The Principal’s Message..........
Dear Parents: Welcome Back! In this, Elk Grove High School’s 50th Anniversary year, we are truly excited to get started again! This has been a great summer at EGHS, with lots of action as always! Here’s some of the good stuff:
-‐-‐New LED lights have been installed in our Fieldhouse, and they look amazing! -‐-‐Our Marching Band was AWESOME in the National Independence Day Parade in
Washington, D.C.
-‐-‐Our Automated Manufacturing Team won the Skills USA NATIONAL Championship in Louisville, KY!
-‐-‐EGHS Debater Mike Pauls was a NATIONAL Semi-‐Finalist! At this point, you may have heard that we have FAR more clarity than before regarding the Illinois student assessment system. Almost of the confusion of the past two years is gone, and we now have not only an identified common State Assessment for Juniors (the SAT), but even a date for it (April 5)!!! We are extremely pleased that the PARCC Assessment is no longer required for high school students, allowing us to focus on what really benefits our students and families most. Finally, I am guessing you have seen something at this point about District 214’s “Redefining Ready” initiative. We very excited about the wide range of possibilities that our “Redefining Ready” focus offers our students as we work for the long-‐term improvement of the whole child at Elk Grove High School and beyond. More information is available at www.redefininingready.org. We are looking forward to seeing you back at EGHS very soon! All the best to you and your family. Sincerely, Paul Kelly Principal

Estimados padres: ¡Bienvenidos de regreso! ¡En este, 50vo aniversario de Elk Grove High School, estamos muy emocionados de comenzar de nuevo! ¡Este ha sido un buen verano en EGHS, con mucha actividad, como siempre! A continuación encontrará algunas de las cosas que han tomado lugar:
-‐-‐¡Nuevas luces LED han sido instaladas en nuestro gimnasio, y se ven increíbles! -‐-‐Nuestra Banda de Marcha estuvo ESPECTACULAR en el Desfile Nacional del Día de
Independencia en Washington, D.C.
-‐-‐¡Nuestro Equipo de Fabricación Automatizada ganó el Campeonato NACIONAL de Skills USA en Louisville, KY!
-‐-‐¡Mike Pauls, orador en el equipo de debate fue un semifinalista NACIONAL! A este punto, probablemente ya ha escuchado que tenemos MUCHO más claridad que antes en cuanto al sistema de evaluación para estudiantes en Illinois. Casi toda la confusión de los últimos dos años ha desaparecido, y ahora tenemos identificado, no solo una evaluación común del estado para estudiantes de 11vo grado (el SAT), pero ¡¡¡hasta una fecha para el mismo (5 de abril)!!! Estamos extremadamente contentos que la evaluación PARCC ya no es requerida para los estudiantes de high school, permitiendo enfocarnos en lo que realmente beneficia a nuestros estudiantes y familias. Finalmente, creo que a este punto ya han visto algo sobre la iniciativa del Distrito 214 “Redefining Ready.” Estamos muy emocionados de todas las oportunidades que el enfoque de “Redefining Ready” ofrece a nuestros estudiantes mientras trabajamos en el progreso a largo plazo de su hijo/a en Elk Grove High School y en el futuro. Más información se encuentra disponible en www.redefininingready.org. ¡Estamos emocionados en verlos de regreso en EGHS muy pronto! Mis mejores deseos para usted y su familia. Sinceramente, Paul Kelly Director

It brings the CTE Division and Elk Grove High School great pleasure to announce the success of these students at the 2016 SkillsUSA State Competition. What an outstanding job these students have done this year!
In the Automated Manufacturing competition the EGHS teams took both 1st and 2nd in state. Peter Barts, Campbell Kraemer, and Jonathan Faughn have now been invited to the national competition held in June in Louisville, Kentucky. The team of Anna Connelly, Maram Safi, and Kacper Migacz brought home silver medals.

