2024-2025 School Year Calendar

ENGLISH | SPANISH

We are so excited to welcome our new families to Jungman STEM Magnet! If you are coming to Jungman for the first time this school year, please email our Clerk Ms Jessica at jmoreno83@cps.edu to schedule a time for registration. When you come to register please bring the following:

Registration Documentation

• Proof of Child's Age (1 document)
  
• Birth Certificate OR Passport
• Proof of Current Address (2 documents)
  
• Current State ID or Current Driver's License
• Current Utility Bill
  
• Health/Physical Exam Requirements:
  
• Children are encouraged to submit their required immunizations and physicals prior to the start of the school year and no later than October 15 of the current school year

We look forward to meeting you!

The State of Illinois sets the policy on the requirements for Medical Compliance. Our school's goal is to have EVERY student medically compliant by October 7th! Beginning October 15th, students NOT compliant will not be allowed to return to school until they are compliant.

This resource (ENGLISH | SPANISH) will help families understand and discuss with their medical provider the requirements that are needed at each grade level. Below are flyers to support our families in finding clinics that can provide the necessary physicals and vaccinations.

This year’s Optional After-care program can no longer be sustained with funding from our school. We will implement a paid program model to cover the salary for supervising staff and supplies for the program. The goal of this program remains the same, and that is to provide an opportunity for our working parents to have reasonable access to child care here at school. Students enrolled in this program will have to be able to work independently and need minimal additional supervision.

We are providing this for informational purposes only. We will be sending a form in August to begin signing up.

Program Logistics:

• Students will be “podded” based on their grade level and have time for homework and fun.

• 2:45-3:00: Students will have an after-school snack/meal.

• 3:00-3:45: Students will do their homework, read, use online ed tech programs, etc.

• 4:00-5:00: Students will participate in 2 stations. These rotations will include going to the gym, going outside, doing STEM challenges, doing art projects, etc.

• Special Note: When we have our OST Programs, students who are in those programs AND participating in After Care will first do their OST program THEN they will join After Care at 4:00.

• Dismissal: This year, our hours will be from 2:45-5:00pm. Dismissal for this program will begin at 4:45 with students exiting the gym doors. Parents must be on time for pick-ups. Fees will be assessed every 10 minutes you are late. Consistent late pick-ups will result in your child losing the opportunity to stay in the program.

• After-care Payments: We are working on the ability to make online payments through a credit/debit card directly to Jungman. We will also accept cash and issue receipts to parents.

• Full payment for the After Care program is due at the midpoint of each quarter.

• If you pay in full by the first day of the quarter, you receive a discount.

• There are no additional pro-rates for people needing a limited number of days

• An additional fee of 5.00 per 10 minutes for students picked up after 5:00.

• Family Max fee: 3rd Sibling + no charge (family defined as siblings having 1 same guardian)

• When Jungman offers after-school programming for enrichment (i.e., Cooking Class, Robotics, etc.) or after-school academic programs, students who participate in this Optional After-Care program will pay a reduced rate.

Please find our supply list and dress code HERE! This contains every grade and each classroom. If you have any questions, please reach out to the office! Especially this year, we want to encourage our families to purchase all supplies including HEADPHONES! You can bring bulky supplies that don't fit in bookbags during our Back to School Event on Thursday, August 22.

Aug 22: Back to School Pop-in from 12:30pm - 2:30pm! Please bring in any bulky supplies that don't fit in your child's bag on this day! Please bring cash on this day. One of our Jungman families will be making tacos which can be purchased during the back to school event.
