Are you interested in learning about ways to ignite your child’s curiosity around the ever-growing field of computer science?  Join us for our second annual Night of Code on Thursday, January 9!  We’ll go over basic ways that you and your child can begin the journey of learning to code.  No experience necessary, as we will be starting from the ground up.

This event is open to all City Neighbors students and there is no need to sign up or pre-register.  We’ll meet from 5:30 to 6:30 at the City Neighbors High School Café.  See you there!

Intent to Return Forms and Sibling/Staff Enrollment, 2020-21

On Monday, January 13, all current CNH families will receive a Google form to complete, indicating whether or not their child/ren will be returning to CNH next school year, 2020-21.  We ask for this information this time every year in order to determine how many seats we will have available when we conduct our enrollment lottery in February.  The forms will be due no later than Monday, January 27.  Please submit one form per child you have enrolled at CNH.  The form is not designed for information for more than one student. If you do not have online access, hard copies will be available at the front desk.  Please look for these in your inbox next Monday and respond as soon as possible.

January 27 is also the deadline for submission of 2020-21 enrollment applications for children of staff and siblings of current students.  Applications are available in the office or on our website.   You can submit them to the office directly or by scanning and emailing to applications@cityneighborshamilton.org.

Any questions about enrollment for 2020-21?  Contact Stephanie at sking@ityneighborshamilton.org.
