A third-grade class at Edwards Elementary was treated to a Jurassic Park adventure of their own after visiting the University of Chicago’s Fossil Lab.

Our top priority as a school district is keeping students safe and healthy, whether they are in class or away from school. As part of our commitment to promoting the wellbeing of our students, we are pleased to once again offer Safe Haven opportunities during Spring Break 2019

This spring break, nine students from Lindblom Math and Science Academy’s Arabic World Language program will say goodbye to American soil and travel to Morocco.

Our graduation and Freshman OnTrack rates are at an all-time high, and more CPS students than ever are enrolling in college, with nearly half of them earning college and career credentials before they even finish high school. We’ve also brought our families and school communities into the academic investment process and have expanded high-quality academic programs such as STEM, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, dual credit, and dual enrollment opportunities. As CPS graduates and lifelong educators who have spent our lives serving Chicago students, we are incredibly proud of the historic academic progress that has taken root in our district. Through a rigorous, data-informed goal-setting process and individualized success metrics tailored for each school community, the Vision will offer schools a clear roadmap to success while helping the district meet our collective goals by 2024.
