This week, we celebrate the heart of our school — the teachers, staff, and support teams who show up each day with dedication, patience, compassion, and love for our students. Thank you for the countless ways you support, encourage, inspire, and care for our Beard School community.

Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are so grateful for everything you do to make Beard School a place where students feel safe, valued, and empowered to learn and grow. 💙

A huge THANK YOU to Angelica, Arlene, and Janet for volunteering their time to prepare and serve a delicious hot dog lunch for our staff during Staff Appreciation Week! 🌭💙

Your kindness and generosity helped make our team feel so valued and celebrated. We truly appreciate all that you do for our school community!

We look forward to welcoming prospective parents and families to our open house this Thursday, April 16th from 4-6pm. Some of our teachers will be here to give guided tours and our head teacher and assistant principal will be able to answer questions. We are also happy to help complete the application with your family if needed.

Mark your calendars! 🗓️🖍️ If you have a little one between the ages of 0–5, the Chicago Early Learning application opens on April 7.

Chicago Early Learning offers high-quality early childhood education programs from prenatal services through age 5, including CPS Pre-K and community-based programs such as Head Start.

Applying during the Initial Application Period improves your child’s chances of securing their seat in your family’s preferred program. Families who submit applications during this time will receive their placement in mid-May.

Head to ChicagoEarlyLearning.org to subscribe to our newsletter and be among the first to know when applications go live! 💙
