Re: New Student Starting and Ending Times for 2011-2012 School Year

Dear Parent/Guardian:

 I am pleased to report that South Loop School's student day will be lengthened by 20 minutes for the 2011-2012 school year. The change is due to a joint principal, parent, teacher committee's decision to end the practice of having teachers take their 45 minute lunch break at the end of the school day. The new starting and ending times will be 9:00 a.m. to 3:07 p.m. and will take effect on September 6, 2011, the first day of student attendance for the 2011-2012 school year for the MAIN BUILDING ONLY.  Benefits to students are:

·         will allow recess for  middle school

·         additional minutes of instruction per day

The Branch kindergarten start and end time will continue as 8:45 am to 2:30 pm.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the new schedule, please contact the school at 773 534-8690.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Shelton

Principal
