Join us in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! 🪅 At Distinctive Schools, we deeply value the histories, experiences, and cultures of our Latin American and Hispanic communities. We are honored to celebrate our Latin American and Hispanic students, staff, and families who bring so much joy, innovation, and importance to our Chicago International Charter School families every day. ❤️ ¡Les agradecemos a todos!

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! 🎉

Happy Community School Coordinator (CSC) Appreciation Week! We are so lucky to have Dolores Ruiz-Villalvazo as our incredible CSC here at CICS Prairie. ❤️🦅

Dolores is an essential part of our Chicago International Charter School community, and her hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. Dolores strives to make sure our CICS Prairie students feel fulfilled in both their academics and their relationships with our community. She provides us with the utmost sense of belonging every day at CICS Prairie. Thank you, Dolores, for everything you do for our community! 🌟

We’re wishing all of our families a wonderful and restful Labor Day weekend! ☀️🍦

🗓️ As a reminder, we will have early dismissal on Friday, September 4th at 2pm. All campuses and our network office will be closed on Monday, September 7th. We can't wait to see our Chicago International Charter School students back in class on Tuesday, September 8th, ready for another great week of learning! 📚

We had an amazing first week of school, and closed it out by recognizing the individuals who have been demonstrating excellence in our first community gathering of the year! 🌟 We held our first B.U.I.L.D. assembly where we celebrated our scholars and staff for showing these qualities (Be Respectful, Use Responsibility, Include Everyone, Lead by Example, Do Your Best) throughout the week! 🏗️ Well done, Chicago International Charter School Prairie community! ❤️🦅

We are so happy to have our CICS Prairie students and staff back in our hallways! ❤️🦅 It has only been a week, but our students are already learning new topics and making new friends! Let’s continue building this excellence! 📚🌱

CICS Prairie is still accepting students, with limited space available! Enroll today!

We had such a fun time at our CICS Prairie Back 2 School Bash yesterday! 🥳 It was amazing to see so many new and returning faces celebrating our Distinctive Schools community together! 🎉

From backyard games, to snow cones, to our amazing Chicago International Charter School teachers and staff greeting everyone with so much excitement, this Back 2 School Bash couldn’t be better! ☀️ Special thank you to our neighborhood police district for joining us with their friendly horses and tank to tour!

We can’t wait for the school year to start so we can continue building excellence brick by brick! 🧱 See you all on Monday! ❤️🦅
