Did you know?? Kindergarten students spend much of their time in computer class learning skills that will enable them to be prepared for future computer use. Learning to use a mouse, a keyboard, and even be able to navigate on a computer are things that are taught, not caught! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

ONE WEEK until our Book Fair! Our Book Fair runs from April 26th-30th. In person learners will be able to shop from the 26th-29th and our CVS students will be able to shop by appointment on the 30th! Due to COVID procedures, we cannot allow parents into the building to shop with their student during the book fair. Students can come with money to shop, and will have designated time each day to visit the fair. One of the best ways to shop is Scholastic's E-Wallet! This allows you to put a set amount of money on a "gift card" for your student to shop the fair. Any unused funds go back to you via the account used! Its a WIN-WIN! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

My name is Jamie Dillard and I am a para for kindergarten. I have been in education for 20 years, and all 20 years have been with CPS. I’m the proud mother to my daughter Azya, son-n-law Noah, son Quentin, son Malakai and son Kailib. I’m also the very proud Gigi to my granddaughter Kartyr. My kids and grand are my whole universe. I enjoy playing basketball or any other sport, going to the lake and being outdoors as much as possible! I love all of our Claremont family - especially our students. I have been blessed to work with such amazing staff all of these years. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
