Students will remain in remote learning Thursday. Friday remains a non-attendance day for students.

CPS & CTU leadership made significant progress towards reopening schools in our discussions today. To ensure we have time to productively continue, in-person instruction will be delayed until Wed. 2/3, we must ask parents to continue keeping your children home.

We’ve made important steps forward with CTU. However, since union leadership hasn't shown urgency to reach a deal in time for students to return tomorrow, we must delay in-person instruction until Tues., 2/2 for Pre-k & cluster programs, grades K-8. Remote learning will continue.
