On Wednesday, 1/24, the Chicago Board of Education approved the calendar for the 2018-2019 School Year, which will go a long way toward supporting our students, and you - the dedicated team who work so hard to help them succeed.

This calendar contains a wealth of information. You’ll see that our student attendance days – 178 – are evenly distributed across four academic quarters, and that we’ve allocated two days for parent-teacher conferences.

Our great Alderman Reboyras, raffled off a tablet to one of our top Honor Roll 8th grade student. Alderman Reboyras awarded Yahir Hernandez a tablet and honored him for being one of Reilly Students top Honor Roll students. Yahir was thankful as he did not own a tablet and will now use it to increase his research studies.
