Siblings Entering Skinner?
Don't
put all your eggs in one basket!! Remember,
there are several ways for a sibling to enroll into Skinner for Kdg,
1st , 2nd and 3rd grades for the 2012-2013 school year. The
first way is through applying for the Classical Program by
completing the Selective Enrollment Application for Elementary
Schools. The second is through completing a separate
application (Options for Knowledge Standard Elementary Application)
for the lottery for the neighborhood/magnet component of Skinner
West. Both applications must be received by the Office of
Academic Enhancement by Friday, December 16, 2011 via the online
process at www.apply.cps.edu
or by paper application. Best wishes to all of our siblings who
will be participating in the testing and /or lottery process for
enrollment.
