Dear PCA Families:
I hope this message finds you and your families safe and well. Today, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced that remote learning in Illinois will be extended through the end of the 2019-2020 school year. Although in-person learning has been suspended for the remainder of the year, I assure you our entire staff remains committed to learning and engaging with all students through remote learning.
Like you, we are deeply saddened by the reality that our school community will not be able to reconvene in person this school year due to this public health crisis. These past few weeks have proven our school community is more resilient, more capable and more compassionate than maybe what we may have realized.
I’m confident our collective strength will shine through during the remainder of the school year, and we will emerge even stronger. As this announcement about the end of the school year was just made by Governor Pritzker this afternoon, it will take us some time to sort out schedule details including picking-up personal items as well as graduation.
Please be patient as we work as a team to get information to you in the next few weeks.
I know this is not the school year that any of us imagined, but I want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we have dealt with this unprecedented situation together. This period of Remote Learning offers us new ways to learn and grow, and out of this Pandemic, we will emerge stronger.
It’s important we continue to work together and support our students. I can’t thank you enough for all that you are doing as we all work together through this.
Kali Anastasi,
Dina Jason
