KIPP Chicago will be ONLINE until Tuesday, November 10th
The first day of Remote School is August 24th. Our tentative on-site start date for students is Tuesday, November 10th. This means our entire first quarter of learning will take place remotely. We will continue to monitor this situation closely and will remain consistent in making decisions that center the health and safety of your children and their teachers.
KIPP Chicago Remote Learning Attendance Policy
KIPP Chicago will keep attendance each day in accordance with the State of Illinois instructional days requirement. Students will be marked present or absent everyday in each of their classes. Students who do not attend virtual class meetings scheduled for a given day and who do not complete course work assignments remotely will be marked absent for that day.
KIPP Chicago Grading Policy
KIPP Chicago will return to its normal grading practices in which grades will be based on participation in live Zoom class, completion of all work, and mastery of material. Therefore, unlike KIPP’s remote grading practices from the Spring, grades can go up or down. Families will be emailed a weekly progress report on Mondays with updated grades, attendance, and work completion feedback.
