Dear CPS Parents and Families,
As CPS parents, your voices count for so much, and you’ve helped us make schools throughout the city stronger. Today, I’m pleased to invite you to participate in a series of town hall meetings we’ll be holding this month to listen to your thoughts and priorities, as well as open new lines of communication about how Chicago Public Schools can best support you and your family. The past several years have brought tremendous progress for our students. I’m proud to say that CPS is earning national recognition – just recently, Stanford University said that our elementary students are learning six years’ worth of math and reading in just five years of instruction. We’ve also stabilized our budget after years of challenges. But I know we have a lot of work left to do, and parents will be vital to sustaining our progress. As a CPS parent myself, I want to hear directly from you about how we can work together to ensure that our schools are strong and vibrant learning communities. At each meeting, we will provide a brief overview of the state of our schools and reserve the majority of the time for you to speak with me and my leadership team. Representatives from various CPS departments will also be on hand to speak one-on-one with parents about how we can best support you and address any individual issues that you may have. Town halls will occur from 6-8 p.m. on the following dates:
Sincerely, Janice K. Jackson, EdD Chief Executive Officer Chicago Public Schools Estimados padres y familias de CPS, Como padres de CPS, sus voces son muy importantes, y nos han ayudado a fortalecer las escuelas de toda la ciudad. Hoy tengo el placer de invitarlos a participar en una serie de reuniones comunitarias que realizaremos este mes para escuchar sus opiniones y prioridades, así como abrir nuevas líneas de comunicación sobre cómo las Escuelas Públicas de Chicago pueden apoyarlos mejor, a ustedes y sus familias. Los años transcurridos han resultado en un progreso tremendo para nuestros estudiantes. Con mucho orgullo puedo decir que CPS está obteniendo reconocimiento nacional; recientemente, la Universidad Stanford declaró que nuestros alumnos de primaria aprenden las matemáticas y lectura de seis años en tan solo cinco años de instrucción. También hemos estabilizado nuestro presupuesto después de años de desafíos. Pero sé que todavía tenemos mucho que hacer, y que los padres serán vitales para sostener nuestro progreso. Yo también soy una madre de CPS, y deseo escuchar directamente de ustedes sobre cómo podemos trabajar juntos para estar seguros de que nuestras escuelas sean comunidades fuertes y vibrantes. En cada reunión vamos a ofrecer una visión general breve sobre el estado de nuestras escuelas y reservaremos la mayoría del tiempo para que hablen ustedes, conmigo y mi equipo de dirección. Representantes de varios departamentos de CPS también estarán disponibles para hablar con los padres sobre la forma de apoyarlos mejor y abordar los problemas individuales que puedan tener. Las reuniones se realizarán de 6 a 8 p.m. en las siguientes fechas:
Atentamente, Janice K. Jackson, EdD Directora Ejecutiva Escuelas Públicas de Chicago |
