Better Attendance.

Better Students.

Better Life.

As the new school year approaches, it’s time to get students ready to go back to school. For parents, that means buying school supplies, purchasing uniforms, tracking down important dates and events, and filling out necessary forms.

Since we know how busy the back to school season is, we’ve compiled a list of important dates, events, forms, and general information, to get your child ready for school. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please visit the official campaign page at http://www.cps.edu/Pages/firstday.aspx or call the hotline at (773) 553-3CPS (3277).