2016 was the first year that we have had students compete in the CNC Milling competition and they did not disappoint. Brandon Garcia is the state champion and James Loska brought home a 3rd place finish. It is quite impressive that of the eight manufacturing students that competed down at state, all eight brought home medals from their podium-‐place finishes.

19EGHS Parent Newsletter 1st Quarter - August 2016
From the School Nurse......Kathie Sczepanski
MEDICATION GUIDELINES: The responsibility for administering student medication rests solely with the parents, or guardian; thus a schedule should be arranged so that all medication is taken at home under parental supervision and not during school hours. In exceptional cases when medication must be taken during the school day, the regulations from the Illinois Department of Public Health, “Guidelines for Management of Medication in the Schools” will be implemented by the Certified School Nurse as follows:
Procedures: 1. The school nurse is to be informed of students who are receiving medication for long-‐term medical conditions.
2. Whenever possible, medication should be self-‐administered under the supervision of the school nurse or an administrator.
3. Medication is to be brought to the school in a container, which has been appropriately labeled, by the pharmacy or physician.
4. When medication must be administered at school, the parent or guardian is to provide for the school a District 214 medication request form authorizing the administration of the prescribed medication. This form is available at the school health services office or for download on the district or individual school web site (www.d214.org or eghs.d214.org, click on Parents, Health Services and then Forms). Yearly renewal is required.
5. Tylenol or Acetaminophen can now be administered with parental permission on the on-‐line registration form.
6. The school nurse and/or the principal may, at their discretion, reject the requests for administration of medication. It is understood that the school district provides this service in the interest of the well being of students and as an accommodation to parents.
Developed by: District 214 Advisory Committee as mandated by state law (P.A. 86-‐1441). The members of this committee are representatives of District 214 administrators, school nurses, teacher-‐trainers, community physicians, nurses, and parents. ASTHMA INHALER/EPI PEN POLICY:Asthma Inhaler/Epi pen Policy In accordance with 105ILCS 5/22-‐30 and District 214 Medication Policy, students may carry and self-‐administer asthma medication or Epi pens at school. An Asthma Inhaler/Epi pen Request form needs to be completed yearly with the physician’s signature. This form can also be obtained in the school health office or on the school or district website. Each student should carry his/her inhaler/Epi pen in its original pharmacy labeled container with the student’s name, the drug name and exact dosage, and the time in which the medication is to be taken. As with any medication, inhalers/Epi pens should not be shared with other students. UPDATING PHONE NUMBERS: Please remember to call the attendance office to report any phone number changes. Having accurate information in an emergency is vital. Students that need to go home due to illness or injury will not be excused without permission from a parent/guardian or emergency contact. VISITS TO THE NURSE: Any students coming to the nurse need to have a pass from their current class. If it is a passing period, the student needs to get a pass from the class they will be starting. The only exceptions are in an emergency (bleeding, feeling lightheaded, etc.) or if they are have a study on campus or lunch. It is at the nurse’s discretion if a student is allowed to rest during class. Many things are taken into account (reason for request, grades, attendance, previous visits to the nurse, etc.) One of the goals of the health office is to treat the student so they can function at their best while allowing optimal time for learning by reducing out of classroom time.

