 Weekly Parent Communication  

April 11, 2021
Greetings Parents/Guardians, 

Our quote this week is from Muhammed Ali.  “If my mind can conceive it and my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it.”  

We are excited to welcome our next wave of students back to in-person learning on Monday, April 19th.  If your child is returning to school, please be sure that he or she reports to school each assigned day with all required school supplies.  Our in-person learners must also bring their device and charger to and from school each day that they are scheduled to report.      

If any student is interested in using 30 of their Purple Pride Swipes for a Purple Pride Gift Bag, they must let their homeroom teacher know by Thursday, April 15th.  Parents will then be invited to pick up these bags during the week of April 26th.  

We have one shout out for this week:  
We give a shout out to our Reopening Support Staff including Ms. Campos, Mr. Casillas, Mr. Estrada, and Ms. Juarez who provide coverage for classes and provide academic support to our students throughout the week.   

There will be a Virtual PTA Meeting on Thursday, April 15th, at 1:30 p.m.  All are invited to attend.  

Friday, April 16th, is a Teacher Institute Day, so there will be no school for our students.  All third quarter grades must be posted on this day by 4:00 p.m.  Parent/Teacher Conferences will then take place on Wednesday, April 21st.  Please be aware that your child’s homeroom teacher will be arranging a time to meet with you on that day.  

Lastly, thank you to all of our parents and students who are adhering to our Safety Protocols in the school including wearing your mask at all times in the school building.  To ensure the safety of all people in our community, please be sure to also wear your mask properly when outside but on school grounds as well.    

If you have any questions or concerns this week, please do not hesitate to call our Main Office at 773-535-6540, or you can email me at kjnelson1@cps.edu.  

Have a wonderful week!  

Sincerely, 

Dr. Kimberly Nelson, Principal

Saludos Padres / Tutores,
Nuestra cita de esta semana es de Muhammed Ali. "Si mi mente puede concebirlo y mi corazón puede creerlo, entonces puedo lograrlo".
Estamos emocionados de dar la bienvenida a nuestra próxima ola de estudiantes al aprendizaje en persona el lunes 19 de abril. Si su hijo regresara a la escuela, asegúrese de que se presente en la escuela cada día asignado con todos los útiles escolares necesarios. Nuestros estudiantes en persona también deben traer su dispositivo y cargador a  la escuela todos los días que estén programados para reportarse.
Si algún estudiante está interesado en usar 30 de sus Purple Pride Swipes para una bolsa de regalo Purple Pride, debe informar a su maestro de salón antes del jueves 15 de abril. Luego se invitará a los padres a recoger estas bolsas durante la semana del 26 de abril.
Tenemos un reconocimiento para esta semana:
Damos un reconocimiento a nuestro personal de apoyo a la reapertura, incluidos la Sra. Campos, el Sr. Casillas, el Sr. Estrada y la Sra. Juárez, quienes brindan cobertura para las clases y brindan apoyo académico a nuestros estudiantes durante toda la semana.
Habrá una reunión virtual de la PTA el jueves 15 de abril a la 1:30 p.m. Todos están invitados a asistir.
El viernes 16 de abril es el Día del Instituto de Maestros, por lo que no habrá clases para nuestros estudiantes. Todas las calificaciones del tercer trimestre deben publicarse ese día antes de las 4:00 p.m. Las conferencias de padres y maestros se llevarán a cabo el miércoles 21 de abril. Tenga en cuenta que el maestro de aula de su hijo concertará una cita para reunirse con usted ese día.
Por último, gracias a todos nuestros padres y estudiantes que se adhieren a nuestros Protocolos de Seguridad en la escuela, incluido el uso de su máscara en todo momento en el edificio de la escuela. Para garantizar la seguridad de todas las personas en nuestra comunidad, asegúrese de usar también su máscara correctamente cuando esté afuera, pero también en los alrededores de la escuela.
Si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud esta semana, no dude en llamar a nuestra oficina principal al 773-535-6540, o puede enviarme un correo electrónico a kjnelson1@cps.edu.
¡Ten una maravillosa semana!
Atentamente,
Dra. Kimberly Nelson, Directora
