Grading Scale

Starting this school year, our school has adopted a new grading scale for all students in grades 1st through 8th. The following is the new scale:

A= 90% - 100%
B= 80% - 89%
C= 70% - 79%
D= 60% - 69%
F= Below 60%

With this change, we are trying to align and standardize our school’s grading scale with the scale that most schools in CPS are using.

Pre-K Applications
(Chicago Ready to Learn)

Applications for the Pre-K program for next year are available at our school. The Chicago Ready to Learn Team will be at Healy picking up applications and helping parents complete the process Friday, March 21st (8 a.m. to 11:00 am). This will be the only day the team will be available to help parents complete the process. The following are the basic requirements and timeline for this process:

  • March 3-April 11: 1st  round of applications
  • May 27-June 27:  2nd round of  applications  (Note: 2nd round applicants will be offered seats ONLY after 1st round selections are made and 1st round wait-lists are exhausted.)
  • Applications can ONLY be submitted at designated application sites to trained application representatives. Any application submitted elsewhere or to other staff will not be valid.
  • Applicants must have proof of income, residency, and birth with them in order to apply. Any families missing required documentation will be asked to return to the site with these items.

Attendance

We are noticing that many students are coming to the building extremely late. I want to remind you that students are considered late to school if they arrive to the building after 7:45 am. Also, please note that students who leave school before 11:15 a.m. will be marked as a full day of absence.  Students arriving after 10 am, or leaving before 2:30 p.m. will be marked as ½ day absent.  
Starting the first week of December, we are going to attach a bar code tag to your child’s book bag. The bar code tag will be used to track tardies. We are trying this system to decrease the amount of time students who are tardy are spending waiting for the tardy slip. There are days that we have so many students tardy, that the students can wait up to fifteen minutes for their tardy slip.  We would appreciate your cooperation in ensuring that your child does not remove the tag from their book bag.
