Happy Friday! I hope everyone is doing well. We are excited as the school year is quickly approaching and we received guidance from CPS in regards to remote learning. This is allowing us to finalize plans for the fall. That being said, we will have a number of updates in the coming days/weeks. Please be on the lookout for our emails. See below for some important information.
Have a wonderful day,
Katie and Derrick
----------------------------------------------
Town Halls - Derrick and I will be hosting town halls for families in order to review the CPS School Reopening 2020 Final Framework and other key information for the start of school. These will be hosted virtually by grade band on Thursday, August 27 and Friday, August 28. Please see the list for your student's grade and Google Meet log in. If you are unable to attend your student's grade band, you may attend another (information around schedules may be slightly different). Dates are also available at http://www.skinnernorth.org/calendar.html where you can easily add them to your calendar.
LSC Principal's Report - Please see attached for the principal's report from our August Local School Council Meeting.
Kindergarten Parent Social! - Do you have an incoming kindergartener, and are you interested in meeting the other parents in the class? Put the kids to bed, and join our Zoom Kindergarten Parent Social at 8pm on Friday, 9/4. Everyone can introduce themselves, chat a bit in small groups, and then we will leave some time for Q&A. Register for the zoom here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMtc-uhpj4pEtU7ZcbojlVF33T4sk4JCNSN
Attention new Skinner North Parents! - Interested in meeting other parents joining Skinner North for the first time this year?

Announcement from Dr. Magnuson - I am excited to announce that my family will be adding a new member around Thanksgiving. I am expecting a baby girl at that time.
CPS Child Supervision Survey - CPS and the City of Chicago are surveying families to better understand who may need help this fall finding a safe space for their children during traditional school hours. As we assess parental needs throughout the city, we are evaluating opportunities to provide potential support with child supervision for families who have school-age children under 14 years of age. Families who live in high-need communities or transitional housing will be prioritized.
Beginning of the Year Required Forms - Please see the following link (https://www.cps.edu/globalassets/cps-pages/services-and-supports/health-and-wellness/student_health_school_forms_booklet_engish_2020-2021.pdf) for the student health and school forms booklet. These can be submitted electronically, mailed or dropped off (starting the week of 8/31) at the school. (The health related forms typically are not due until mid October.)
