بصفتها أمًا، استمتعت سيبيلين بكونها جزءًا من مجتمع باكتاون على مدار الـ 17 عامًا الماضية. لديها طفلان، أحدهما خريج والآخر مسجل حاليًا في CICS باكتاون. التحقت ابنتها بباكتاون منذ عدة سنوات، حيث كانت ثاني أفضل طالبة في صفها في الصف الثامن. لدى سيبيلين ابن يدرس حاليًا في بكتاون ويستمتع بكونه طالبًا فيها بسبب ثقافة الحرم الجامعي والبيئة الأكاديمية. جاء قرار سيبيلين بالانضمام إلى مجتمع بكتاون بناءً على نصيحة أختها استنادًا إلى تجربة طفلها الطالب. كانت دائمًا تتحدث عن معلمي بكتاون الرائعين وتفكر في مدى مشاركة الآباء في تعليم أطفالهم.
When Cibelen enrolled her daughter at Bucktown, she became involved by volunteering her time by reading to her daughter’s classroom and participating in their small group instruction time. She continues to do the same with her son’s classroom.
Besides volunteering in the classroom, Cibelen helps with field trips, holiday activities, and classroom activities. It is important for Cibelen to be helpful and present with her children's teachers but involved with their academics.
Teachers matter! Cibelen considers the teachers at CICS Bucktown the most rewarding aspects because of their willingness and intentionality to build relationships with her and her children. Because of this, she believes the teachers and staff go above and beyond for all students to succeed academically and thrive beyond the Bucktown campus.
"My children’s superpower has always been DRIVE! They want to learn and succeed! Families should come to CICS Bucktown because they want their children to learn, succeed, and be involved in their child’s academic journey!"
Cibelen’s family has always felt a sense of community since joining CICS Bucktown! Cibelen urges other families who are in search of a school home to check out CICS Bucktown if they want to see their children soar, “We have teachers and families looking out for each other! My children’s superpower has always been DRIVE! They want to learn and succeed! Families should come to CICS Bucktown because they want their children to learn, succeed, and be involved in their child’s academic journey! It really takes a village to teach, care and want the BEST for your child! “
