Norwood Park Prek Candidacy Site Survey

Dear NPS Community,
​
Happy New Year! I hope you are staying warm and the new year is off to a great start for your family. The below survey is in response to a commitment the Prek Committee made to gather information from the surrounding community. There are no new developments or information regarding NPS as a site for prek expansion. The survey link will also be sent through the Alderman's and Chamber of Commerce's listerv during their normal scheduled releases.
After the survey closes at midnight on February 9th, 2020 the committee will meet and send out the survey results. As always, if any new information is received concerning NPS I will email the community.
If you have any questions please reach out to Chief McGlade (jamcglade@cps.edu) or Principal Coors (rwcoors@cps.edu).
Sincerely,
Mr. Coors

Elementary School GoCPS Application

The GoCPS Elementary Application for magnet and other selective enrollment schools is now open. Siblings of current magnet students may apply to NPS through this application, but there is not a guarantee siblings will have a spot at NPS. Please know that in recent years we have been very short on classroom space and have been able to offer very few to no lottery spots. We strongly encourage lottery families with siblings to have strong second and third options. Please see the attached document for more information: FAQs_2020-2021_ElementarySchools_v3.pdf and a letter to parents from CPS Department of Access and Enrollment: Letter to parents re sibling and preschool_2020-2021.pdf
