CPS will be closed on Monday, September 4th, in honor of the Labor Day holiday. Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers.  It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894.  This weekend, as we spend time with our families and friends, celebrate the value of an honest day’s work, the people who built America, and our nation’s advancements because of the American labor force.  #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

‼ REMINDER - EARLY RELEASE = PLC MEETINGS FOR TEACHERS 📅 Begins August 25th Dismissal 🕑Elementary- 2:00p 🕝Secondary - 2:30p Early release for our kids means meeting time for our teachers. This time is excellent for lesson planning, district meetings, and sharing ideas with our teacher friends across the district. Professional learning communities (PLCs) are a collaborative approach to professional development. Small groups of educators meet regularly to explore new concepts, share expertise and insights from their teaching experiences, and engage in collective problem-solving. We are lucky we have this time and the technology to meet with teachers from all over the district to maximize our time together. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It's A Great Day To Be A Zebra! We are honored to partner with our families in the educational journey. We are excited to see you all flaunting your #CPSZEBRAPRIDE and sharing your precious first-day pictures. Let's make this academic year picture perfect! Share your photos in the comments on our District Facebook page.

Roosa parents: We are so excited to see you and your kiddos today at Meet the Teacher! When you are here for your meet the teacher appointment, you will also need to stop by the cafeteria to fill out important documentation. All kindergarten through fifth grade students will be receiving a device at school. Parents will need to fill out a Device Protection Plan for their students. We will have paper copies of those forms in the cafeteria today. You will also be able to pay your device protection fee as well. However, we are only accepting CASH and CHECK for payments for device protection fees as of now. You can fill out your check to Roosa Elementary. Device protection fees are as follows: Free Lunch Students -$5, Reduced Lunch students- $15, Full Pay students- $30. This fee will go up to $40 for ALL students after Labor Day. If your child qualified for free or reduced lunch last year, there is going to be a carryover period. However, you will need to reapply again this year to see if they continue to qualify for free or reduced lunch. We will also have those applications available in the cafeteria today as well. Can't wait to see all your kiddos today!!
