Book Your Vaccination

CPS Vaccination Program
All CPS staff are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine through their healthcare provider, pharmacy, and public vaccination sites. CPS vaccination centers will prioritize staff vaccinations beginning in February 2021.
Pediatric COVID-19 Testing Sites
We are identifying pediatric COVID-19 testing sites in the Chicago area to help families and schools connect symptomatic students to health services.
Safe & Clean Learning Environment
During a global pandemic, risk exists for any public gathering. However, to mitigate these risks, the district has developed a comprehensive plan that includes health and safety policies and procedures aligned to local, state, and federal guidance.
Tracking COVID-19
CPS is sharing data about actionable COVID-19 cases to keep the public informed about how the pandemic is affecting the district and its community. Case counts represent the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases associated with CPS buildings. Case counts are not a measure of transmission in schools and numerous studies have shown that schools are not sites of significant COVID-19 transmission.
COVID-19 & Readiness Data
CPS is tracking and posting information on COVID-19 cases, surveillance testing, and metrics on school readiness to provide public transparency into our monitoring efforts during the pandemic.
