CLOUSTON'S CORNER
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) continues to work in partnership with the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) and make decisions that are in the best interest of the entire CPS community. CPS schools will be closed beginning Tuesday, March 17, 2020 to March 30, 2020, or until further notice. Richardson Middle School will keep you informed as to when school will reopen by making a Robocall and keeping our website updated.
Richardson Middle School and all CPS school sites will serve as food distribution sites for CPS students. Food pick-up will take place outside of the school building and begins at every school on Tuesday, March 17 and is scheduled from 9 a.m.–1 p.m. Monday through Friday. CPS families can pick-up three days worth of meals at a time, each with two meals per child. No one will be allowed inside the building for any reason.
CPS is committed to supporting student learning and academic engagement during this time. I’m writing to let you know that Richardson Middle School has contingency learning plans in place so students can stay engaged academically.
During the closure of schools, students who are able to access the Internet can log into the digital platforms that their teachers have assigned them work to complete such as Edgenuity, where they can work on Reading and Math activities. Students should also be reading their independent reading text and completing their Reading Logs. Completion of these new learning activities will be counted as enrichment to ensure that our students do not regress academically during the time that school is closed. Please visit our school website at http://richardson.cps.edu/ to access the websites that teachers have assigned students to work on. This is also a great time for students to make up any work that was previously assigned that was not turned in to the teacher. Students can reach out to their teachers with questions about their work using their cps email.
The district has been sending, and will continue to send, regular COVID-19 updates to parents and guardians with more specific guidance. Please listen to local news stations for updates on school closings and other information.
For the most reliable information about COVID-19, please visit:
Sincerely,
Mrs. M. Clouston

Estimados Padres/ Guardianes:
Las Escuelas Publicas de Chicago (CPS) continua trabajando en conjunto con el departamento de salud (CDPH) en monitoriar el coronavirus (COVID-19) y en tomar deciciones en el mejor interes de la comunidad de CPS. Las escuelas de CPS estaran cerradas comenzando el martes 17 de marzo del 2020 hasta el 30 de marzo del 2020, o hasta nuevo aviso. La escuela Richardson los mantendra informados en cuanto la escuela vuelva abrir por medio llamadas automaticas y por medio de nuestra pagina web.
La escuela Richardson y todas las escuelas publicas serviran como sitios de distribucion de comida para los estudiantes de CPS. La entrega de comida tomara lugar afuera de la escuela empezando el martes 17 de marzo con horario de 9am – 1pm de lunes a viernes. Familias de CPS pueden recojer almuerzos de tres dias a la vez, con dos almuerzos por estudiante. Nadie sera permitido adentro de la escuela por ninguna razon.
CPS apoyara el aprendisaje estudiantil y compromiso academico durante este tiempo. Les estamos dejando saber que la escuela Richardson tiene planes de aprendisaje contigentes para mantener a los estudiantes activos academicamente.
Durante el sierre de las escuelas estudiantes que tengan acceso al internet pueden entrar a las plataformas digitales que los/las maestros(as) les asignen para completar como Edgenuity, donde pueden trabajar en matematicas y lectura. Los estudiantes tambien deben leer su texto de lectura independiente y completar su registro de lectura. Estas nuevas actividades contaran como enriquecimiento para asegurar que los estudiantes no bajen academicamente durante el tiempo que la escuela este cerrada. Favor de visitar nuestra pagina web http://richardson.cps.edu para acceso a las paginas web que los maestros asignen. Este tambien es una gran oportunidad para que los estudiantes completen trabajo atrasado. Los estudiantes pueden contactarse con sus maestros con preguntas por medio de sus correos electronicos de CPS.
El distrito ha enviado, y seguira enviando, actualizaciones regulares sobre el COVID-19 a los padres y guardianes con guias mas especificos. Favor de escuchar las noticias locales para actulizaciones en sierres de escuelas y mas informaciones.
Para la informacion mas confiable sobre el COVID-19, favor de visitar:
Si necesita ayuda localizando ayuda medica, favor de contactar las Oficinas de Salud Estudiantil de CPS en oshw@cps.edu o llamando a la linea directa de CPS al 773-553-KIDS (5437).
