We are thankful for our school community.   During this past year, we saw a school strike and remote learning, but as a collective unit we pulled through.  More recently, we have been hit with harsh realities of how this country has continuously ignored racial injustices that require us to reflect and truly examine ourselves as an institution aimed at developing minds and creating active and constructive participants in our society.

This page gives specific details on our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion plans to help support our students and uplift voices in our community.  While we know that this work will not happen overnight, the commitment is here.  We are committed to providing our students with a school that will encourage and inspire individuals from all walks of life.  We invite you to be a part of this work.  .

SEED Information

Skinner North in partnership with Single Story, Inc. is hosting parent and staff SEED (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity) groups this year.  SEED is a group process of sharing our own stories and listening to the stories of others. For staff and parents, SEED offers us the opportunity to; a) revisit experiences around gender, ethnicity, race, class, and sexual identity that have influenced our perspectives and to; b) become aware of other views and perspectives on a personal, institutional and societal level. 
SEED is about learning how to be an ally to others, both those similar to and different from ourselves. It is about recognizing that inclusion means knowing that we are global citizens who all deserve respect and fairness in our lives, whether or not our particular face or opinion is represented at any given moment. Getting to this point may cause participants some discomfort as we uncover and validate that there are injustices and inequalities, even in our midst. Yet by seeing this and learning to be unafraid we can honestly begin to imagine a wider, more equitable world, the one we want for our children and our students. To move towards such a world is our goal.
