"A Budlong education challenges students to think critically,
problem solve, and innovate in a global context."

"Budlong will tailor its institution so all students grow and achieve. To do this, we will build our capacity around reflective practice and, more specifically, differentiated institution."

Principal's Letter

Good Morning,

Finally...school will resume tomorrow!  Thank you for your patience and support over these past 11 school days.  

For some students, the 11 days away from school has been quite difficult.  We will spend time as a school rebuilding and reconnecting with one another.  Our hearts our with our students always and we will dedicate time to conversations and team building immediately.

Because of the forecast for cold AM temps, we will have indoor arrival tomorrow.  Any updates to the CPS calendar, and the marking period will be communicated once decided by CPS.  

See everyone tomorrow.
