As more students are eligible for COVID vaccinations we encourage parents/guardians to provide completed vaccination cards for copying in our main office. In the case of a CPS issued quarantine, students who are vaccinated and are asymptomatic will be allowed to continue coming to school if we have the vaccination card on file. Additionally, in case of travel if a child is vaccinated that allows for the student to come to school rather than quarantining. Please click here for travel guidance. We kindly ask that a parent/guardian brings in the original vaccination card to the main office so we can make a clear copy for our records.
Covid Testing Program for Students
If you are interested in having your child participate in testing, please register here. Testing is administered on Fridays and is optional for students, except for unvaccinated and partially vaccinated student athletes in 5th-8th grade. If you would like to confirm that your child is registered, please contact the CPS COVID-19 Testing Team at covidtestingcps@cps.edu.
Chicago Department of Public Health
If you have a child aged 5-11, the Chicago Department of Public Health would like to ask you to please participate in a virtual focus group!
Qualified individuals who complete a full 90-minute online discussion session will earn $50. You just need access to the internet on a selected day in December via computer. Focus groups will be hosted in English and Spanish and will take place from 7:00pm-8:30pm the week of December 13.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts. If you would like to participate, click HERE and please share this with the other Chicago parents or guardians.
If you have questions about the research, please email healthychicago@cityofchicago.org.
