Notice to Legal Prep Families and Students
Dear Wildcat family,
Governor Pritzker announced at 2:30 on 4/17/2020 that he was suspending in-school learning for all schools in Illinois for the remainder of the school year. While this is not a decision any of us wanted to hear, we know that this is a mandate that is critical in order to ensure that we can “flatten the curve” throughout Chicago and Illinois.
This information will not change our current e-learning structure. We will continue to offer live virtual classes, live office hours, live social emotional support, and live post-secondary counseling support. The schedule for these opportunities will continue to be sent out weekly to all parents/guardians and students. You can also find these schedules on our website at: http://www.legalprep.org/remote-learning-plan.html.
We remain incredibly grateful for every student, family member, and staff member that together create the Wildcat family. Together we are strong and we will get through this.
Principal Ramirez

"The fact that I was able to gain some exposure to legal-themed courses in high school has proven to be incredibly beneficial for me in college.... Looking back on the years I spent at Legal Prep, it’s difficult to put into words how much they mean to me today." |
