There are a number of excellent on-line opportunities that your child may partake in as the impasse between CTU and CPS continues. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me at: edtoledo@cps.edu 

I will continue posting information as it becomes available.

Thank you.

09/14/2012: It looks like an agreement may be close. But we will have to wait until Sunday to know for sure if school will be open. Click Here for Friday’s Letter.

CTU has informed CPS that its members will not be reporting to schools tomorrow. Thorp Scholastic Academy will be closed. For more information please visit the CPS Children First Site . CPS and CTU are still in negotiations. We will post information as we are able.
