Back-to-School Bashes

Back-to-School Bashes return this summer. The entire CPS community is invited to join us to connect, ask questions, and get excited for the new school year which begins on Monday, August 26, 2024.

This summer’s bashes will be held at city parks throughout Chicago and will include opportunities to:

  • Connect with your student’s school and local organizations 
  • Ask questions and get information about the upcoming school year 
  • Get access to important services 
  • Receive a backpack with school supplies for next year 
  • Meet school staff and other families 
  • Enjoy some delicious food and have fun
