Dear Families:
We hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend. We are excited to welcome your students to Skokie tomorrow!
First Day of School Arrival
On Tuesday, we will have signs in the front circle drive for students to line up with their advisory classmates. The signs will list the last name of the advisor teacher.
Please try to have your child arrive at Skokie daily by 8:15am, as we will open the doors each morning at that time. On Tuesday, we will start having advisories enter the building around 8:20 am.
