School District 219 Sets Date For First Virtual AFFINITY Meeting

Press release from Niles Township High Schools District 219:

September 10, 2020

It’s that time of the year again! We are so excited to have you join us this fall semester for our AFFINITY virtual meetings, which will be held once a month on Thursdays from 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Our first ZOOM meeting will be on Thursday, September 24, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and the theme is, “Adapting to Your New Normal.”

PLEASE ATTEND! Your input is needed, valuable, and essential. So far, we have encountered many challenges this year from the pandemic to the injustices that are continuously disrupting the lives of people of color. Now that we are fully adjusting to the changes that have taken place, we’d like to hear from you all. Let’s talk about virtual schooling, what’s going on at home, and how we may best support you. We want to live through you vicariously and be in your shoes for a day. Our goal is to provide you all with a safe space in which you can debrief and express your emotions about the current world we live in. Also, as per usual, we will provide you with tips for your child’s success at Niles North and Niles West.

If you are able to, which we would very much love that you could, PLEASE RSVP via this link, so we may prepare for our meeting.

We look forward to seeing new and familiar faces!