Dear Parent(s)/ Guardian(s), We are proud to invite you to our Fall Open House at Elk Grove High School on Wednesday, September 14, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. This is one of the most important and beneficial evenings of the school year, and we urge all Elk Grove families to take advantage. Ours is a great school, filled with people who care about your students, and we want to share what we do with you. We are eager to partner with you…please take advantage of this unique chance to meet with our staff and learn about EGHS! During the evening, you will have an opportunity to follow an abbreviated version of your student’s schedule. During class presentations, teachers will provide you with an overview of each course, including course objectives and the resources used in class. Grading information, important projects/assignments, homework expectations, supplies needed, and teacher contact information will also be shared. In addition to visiting with each of your child’s teachers, you will be able to attend special presentations targeted for parents of each class. The presentations will include information you need to know as a parent of a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior student. These presentations will be repeated each lunch hour – periods 4, 5, and 6. An Open House schedule, which includes the locations of the class presentations, is included with this mailing. Please plan to attend the appropriate presentation during your child’s lunch hour. Class periods are ten minutes in length with a five-minute passing period. Please remember to bring your student’s schedule with you on Open House night. At any time during the evening you may see your child’s counselor and visit one of the tables in the Main Hallway, set up for our Parent Teacher Council and Grenadier Athletic Boosters. On Open House night, our Parent Teacher Council (PTC) will be distributing the EGHS Student / Parent Phone and Address directory to parents who have paid the PTC $20.00 membership fee. If you have not yet joined our PTC or our Grenadier Athletic Boosters, you will have a chance to sign up on the night of Open House. Bring a check for $20.00 for PTC and/or $25.00 for GAB (Grenadier Athletic Boosters). Please note that our Open House format is not the appropriate setting for individual conferences regarding student progress. Parents who desire a personal conference with a teacher should arrange for one at a later date. We look forward to meeting with you Wednesday, September 14th. Please arrive by 6:45 p.m. so that you have adequate time to find your student’s 1st period classroom. Best Regards, Paul Kelly Megan Knight Kyle Burritt Principal Associate Principal Associate Principal

CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES IN THE CLASSROOM
Township High School District 214’s primary mission is to enable all students to learn the skills, acquire the knowledge, and develop the behaviors necessary for them to reach their full potential as citizens who can meet the challenges of a changing society. In a democracy that openly confronts acute and pressing political, social, economic, and moral problems, it is likely that such issues will be evident in classrooms. Discussions about these issues provide students with the type of learning experience that will help prepare them to meet the challenges of a global changing society. District 214 provides its parents/guardians an opportunity to grant or refuse permission for their son or daughter to participate in a class activity or to request an alternative assignment when study materials are deemed controversial. Parents/guardians with concerns regarding controversial issues, materials, and curricula should contact the school’s principal/designee. The administration has established guidelines, procedures, and safeguards for an unbiased, impartial handling of controversial issues in the classroom.
DISTRICT 214 HAS AN APP! Want on-‐the-‐go information from District 214? There’s an app for that! The District has officially launched a free iPhone and Android supported app that gives you mobile-‐friendly access to District 214 news and school information. Among other features, the new app offers a password-‐activated Contact Manager feature that lets parents, students and staff opt in to receive text messages in the case of closings or school emergency situations. To set up the text service, visit www.d214.org/cm.pdf. You’ll need your student’s school ID# and one of the phone numbers on record in order to opt in. The app also features easy access to District 214’s growing social media presence through clickable links to official Twitter, Flickr and Facebook feeds; maps; links to the Board of Education and employee contact pages of District 214’s website; and links to all District 214 school and alternative program pages. The goal is to provide even better communication through the use of innovative technology – already a staple in our classrooms. This new app allows us to meet you where you’re at and deliver relevant information as it’s needed. The District 214 app is available for free download through Google Play and iTunes by searching for High School District 214.
ACCESS TO THE SCHOOL ELEVATOR
If your son/daughter needs the temporary use of an elevator card due to a medical condition, the card can be obtained from the school nurse, Ms. Sczepanski. If the card is lost or not returned, there will be a $25 fine. Abuse of the elevator will result in consequences. If you have any questions, the nurse can be reached at 847-‐718-‐4473 or at [email protected].

