00-3: 00 p.m. la semana que viene para este fin. Si tiene libros de texto, novelas o propiedad escolar en su hogar, le pedimos que también deje estos artículos en la escuela la próxima semana. Esto no incluye los dispositivos que se proporcionaron para apoyar el aprendizaje remoto de su hijo.
Distribución de artículos de octavo grado y graduación virtual
Distribuiremos todos nuestros artículos a nuestros graduados de octavo grado el viernes 12 de junio. A fines de esta semana, se proporcionará los detalles del proceso de distribución a nuestros estudiantes y familias de octavo grado. Además, realizaremos nuestra ceremonia virtual de graduación de octavo grado el miércoles 17 de junio a las 12:00 p.m. Estamos muy emocionados y orgullosos de nuestros graduados de octavo grado y esperamos este reconocimiento de ellos!
Reembolsos de viaje de octavo grado
CPS proporcionará todos los reembolsos para el viaje de Springfield y el viaje de Camp Edwards. Aunque estos reembolsos se enviarán por correo a los hogares, no hemos recibido una fecha en la que se envíen los reembolsos. Cuando recibamos esta información, se compartirá con todos.
Nuevamente, quiero que todos se mantengan seguros durante este tiempo. Cuídate a ti mismo, a tus seres queridos y a nuestra comunidad. Nuevamente, comuníquese conmigo a kjnelson1@cps.edu si tiene preguntas o necesita ayuda.
Sinceramente,
Dra. Kimberly Nelson, Directora
