Welcome Back, Westside Zebras! We hope you had a great spring break and relaxed with loved ones. Here's to the rest of the school year!
As we prepare to return to school on Monday, March 25th, we want to remind you that CPS will be closed for an extended holiday weekend on Friday, March 29th.
This is no April Fool's joke; school will hop right back into session on April 1st, ready to finish the school year strong.