New Educator Prep Program Focuses on Building Educators: More than 25 District 214 students have publicly signed a formal commitment to Educator Prep, a new program designed to identify and empower future teachers. In a May signing ceremony mirroring those for college-‐bound athletes, the students, representing schools across District 214, stepped on stage and signed letters of intent.
The program is a collaboration between District 214, local elementary districts, college partners -‐-‐ specifically Northeastern Illinois and National Louis universities -‐-‐ and the national organization Educators Rising, whose co-‐director attended the event. Dan Domenech, executive director of AASA, The School Superintendents Association, also attended the event and spoke about the importance of the new initiative.
The program is aimed at supporting students who will eventually return to this community as the next generation of educators. Next year, approximately 900 District 214 students will be enrolled in the Educator Prep pathway taking specific courses toward future careers as teachers. They will have access to dual-‐credit opportunities at partner colleges, classroom observation and internship opportunities in area schools, and -‐-‐ for those who continue with and complete the college program -‐-‐ specific professional development and guaranteed student-‐teaching positions in District 214 or a partner elementary district, with the promise of a job interview if openings exist.
“We have a crisis in this country in terms of teacher recruitment,” Brown of Educators Rising said. “The eyes of the teaching profession are on this district.”
To support the program financially, including through scholarships or stipends for participating students at the college level, contact Erin Brooks, Executive Director of the District 214 Education Foundation, at [email protected] or 847-‐718-‐7688.
Save the Date - Decision 2016 - Panel Discussion: District 214 this fall will host political journalists and consultants at a pre-‐election political forum, allowing community members a free opportunity to review the issues and trends at the heart of the 2016 United States Presidential campaign. The forum is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, September 20 in the theater of the Forest View Educational Center, 2121 S. Goebbert Road in Arlington Heights. Panelists will include Eric Adelstein, former State Director of Illinois’ 1992 Clinton/Gore campaign and founding partner of AL Media -‐-‐ one of the nation’s leading Democratic media companies; Pat Brady, former chairman of the Illinois Republican Party and now a consultant with Next Generation Public Strategies, a government affairs and media relations firm; and Natasha Korecki, a senior reporter for POLITICO who authors Illinois Playbook. She previously worked as chief political writer at the Chicago Sun-‐Times, covering state, national and city politics.

ASBESTOS HAZARD EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACT In accordance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the Illinois Asbestos Abatement Act (105 ILCS 105/), you are being notified that all District 214 facilities contain various amounts and types of asbestos-‐containing building materials (ACBM). These materials do not pose any hazard to individuals unless the materials are disturbed. The District maintains compliance with all applicable governmental and regulatory asbestos rules and regulations. The District also maintains compliance with the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) guidelines for operations and maintenance activities. The District routinely performs operations and maintenance activities, required inspections, and surveillance activities to verify that the materials are being managed according to IDPH and CCDPH guidelines. The Building and Grounds Department of each individual facility and the District Operations Department have on file copies of the AHERA Management Plans that describe the locations of all ACBM. These Plans are available for inspection during regular business hours. Contact the Director of Operations for more information at (847) 718-‐7619. PESTICIDE APPLICATION NOTIFICATION REGISTRY All District 214 facilities practice Integrated Pest Management to minimize the use of any pesticides on school grounds. The Structural Pest Control Act (225 ILCS 235/) and the Lawn Care Products Application and Notice Act (415 ILCS 65/) requires public schools to notify parents/guardians and school employees at least 48 hours (two business days) prior to any pesticide applications on school grounds. The term “pesticide” includes insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides and fungicides. The notification requirement extends to both indoor and outdoor pesticide applications. Excluded from the notification requirement are antimicrobials such as disinfectants, sanitizers or deodorizers, insecticide baits and rodenticide baits. Pesticide application notification can be included in newsletters, bulletins, calendars and/or other correspondence currently published by each school and the District. All District 214 facilities have established a registry of individuals who wish to be specifically notified of pesticide applications on school grounds. To be included in this registry, please contact your student’s individual school or program for more information.

