CANTY REMOTE LEARNING RESOURCES
Remote Learning
Remote Learning Begins April 13th. While remote learning will not replace the classroom learning experience, it is an effort to engage students in high-quality learning opportunities while schools are closed. The school’s Remote Learning Plan has the schedule for direct contact and office hours for all grade levels. We are encouraging students to participate in learning daily and connecting with their teachers. In addition to continued learning, engaging with peers and teachers will help to create a sense of normalcy for students at this time.
Google Classroom and Codes for Most Special Classes!
Please add your specials classes to your google classroom! Class codes are available HERE. Parents and students can refer to this HOW-TO guide if you are accessing google classroom for the first time.
Grading
Beginning April 13th, grades entered in Aspen for work completed during the remote learning period can only raise students’ final letter grades, not lower them. However, students who are not able to engage, or who choose to disengage, in remote learning will be issued an “incomplete” instead of a failing grade. Students will have the opportunity to make up “incompletes” once schools reopen. If a student fails to make up “incompletes” once schools reopen, the assignment will change to “missing” which will negatively impact their grade. Therefore, it is important for all students to engage with remote learning and turn in assignments.
The district is currently working on detailed guidance regarding report cards, grade promotion, and graduation requirements.

Non-Digital Materials
We will be providing CPS instructional packets to families by request (email Ms. Rath). These packets are also available online. These packets are for enrichment and continued learning, but are different from what the teachers are providing. We are unable to provide printed materials from individual teachers. Students will not receive grades and feedback for CPS instructional packets.
Technology Distribution
If you have technology at home, continue to use those devices. Teachers and staff reached out to students and parents to determine needs for technology. Families that are in need of a Chromebook are being emailed distribution days and times. We are able to provide Canty students with a Chromebook on loan at a 2:1 ratio per family due to resources. Parents/students are responsible for caring for and preventing damage to checked out devices. Parents/students are responsible for the eventual return of all technology that is loaned during this time. A parent or legal guardian must pick up the device.

Canty Gives Back
The Canty Social (Distancing) Club wants to give back! We will be feeding the 16th District and Chicago Fire Department Engine 86 (Harlem and Irving)! Both departments have been amazing in supporting our Canty community. During such a difficult time, we think showing our appreciation through a nice hot meal, is the least we could do. Moretti's in Edison Park is working with us and giving us an amazing deal! Both departments will have pasta, salads, and beef sandwiches. Dinner will be delivered on Saturday, April 11th to both departments. Canty Teachers are also donating wipes and hand sanitizer to the Chicago Police Department, Chicago Fire Department and the State Police.
Grab-and-Go Meal Update
Canty is no longer a meal distribution site. During spring break, families may pick up grab-and-go meals from Monday–Thursday, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. The closest location to Canty is Oriole Park located at 5424 N. Oketo Avenue. Meal sites will not be open on Friday, April 10 to give our staff members off for Good Friday, and we ask families to plan accordingly. Beginning the following week, Monday, April 13, food distribution will continue at Dever School. Find the meal site closest to you at cps.edu/mealsites.
