Letters from the Principal

October 9th, 2020

10/9/2020

 
Dear Parent/Guardian, 
​

Progress Reports were submitted electronically to downtown for printing and  mailing. They should get to your house by next Friday if CPS is able to keep to  their timeline. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that that is the case. If you fail to  receive a Progress Report please let the school know on Monday, October19. 
We have distributed almost all of our devices at this point. We are asking that you  use the devices received from us for academic purposes only. Please do not use  them for gaming or watching videos. We do not have many left to replace them if  they break so we need to be careful with what we have. Thank you for your  cooperation in this matter. 

Once again, I would like to thank everyone for staying positive and cooperating  with each other. The only way we can be successful is by working with one  another to overcome all the obstacles that pop up in this remote learning  environment. I know it can be frustrating at times but everyone is doing his or her  best. Together, we will be successful. 

Thank you to everyone who has submitted lunch forms, health, and emergency  forms. If you have not done them yet, please come to the school to pick up a  booklet with all the forms that are needed and turn them in as soon as possible. 

There is no school on this Monday, October 12, 2020 in observance of the  Indigenous Peoples holiday. I hope you are able to enjoy the good weather and  spend time outside before the winter weather descends on Chicago. During this  stressful time, a walk in the outdoors can help clear your mind and refresh your  outlook. Have a great three-day weekend. 

Sincerely,
 

Daniel J. Redmond 
Principal

​Estimado Padre o Tutor, 


Los informes de progreso se enviaron electrónicamente a las Oficinas Centrales.  Si CPS puede llevar a cabo su cronograma, le llegaran por correo a su casa para el  próximo viernes. Crucemos los dedos para que así sea. Si no recibe uno, avise a  la escuela el lunes 19 de octubre. 


Hasta ahora, hemos distribuido casi todos nuestros dispositivos. Le pedimos que  los utilicen únicamente con fines académicos. No los usen para jugar o ver videos.  No nos quedan muchos para reemplazarlos si se descomponen, por lo que tenemos  que cuidar los que tenemos. Gracias por su ayuda. 


Una vez más, me gustaría agradecer a todos por mantenerse positivos y cooperar  entre sí. La única forma en que podemos tener éxito es trabajando juntos para  superar todos los obstáculos que surgen en este entorno de aprendizaje remoto. Sé  que a veces puede ser frustrante, pero todos están haciendo lo mejor posible.  Juntos lo podemos lograr. 


Gracias a todos los que han sometido sus formularios del almuerzo y formularios  de emergencia y salud. Si aún no los han hecho, por favor pasen a la escuela a  recoger un libro con todos los formularios que se necesitan y así entregarlos lo  antes posible. 


No hay clases este lunes, 12 de octubre, en observación del feriado de los Pueblos Indígenas. Espero que puedan disfrutar del buen clima y pasar tiempo afuera antes de que nos llegue el clima invernal de Chicago. Durante este tiempo estresante,  una caminata al aire libre puede ayudar a despejar su mente y refrescar su  perspectiva. Que pasen un gran fin de semana de tres días. 


Atentamente, 


Daniel J. Redmond 

Director
