Principal’s Report to the LSC – Please use this link to access the April Principal’s report to the LSC.
COVID Update - CPS recently changed their policy and the district has transitioned to only identifying true close contacts, they no longer want to quarantine full cohorts. A true close contact is someone who was directly with the case less than 3ft apart for over 15 minutes. So, it is possible for a student to be unvaccinated and not be flipped to remote with a positive case in their classroom. Starting today, the district will also send communication to the homeroom with a positive case to let everyone know there is a case in the homeroom for everyone's awareness. Close contacts will also receive separate communication.
Diverse Needs Committee
April is Autism Acceptance Month
In the United States, 3.5 million people, and one in 44 children are on the autism spectrum. In April, Skinner North staff will share lessons about autism and empathy. Ask your student about what they have learned! Check out the committee website for more details.
Here are a few resources to learn more about autism and how to be an ally:
