Good afternoon! Please read below for a few updates. Remember Monday is Indigenous People's Day and there is no school. We hope you have a relaxing, holiday weekend.
This holiday was formerly called Columbus Day in CPS, however, this year the name was changed to Indigenous People's Day to honor and show solidarity with Indigenous Peoples. The following resources can help in supporting conversations and dialogue around this change.

SNUG Parent Forum Presentation - Thank you to Ms. Jacobson, Holly and the SNUG Committee for putting together such a helpful Fall Forum on the Academic Center and High School Application Process. Please see attached for the presentation. Also note that the GoCPS application window opens at 9AM on Monday, October 12. Find out more at go.cps.edu.
Room Parents Needed - The room parent coordinator is seeking volunteers to serve as room parent for this school year. Room parents work with the homeroom teacher, the administration, and Friends of Skinner North to facilitate communications and volunteer activities throughout the year, and to organize parent-teacher coffees, end-of-year gifts, and teacher appreciation. In this strange year, we will rely on our room parents more than ever to communicate important information to families, and to coordinate class-wide efforts. Please email snroomparent@gmail.com if you're interested.
Best,
Derrick
