Dear Parents, Your student is enrolled in an English course for the upcoming school year. Township High School District 214’s English courses provide instruction and skill development focused on the areas of reading, writing and critical thinking skills. In the area of reading, English teachers will provide contextual and literary analysis experiences that enhance student’s personal connections to the text. A specific reading strategy included in this instruction is annotation. Annotation encourages critical reading through the use of symbols, marginal notes, essential questions, and connections both to and in the text. The process of annotation allows students to maximize these personal connections in order to create meaning, analyze, and interact with text in a way that is vital to their understanding. District 214 students will be afforded the opportunity to examine text closely and critically through the use of their own paperback novel(s). The attached list includes the title and ISBN number for the novels required for purchase in each English course at your student’s high school. Each listing indicates the semester in which the novel will be read. This will assist with your purchasing timeline. Students eligible and approved for a fee waiver will have the materials provided for them. If a course indicates “Not Applicable” there are no materials required for purchase.

Students and parents are free to purchase the listed paperback novels at any retail or online vendor, i.e., Amazon.com, in order to access the best available pricing. In an effort to provide you with options for purchase we have worked with two book vendors who have worked with the district to make inventory available for all listed materials. Multiple options are available which include in store purchase and online purchase with delivery to your home. We hope that this information is of assistance to you.

We are excited about the upcoming school year and look forward to your student’s continued learning.

Sincerely, Dr. Lazaro J. Lopez Associate Superintendent for Teaching and Learning

June, 2016 Dear Prospect High School Family: The Prospect Athletic Booster club invites you to support Prospect High School athletics. Throughout the years, the Booster Club has served to enhance the experience of the student athletes at PHS. The stated purpose of the Athletic Booster Club is to provide equitable support and assistance to the entire athletic program. Parents volunteering their time and financial assistance through membership dues and fundraising activities have accomplished this goal. Your support during the 2016-17 school year will benefit all of the student athletes. The coordinated efforts of Booster club members, parents, students, and local businesses have resulted in the following contributions this past year:

• Boys Baseball – New Dugouts • Boys Cross Country – GPS watches • Girls Golf – Cold Weather Gear • Girls and Boys Soccer – Soccer Shelter/Huts • Girls and Boys Tennis – Carts and Hoppers

For 2016-2017, we are planning several fundraising activities/events that we hope will add to your enjoyment of the Prospect experience and also benefit the athletic programs. We invite you to attend our monthly meetings: for details go to www.prospectathleticboosters.com. Our website will also have information on how to participate in the following fundraising events:

• 18th Annual Golf Outing – September 25th, 2016 • Apparel sales (various events throughout the school year) • Feeder Basketball Tournaments (December-March) • Memorial Day 5K Run

We urge you to support Prospect Athletics by becoming a Booster Member. This is a simple process incorporated into your online registration process. If you join boosters when you register your student online, you can expect a letter and 4 tickets good for home basketball and/or football games to be included with the schedule that your child picks up in August. We are always looking for new members to join the booster board so if you are interested or have any questions please feel free to contact me via email: propsectknightbooster@gmail.com or cell phone: 312-523-1704.
