Chicago Public Schools (CPS) released a revised calendar for School Year 2014-2015 (SY 14-15), which includes rescheduled student attendance days to make up for the cancellations last month on February 2nd and 19th. In order to ensure that students do not miss any instruction days, class will be in session on Thursday, June 18th, which was scheduled to be the first day of students’ summer break, and Friday, June 19th.
Students’ summer break will begin after classes on Friday, June 19th. This update to the academic calendar will not disrupt graduation schedules or the start of summer school. CPS has rescheduled professional development dates to ensure teachers do not miss out on these valuable opportunities. June 22nd will now be a principal-directed professional development day; June 23rd will be a teacher-directed professional development day; and June 24th will be a principal-directed flex professional development day.
