Greetings Peirce Families,



On Friday, March 13th, Governor Pritzker declared that all Illinois Schools will be closed beginning Tuesday March 17th, re-opening on Tuesday, March 31st. There is a chance that schools will remain closed longer than March 31st, the situation will be re-assessed throughout the school closure time period.


Please note that the school closures this time around is different than the strike camp - students and family members will not be allowed in the school during the school closure time period.


Learning Opportunities
Our teachers are working hard to create a learning plan that will engage students during the time that schools are closed. They are in the process of creating a combination of online and hard copy activities that will be available at the end of the day on Monday. Please reach out to your students classroom teacher with any questions regarding those plans.


Please know that many, if not all of the activities will not be graded, but are intended to support students with learning during the time that school is not in session.


Teachers will also be checking in on students/families via email or by phone during the school closure time period.


Meals Available to Students
For those who will need meals over the next two weeks: free food boxes will be available and will contain three days of breakfast and lunches for every student in the household. All families will be able to pick up meals at their nearest CPS school beginning Tuesday, March 17, between 9 a.m and 1 p.m. daily. Lunchroom staff will prep, bag, and provide meals outside of the school building.


The district has been sending, and will continue to send, regular COVID-19 updates to parents with more specific guidance. If you have not received these letters, I ask that you please update your emergency contact information with Sally in the main office by emailing her at essuarezdeduran@cps.edu so we can ensure you receive accurate and timely information.


Administrators onsite
During the school closures, at least one administrator will be on site daily to help with any issues that families may be experiencing. Please know that you can reach out to any one of us if you or someone you know is experiencing some type of need.

EspanolSaludos a las familias de Peirce,


El viernes 13 de marzo, el gobernador Pritzker declaró que todas las escuelas de Illinois cerrarán a partir del martes 17 de marzo y volverán a abrir el martes 31 de marzo. Existe la posibilidad de que las escuelas permanezcan cerradas por más tiempo que el 31 de marzo, la situación se volverá a evaluar durante todo el período de cierre de la escuela.


Tenga en cuenta que el cierre de la escuela esta vez es diferente al campamento de huelga: los estudiantes y los miembros de la familia no podrán ingresar a la escuela durante el período de cierre de la escuela.


Oportunidades para aprender
Nuestros maestros están trabajando arduamente para crear un plan de aprendizaje que involucre a los estudiantes durante el tiempo que las escuelas estén cerradas. Están en el proceso de crear una combinación de actividades en línea y en papel que estarán disponibles al final del día el lunes. Comuníquese con el maestro del salón de clases de su estudiante si tiene alguna pregunta sobre esos planes.


Tenga en cuenta que muchas, si no todas las actividades no serán calificadas, pero están destinadas a apoyar a los estudiantes con el aprendizaje durante el tiempo que la escuela no está en sesión.


Los maestros también controlarán a los estudiantes / familias por correo electrónico o por teléfono durante el período de cierre de la escuela.


Comidas Disponibles para Estudiantes
Para aquellos que necesitarán comidas durante las próximas dos semanas: habrá cajas de comida gratis que contendrán tres días de desayuno y almuerzo para cada estudiante en el hogar. Todas las familias podrán recoger comidas en su escuela CPS más cercana a partir del martes 17 de marzo, de 9 a.m. a 1 p.m. diario. El personal del comedor preparará, empacará y proporcionará comidas fuera del edificio escolar.


El distrito ha estado enviando y continuará enviando actualizaciones regulares de COVID-19 a los padres con una orientación más específica. Si no ha recibido estas cartas, le pido que actualice su información de contacto de emergencia con Sally en la oficina principal enviándola por correo electrónico a essuarezdeduran@cps.edu para que podamos asegurarnos de que reciba información precisa y oportuna.


Administradores en el sitio
Durante el cierre de la escuela, al menos un administrador estará en el sitio diariamente para ayudar con cualquier problema que las familias puedan estar experimentando. Tenga en cuenta que puede comunicarse con cualquiera de nosotros si usted o alguien que conoce tiene algún tipo de necesidad.
