Overview
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) publishes an electronic newsletter each week for its staff, parents and community members as a way to share information about the important initiatives and efforts CPS is undertaking to fulfill its mission of ensuring every child in every community has access to a high quality education. The newsletter is also a forum through which we can celebrate successes at schools throughout the District and the outstanding work our teachers and students are doing in the classroom.
