Solar Eclipse
On Monday, we will have an opportunity to view a solar eclipse, where the sun will be nearly entirely covered by the moon. Garvy students and staff will view the eclipse on the turf at 2pm. All students and staff who are outside for the event, will be provided ISO approved glasses that must be worn at all times. Students who are not participating in the outdoor viewing, will witness the eclipse in the MPR via the NASA website.

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. This annual survey is an excellent opportunity to give us your feedback on where your school is succeeding and where there is room for improvement. The survey is completely anonymous, available in several languages, and takes about 5–10 minutes to complete. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
Garvy Misconduct Response
At Garvy School, our utmost priority is to maintain a safe and conducive learning environment for every student. To address inappropriate behavior effectively, our school administrators adhere to the CPS Student Rights and Responsibilities alongside the CPS Guidelines for Effective Discipline. The document, linked here, serves as a guide for students, parents, and staff, to better understand our disciplinary approach for serious or repeated offenses.
