When is the First Day of School in Lincoln Square?

Whether your child is attending a private school or CPS, we have the helpful links and information to make the start of fall seamless.

It's time to sharpen the pencils and pick out a new backpack—the start of school is right around the corner. 

Local Chicago Public Schools all begin Aug. 26. This is the first year of a unified calendar for CPS, so all students will have the same start, end and days off. 

In Lincoln Square, those include: 

  • Budlong Elementary
  • Chappell Elementary
  • McPherson Elementary
  • Ravenswood Elementary
  • Waters Elementary 
  • Amundsen High School
