Morning arrival and end of day pick up
Please remember to enter Scott via Halsted and pull into the south parking lot and exit onto Larabee. You can park in the lot across from the school or Target.  Ensuring that Scott street has a one way flow of traffic helps keep students safe, buses moving and drop off and pick up smooth.

Interfaith Dialogue Workshop

We invite all Skinner North teachers, staff, caregivers, and 7th/8th grade students (with caregivers' permission) to join us for an hour-long virtual dialogue workshop on Thursday, March 2 7-8 PM. Our cultural, religious, and racial/ethnic identities shape who we are in meaningful ways. We are creating a virtual space to share who we are with others in our diverse Skinner North community.


The workshop is organized by the SN Diversity Committee and will be led by Avi Smolen, Pastor Dominique Grate, SN Parent Hannah Willage, and 8th graders Abbey, Aisling, Carly, Parvathi, Priyanka, and Robert.


Keep in mind that younger-grade children are welcome to attend with you, and 7th and 8th graders can attend with their caregivers or on their own with caregivers' permission. Although not necessary, feel free to RSVP to let us know you're coming: https://forms.gle/w9eUBDydUV9LEFWC9
