As we anticipated, Governor Pritzker announced the cessation of in-person learning for the remainder of this year. We still intend to postpone prom and graduation ceremonies until later in the summer. At Monday's board meeting we will propose a plan for an nontraditional graduation ceremony.
There will be an organized plan for parents to pick up students' personal belongings as well as to return Chromebooks and textbooks to school.
We will continue with remote/e-learning plans for the remainder of this year. The last packet will go out May 11. We do not have guidance as of today to how we calculate final grades for transcripts. We will keep you posted.
Anyone else feeling like this? This was actually me on Day 2! Teachers are amazing people!

ATTENDANCE: As a clarification to the information sent regarding student check in for attendance: Attendance is NOT MANDATORY at this time. We understand that every family does not have reliable internet access to be able to check in for attendance. For those that are able, checking in will be helpful to our teachers to know which students they need to reach out to in order to provide support and alternative assignments. Also, checking in will help us to know where improvements are needed as we move forward with E-Learning in the future.
