Hello Eagles,

Each year, our Local School Council (LSC) conducts a Principal Evaluation, and your input is an important part of this process. We kindly ask you to take a few minutes to complete this survey and share your feedback.

Your insights will help the LSC in their evaluation and ensure we continue to support our school’s leadership effectively.

Thank you for your time and participation!

Now that the new presidential administration is in place, I know that fear and anxiety are running high among many in our school community, especially our immigrant families. Our school is here to support you, and to provide the resources and reassurance to hopefully ease your concerns.

As a reminder, CPS is a District that has strong protections already on the books for our students and staff; you can read about them here. These protections were reaffirmed in a Board of Education resolution in November of 2024.

As a reminder, current federal law protects children’s rights to a free public education, regardless of their immigration status or their family’s immigration status. Current federal policy also places restrictions on the conduct of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as it relates to schools. Schools are partially public buildings that are considered “sensitive locations,” where ICE is currently restricted from carrying out enforcement actions, with some exceptions.

Our school is filled with caring adults who will go above and beyond every day, not just to educate our students, but to care for and protect them. That’s why the best, safest place for your children is at school.

Please be sure your emergency contact information is up-to-date and on file at school. And please visit cps.edu/newadminguidance for information and resources pertaining to immigration, and to other groups that may be targeted by the new administration. Below are are helpful tools. We are here to support you if you have any questions or concerns!

• CPS's is providing our school communities with a new webpage, cps.edu/NewAdminGuidance, that has up-to-date information.
• There are also updated resources from the City of Chicago to support our families with legal services and hotlines, emergency family planning, healthcare options among other things. The guides can be found in English, Spanish, and French.

Know Your Rights
CPS is sharing this resource from the National Immigrant Justice Center with critical information that can help students and families protect themselves and defend their rights. We encourage you to share this information with others who may be impacted.

Trainings/Workshops

• Enlace Chicago will be hosting weekly Know Your Rights workshops through the CPS Network 7 Pilsen/Little Village Parent University located at Perez Elementary at 2001 S Throop St. For more information and registration, please contact 773-379-5669. These sessions will be in Spanish.

• Family Visa Petitions (I-130)
