Happy Sunday Garvy!
Community Alert
Again, I want to thank you for your patience and support as we navigated a community alert last week. It was imperative that I only shared verified information to ensure that I am not sharing rumors or conjecture. Thank you to all who were actively supportive and shared relevant information with me, Mr. Perez, and/or CPD.
We will resume regular procedures on Monday. All staff members will remain extra vigilant when we are outside. During recess, the Right at School coaches will remain outside throughout the transitions. Lastly, I have requested the continued presence of CPD at arrival and dismissal.
Sidewalk Conditions
The overall conditions of the sidewalks surrounding our school have deteriorated. The poor conditions have only been exacerbated by the water main break on April 1st. As a part of the LSC Facilities committee, Mr. Szymczak, a LSC Parent Representative, and I created the following proposal to request assistance from the 41st ward Alderman's office. This proposal was hand delivered to Alderman Napolitano's office last week. In addition, we have invited the Alderman to attend one of our last two LSC meeting to discuss. We await his response. As a community, I ask for your help in this endeavor. Our students and overall community deserve a clear pathway to and from school. If you have any ideas to help, please contact me. Here is the document that was shared with the Alderman: Garvy Sidewalk Proposal
CPS My Voice, My School
The 2024 My Voice, My School Parent/Guardian Survey is open through April 30, 2024 and can be accessed online at cps.edu/parentsurvey.
