Ald. Osterman has sent out an email about the possibility of a teachers strike on Monday. Below is an abbreviated version as it pertains to Uptown students. We highly recommend reading this article from the Welles Park Bulldog with more details.
"Chicago Public Schools has developed a contingency plan with the goal of providing engaging activities and safe locations for students and families. CPS has designated "Children First Sites" that will be open to students.
Stockton Elementary (4425 N. Beacon) will be open for students from Goudy Elementary and McCutcheon Elementary
Important Information About These Sites
Each school will be open from 8:30am - 12:30pm
Breakfast and lunch will be provided
No yellow bus service will be provided
CPS is highly encouraging each student to register at cps.edu. To complete registration, you will need your student ID number, contact information and parent contact information. You can also register your student by calling 311.
We are also awaiting a final list from the Park District and the Chicago Public Library. Please be advised that CPS' recommendation is to send children to the Children First Sites, as they may be the best option for children.
We are working very hard to provide information to our families as quickly as possible. We will share all updates as we receive them. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact 48th Ward Education Liaison Karen Dreyfuss at Karen@48thward.org or 773-784-5277."
