Summer school notices have gone out for Chicago 3rd, 6th and 8th graders whose test scores on the SAT 10 portion of the ISAT were below the promotion standard, or if the student has a report card grade below a "C" in reading or math, or more than 9 days of unexcused absences.  

Please call (312-491-9101) or e-mail us if you need help or if you know of anyone whose child is affected this year. We are preparing some new legal strategies to challenge the CPS elementary promotion policy and would like to include more families. 

We have prepared some tip sheets for parents of summer-school bound students.  

The tip sheets cover what to do if your child is not promoted, how to help your child move up to the next grade after summer school, and ideas for student portfolios which you can create as evidence to back up a waiver request if CPS decides to hold your child back after summer school.
