Understanding In-Person Learning Models

As part of our reopening plan, students who chose to return to school will learn in-person through a hybrid learning model. K-8 students will split time learning at home and at school. This allows schools to limit class sizes and ensure students and staff can practice social distancing. The model a student gets assigned to depends on the number of students who opt-in for in-person learning and staffing flexibility at their school:

Protocols for In-person Extracurricular Programs

Vendors may provide in-person programming if they follow the appropriate protocols. If your organization would like to provide in-person programming, please reach out to your school principal or sponsoring central office department contact. If your principal or contact agrees that your organization should be considered for in-person programs, you must submit an on-site services application.

Note that, in order to provide services, vendors must:

• Have an active vendor number
• An active partnership, documented through an open PO, Services Agreement, or grant award letter
• All staff serving students must have a current CPS background check on file for your organization
