Fax 773.535.2485Home of the CrusadersMr. George SzkapiakPrincipalMr. Josh MicleyAssistant PrincipalMrs. Rachel PeraltaAssistant PrincipalDear Kennedy Crusader Families:We would like to welcome you to the start of the School Year 2020-2021! As we prepare for the start of the school year with remote learning beginning on Tuesday, September 8th, we want to make sure that families have the information they need to start the school year. All students are expected to attend every class based on the regular bell schedule. We will begin classes at 7:30am on Tuesday with first period, and students will follow their scheduled classes by logging into the Google Classroom and entering their Google Meets link. Attendance will be taken daily.Accessing SchedulesEvery student has a CPS email and an ASPEN account. Students need to log-in to their ASPEN account and they will be able to see their schedules loaded into ASPEN. If you are having issues accessing your ASPEN account or email, please reach out to Mr. Gutierrez (sjgutierrez@cps.edu) Please make sure you change your CPS email password if it is asking you to change it. All communication will be through students’ CPS Google emails.Schedule ChangesSchedule changes will only happen if a student has taken the class and passed, but it is on their schedule again as a duplicate. It can also be changed if the student needs a class for graduation requirement and is missing that class (12th grade). We will not make changes based on teacher preferences and lunch period preferences. Students may have classes on there that were not initially chosen due to the initial class choice being dropped or full. We cannot make any adjustments based on class size limits. If there are other unique issues, please reach out to your counselor.Accessing Google ClassroomStudents and parents should check their emails daily regarding teacher communication and welcome letters to attend their classes. If you are not sure how to access Google Classrooms, short videos are available for students and families located on our website and by clicking this link.Attendance Teachers will take attendance daily through communication with students on Google Classroom and Google Meets. If students are having connectivity issues, please reach out to the teachers through their CPS emails. If the student will be absent, please fill out the Google Cause of Absence Form as soon as possible. If you need to provide further details, please email our Dean of Attendance, Mr. Hermanas (aehermanas@cps.edu). Please be on the lookout for upcoming emails from our Dean of Attendance.
