Staying Safe Within the Community
CPS has created this guidance document with tips on staying safe as famlies travel to-and-from school and around the community. This resource also includes a review of everyone’s Constitutional rights, information and resources for immigrant families from community organizations, and details on Know Your Rights seminars. Finally, it includes information about Family Preparedness Workshops that are being hosted by the City of Chicago’s Office of Immigrant, Migrant, and Refugee Rights (IMRR) every Thursday evening in September. Details on these workshops, along with additional guidance and resources, are available on the IMMR website at chicago.gov/imrr.
