Lots of changes to the GoCPS webpages in anticipation of a big change for CPS Elementary Admissions. This will take some getting used to! https://www.cps.edu/gocps/elementary-school/

CPS announced a change to their elementary “Choice” admissions process that will require RANKING up to 20 Choice options, instead of just listing 20 with no order. That means a family can only get up to ONE Choice program AND up to ONE Selective Enrollment program in additional to their guaranteed neighborhood school. Preliminary info was released in this email: https://ow.ly/YMxr50TqqAY

Reminder from @chicagoearlylearning: "If you've received a preschool offer from a CPS school, please remember to check your offer expiration date and accept your offer as soon as possible to secure your child's placement. After July 15, offers for schools with waitlists will expire at the end of the 14-day window, so don't wait! You can accept your offer and remain on another program's waitlist.

4 Ways to Accept or Decline Your Placement Offer:
•Online by logging into your account at ChicagoEarlyLearning.org
•Call our Family Support Hotline at 312-229-1690
•Call the school where your child was offered a seat
•Visit the school in-person

Remember, CBO offers do not expire, and offers at schools without waitlists will stay open longer."
