Skinner North Update 8/24/18

Good afternoon, Skinner North Families!  We hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday.  It has been a busy week here at Skinner North and excellent example of working together, achieving success.  


Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who came out!  Volunteers prepared bulletin boards, made copies, painted, and prepared the back playground for some fun updates (coming next week).   We are excited for students to return!
   

Thank you to FoSN for helping to fund the paint and playground resurfacing as well as the updated gym floor!   


Please read below for a few updates and reminders.  Next week be on the lookout for our getting ready for the first day of school-wide email.  


Have a great day,
Katie & Derrick

Back to School Picnic & School Supply Drop Off- We are looking forward to seeing many of you at the Back to School Picnic, tomorrow (Sat.) from noon-2PM, on the back playground area.  Come bring a picnic for your family, socialize with the Skinner North Community and find out teacher assignments.  Many of our teachers will be at the picnic as well.  It is also a great opportunity to drop off your child's school supplies (You will enter through the back door and place supplies by your student's classroom door).  Supply drop off can also been done any day next week from 8:00-3:30.  (If you pre-ordered school supplies, they have arrived and will be delivered to classrooms next week.)


Get to know the Skinner North Staff - See attached for our Skinner North Staff Directory and an article on why our teachers teach.  We hope this helps you put faces with names and learn about our team.  We are welcoming 2 new teachers.  Ms. Steenman is new to our school and comes with rich instructional experience and expertise.  She will be teaching Kindergarten.  Ms. Fahey will be teaching music.  Two years ago she was a student teacher with Ms. Poznicek and has a strong musical background and pedagogically understanding.  We are excited to welcome her back.  We will also welcome a new special education position as we recently received an additional position.  We are currently seeking a candidate and will introduce the new staff member as soon as we can.


J at School Registration - If you are interested in J at School before/after care and enrichments, registration is now available.  To register go to the Skinner North link found at https://www.jccchicago.org/programs/schools-out/before-after-school-care-info/ .  Information about their enrichment offerings is available at the Skinner North link found at https://www.jccchicago.org/programs/schools-out/enrichment/.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kindergarten Round Up - Our Kindergarten Round Up will occur Tuesday, August 28.  Please let us know if you will be unable to attend by emailing me at kmagnuson@cps.edu.

Round Up has an AM and PM session.  Attendance is determined by first letter of last name.  If the student's last name begins with A-M, please come in the morning (8:45AM-11:00AM) and if the student's last name begins with N-Z, please come in the afternoon (1:00PM-3:00PM).  

When you arrive students and parents will get the opportunity to do an activity in one of the classrooms.  Students will, then, play with one another with teacher supervision while parents go to the auditorium for a presentation and Q/A session with administration.  Each student's reading level will also be assessed to help us start differentiated instruction as soon as possible.  Students will receive their classroom/teacher assignment a day or two after round up.  

If unable to attend Round Up, it is okay.  We just ask that you please let us know in advance.  Students who miss round up will be placed in rooms and then, assessed when the school year begins.

*You can feel free to drop off your student's school supplies this day.*
