Welcome to Ginsburg Elementary
|
Welcome to Ruth Bader Ginsburg Elementary School!
Vision: Ginsburg graduates, creative, global, and empathetic leaders. Our mission is to empower, inspire, and persevere all students. Some things to remember: Students must wear school uniforms Monday through Thursday. Each Friday is a $1.00 Jeans Day. This donation offsets the cost of field trips. PE uniforms should only be worn on gym days. Please see the flyer under "Parents Resources" for the criteria. School hours are 7:45 a.m. until 2:45 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please do not drop your child off before 7:30 a.m. No early dismissals after 2:15 p.m. unless you show proof of an appointment. Please call or email if you have any concerns. Most of the time, we can assist you over the phone. We are excited for a year of learning, challenges, and accomplishments! Please check this website and our social media for updated information. Thank you for your support. Back-to-School Health RequirementsWelcome to the 2024-25 school year!
Staying up-to-date on your student’s immunizations and school physical examinations is a crucial step to keeping your family healthy. Review the District’s School Health Requirements and check in with your primary care physician at your medical home to ensure that your students are protected. Please note that all students are required to provide proof of their annual physical and vaccinations by October 15, 2024. Learn more about all the services that the CPS Office of Student Health and Wellness can offer at cps.edu/oshw or call the Healthy CPS Hotline at (773) 553-KIDS (5437). |
As the school year progresses there will be various opportunities for our families to get involved. Check out our school website (home page and calendar), social media, and your email listed on Aspen for important updates and reminders!
Our students lead each morning by reading the announcements.
