ROLLING MEADOWS HIGH SCHOOL
Principal’s Message
Welcome to the 2015-2016 New School Year!
Dear Mustang Families:
The start of a new school year is here and we are energized and ready to welcome students and staff back to
school for the 2015-2016 school year! I hope you have all had an enjoyable summer break and have taken the
necessary time to enjoy family, friends, and the warmth that summer brings. For our families that may be new
to Rolling Meadows High School, WELCOME!
Rolling Meadows High School has a climate of high expectations. We pride ourselves on providing students with
a comprehensive and high quality educational experience that supports a student’s development academically,
socially, emotionally, co-curricularly, and in the development of applied skills and intellectual habits of the mind.
We look forward to supporting students find success throughout this year in our caring school community. There
has been no greater time to be a prideful Mustang!
I want to share a few academic updates that will be new to Rolling Meadows High School this year. This is our
fourth year in offering the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) elective program. In 2016 we
will have our first class of seniors to graduate from this national program that supports students that are the first
generation in their families to graduate from a college or university. We are excited to be offering a Business
Incubator Entrepreneur course that will connect students to business leaders and partners in our community as
they design and develop their own ideas and business concepts. We are also proud to be offering a Graphics Arts
2 course where students can earn dual college credit as they create and construct projects with real-world context,
utilize of a variety of computer programs, and tap into their artistic and creative talents. We are piloting a course
called Geometry in Construction this year to authentically connect the math skills and content of geometry with
applied skills and three-dimensional learning in a collaborative setting. We hope to see this course grow and
expand for the 2016 - 2017 school year. The last academic update I wish to inform you about is that we are
offering a capstone course in the PLTW program called Principals of Engineering. This course will connect our
manufacturing, technical innovation, and engineering course offerings. This is going to be an exciting year and I
am thrilled to support these new curricular opportunities and to watch students flourish and grow academically.
In order to increase academic success, we encourage students to take advantage of the Seminar Block, afterschool tutoring, and Saturday Success Academy. We encourage students to complete homework assignments
on time and to be persistent in their studies. We want students to be on time to school and prepared for classes.
We encourage students to reach out to their counselors for academic advising, as well as social and emotional
support when needed. Lastly, we encourage each student to be involved in at least one co-curricular and/or Fine
Arts activity in the school. There are many opportunities for students to be involved in and connected with the
high school. We want every student to be successful at Rolling Meadows High School, and these are a few of
the ways to help ensure that success.
Please read through this newsletter to learn more about the new events calendar, guidelines for dropping a course,
the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), the Community Outreach and Engagement Parent Tech Conference and
the Foundation for the Future golf and dinner event, and so much more.
I look forward to welcoming the students back to school on August 26th as we begin another successful school
year at Rolling Meadows High School. It will be great to see the talented students once again in the classroom
setting, as well as participating in Fine and Performing Arts, athletic, and co-curricular activities.
Sincerely,
Eileen M. Hart, Principal

Mensaje Del Director
¡Bienvenidos al nuevo año escolar 2015-2016!
Estimadas familias mustang:
¡El comienzo del nuevo año escolar esta aquí y estamos llenos de energía y listos a darles la bienvenida a la
escuela a los estudiantes y al personal del año escolar 2015-2016! Espero todos hayan tenido un verano agradable
y que hayan tomado el tiempo necesario para disfrutar a la familia, a las amistades y el calor que el verano trae.
Para nuestras familias nuevas a la escuela Rolling Meadows High School, ¡Bienvenidos!
Rolling Meadows High School tiene un ambiente de altas expectativas. Nos enorgullecemos en proporcionar a los
estudiantes una experiencia educacional comprensiva y de alta calidad que apoya el desarrollo de un estudiante
académicamente, socialmente, emocionalmente, con programas extracurriculares y en el desarrollo de habilidades
aplicadas y hábitos intelectuales de la mente. Esperamos durante todo este año apoyar a los estudiantes en
encontrar éxito en nuestra comunidad escolar. ¡No ha habido un mejor momento de ser un mustang orgulloso!
Quiero compartir unos cuantos cambios académicos que serán nuevos este año a Rolling Meadows High School.
