Congratulations Families!
By now you have received high school notification letters. We need your child to let us know where he or she will be going to high school by clicking this link.
Some of you may be interested in learning more about principal discretion. Below, please find the link that helps provide information about frequently asked questions when it comes to the principal discretion process. If you wish to receive a recommendation from Mr. Toledo, then you will need to fill out the Thorp Principal Recommendation Form. Below is the information from the CPS Office of Access and Enrollment:
"Principal Discretion is a process that allows Selective Enrollment High School principals to fill a designated number of ninth-grade seats, outside of the regular selection process, based on information provided through application packages submitted by students.
Applicants to ninth grade can apply to a Selective Enrollment school through the Principal Discretion process if they (1) did not receive a Selective Enrollment offer, or (2) they received a Selective Enrollment offer but would like to be considered for a different Selective Enrollment High School. (You do not have to decline an offer in order to apply for Principal Discretion)."
View the Go CPS Offer/Waitlist Presentation for more information.
Important Dates:
If you have questions about the HS selection process please click this information link or contact the Office of Access and Enrollment 773-553-2060 or [email protected].
If you wish for Mr. Toledo to write you a letter of recommendation, you must fill out this form by April 7th.
Thank you!