March 2, 2016 Dear Parent/Guardian and Staff Members: In 1999 the Illinois General Assembly passed laws requiring that public schools notify parents/guardians and school employees at least 48 hours prior to any pesticide applications on school property. The term “pesticide” includes insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides, and fungicides. The notification requirement extends to both indoor and outdoor pesticide applications. Excluded from the notification requirement are antimicrobial agents (such as disinfectants, sanitizers, or deodorizers), insecticide baits, and rodenticide baits. Elk Grove High School has therefore established a registry of people who wish to be notified. To be included in this registry for school year 2016-17, please complete the form below and submit it to the Buildings and Grounds Supervisor at your school. Any other questions you may have regarding the District’s pest management practices may also be directed to Ted Birren at 847-718-7619.

Parent Teacher Council (PTC) News
Whether you are brand new to the Elk Grove High School community or a returning family, the EGHS Parent-‐Teacher Counsel (PTC) welcomes you to the 2016-‐2017 school year! Our role here at the school is to support the many student-‐based activities, clubs and events that are otherwise not covered by any other organization like EGIMA, Orchestra, Band & Choral Boosters, Familias Unidas, or GAB. Additionally, the PTC also supports teacher-‐based needs that have a direct impact on all students that otherwise are not funded through the school or d214. These various and worthwhile endeavors by the PTC directly relate and translate into a favorable student experience here at Elk Grove High School, and go directly to improving their academic, extracurricular and life chances. In order to fund these many projects, we hold just one event each year on the first Sunday in November – our annual Holiday Sampler Craft and Vendor Show. If you are not aware of our event or have never attended this show, here is a short video produced by Mr. Bruce Janu and the EGHS Film Club that demonstrates why it has become a focal point and destination for both attendees and crafters from as far away as Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin: https://youtube/ScIFhNrOUxc. This event takes significant planning and support to execute. We need you! Please consider volunteering just a couple hours of your time to the PTC on this one Sunday in November for the purpose of maintaining our event’s success and allowing the PTC to continue funding the many initiatives we support for our students. To meet your 2016-‐2017 Executive Board, find more information on the PTC and our monthly meeting schedule, and to see how you can volunteer at our Holiday Sampler Craft and Vendor show, please visit our page on the EGHS website: http://eghs.d214.org/parents/parent-‐teacher-‐council/. It takes a Nation to support our student’s success, and the PTC welcomes you to become an active part of the PTC and our Elk Grove High School Parent Nation!

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL POST PROM EVENT AT PINSTRIPES!
On Friday, June 3rd, approximately 180 students and ten chaperones boarded four coach buses immediately after Prom for the Post Prom event at Pinstripes Bowling, Bocce & Bistro in South Barrington. Our students enjoyed luxury bowling, played bocce ball on both the indoor and outdoor courts, danced to the music and lights of Stax O Wax DJ Entertainment, made memories with Photo Booth Time and Celebration Authority Karaoke and relaxed with friends around the outdoor fire pit. Delicious selections of food and beverages were continuously served throughout the evening. Thanks to the Committee’s hard work to help offset the costs for this after-‐party event, we have been able to keep the student ticket cost the same for the past several years at $30.00 per person. We extend our sincerest thanks to all the EGHS families who made donations to the Post Prom event. Our gratitude to the many local businesses and organizations who also donated to our event this year. We appreciate their support of this safe, enjoyable after party for our students. Please show your appreciation by continuing to support these local businesses and organizations:
My sincerest thanks and appreciation to this special committee who gave so much of their time throughout the school year to ensure this event would be a success! Thank you to: Colleen Cloherty, Grace LoBianco, Carl Moellenkamp, Jean Miceli, Nancy Rathman and Dianne Sprenger. Lastly, thank you very much to Mr. Bob Murphy, EGHS Assistant Principal and Committee Administrative Liaison, and his staff for the generous assistance they provided to our Committee throughout the year. The Post Prom Committee is seeking new volunteers to coordinate the 2017 Post Prom event. This is a wonderful, rewarding committee to be involved with, as our students look forward to Post Prom all school year. Please contact Pam Leone at [email protected] for more information.
Thank you!