Este es nuestro cuarto año en ofrecer el programa electivo AVID (Adelanto Vía Determinación Individual). En el
2016 tendremos nuestra primera clase de seniors graduarse de este programa nacional que apoya a estudiantes que
son de la primera generación en sus familias en graduarse de una universidad. Estamos emocionados de ofrecer un
curso de Empresario de Negocios que conectara estudiantes a lideres y socios de negocios en nuestra comunidad a
medida que diseñan y desarrollan ideas y conceptos de negocios. También estamos orgullosos de ofrecer un curso
de Artes Graficas 2 donde estudiantes pueden ganar crédito universitario creando y construyendo proyectos con
un contenido al mundo real utilizando una variedad de programas computerizadas y aprovechando sus talentos
artísticos y creativos. Este año vamos a experimentar con un curso llamado Geometría en Construcción para
conectar auténticamente las habilidades de matemáticas y contenido de geometría con habilidades aplicadas y
aprendizaje tridimensional en un arreglo colaborativo. Esperamos ver este curso crecer y expandirse para el año
escolar 2016-2017. El ultimo cambio académico que quiero informarles es que estamos ofreciendo un curso
culminante en el programa PLTW llamado Principios de Ingeniería. Este curso conectara nuestros cursos de
fabricación, innovación técnica e ingeniería. Este va a ser un año emocionante y estoy muy emocionada de apoyar
estas oportunidades de cursos nuevos y de ver a estudiantes prosperar y crecer académicamente.
Para poder incrementar éxito académico, animamos a los estudiantes de tomar provecho del periodo de seminario,
tutoría después de la escuela y la academia de éxito los sábados. Animamos a los estudiantes de completar las
tareas a tiempo y ser persistentes en sus estudios. Queremos que los estudiantes llegan a tiempo a la escuela
y que estén preparados para clases. Animamos a los estudiantes a buscar a sus consejeros para asesoramiento
académico, así como también para apoyo social y emocional cuando lo necesiten. Finalmente, animamos a cada
estudiante de involucrase en la escuela por lo menos en una actividad extracurricular y/o en una actividad de las
artes finas. Hay muchas oportunidades para los estudiantes de involucrarse y conectarse con la escuela. Queremos
que cada estudiante tenga éxito en Rolling Meadows High School y estas son unas pocas maneras de ayudarse a
tener éxito.
Porfavor lean este boletín de noticias para aprender más sobre el nuevo calendario de eventos, las guías de cómo
darse de baja de un curso, la organización de padres y maestros (PTO), el acercamiento a la comunidad y la
conferencia de participación de padres en tecnología y el evento de golf y cena para la Fundación para el Futuro
y mucho más.
Espero darle la bienvenida a los estudiantes regresando a la escuela el 26 de agosto a medida que comenzamos
otro año escolar exitoso en Rolling Meadows High School. Será increíble vera a los estudiantes talentosos
otra vez en el ambiente escolar, así como también participando en las artes finas, en deportes y en actividades
extracurriculares.
Atentamente,
Eileen M. Hart, Directora

INFORMATION REGARDING “NO CHILD
LEFT BEHIND”
AND ROLLING MEADOWS HIGH SCHOOL
INFORMACIÓN SOBRE “QUE NINGÚN NIÑO
SE QUEDE ATRÁS”
Y ROLLING MEADOWS HIGH SCHOOL
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (better known
as No Child Left Behind or NCLB) is a federal law meant
to ensure that all school children, whatever their economic
background, can achieve high academic standards. Because
of this law, Rolling Meadows High School receives funding
from the federal government in the form of Title I and
Title II-A grants. The Title I grant is awarded to the school
based on the number of low-income students enrolled. This
grant supports programs for children who are at risk of
failing. The Title II-A grant helps pay for teacher training
and professional development. Title grant funding covers
part of the cost of programs at Rolling Meadows such as
supplementary tutoring, AVID college readiness, field trips
to college campuses, and parent outreach meetings.
La Ley de Educación Primaria y Secundaria (mejor conocida
como Que Ningún Niño Se Quede Atrás) es legislación que
intenta asegurar que todo alumno, a pesar de sus antecedentes
económicos, pueda alcanzar altos estándares académicos.
Gracias a esta ley, Rolling Meadows High School recibe
fondos del gobierno federal en la forma de subvenciones
llamadas Título I y Título II-A. La subvención Título I se
otorga a la escuela a base del número de alumnos de bajos
recursos. Este subsidio apoya programas para niños a riesgo
de reprobar. La subvención Título II-A ayuda a pagar por el
entrenamiento y desarrollo profesional de maestros. Estos
subsidios federales cubren parte del costo de programas
en Rolling Meadows tales como la tutoría suplementaria,
el curso de preparación universitaria AVID, excursiones a
recintos universitarios, y reuniones de enlace familiar.
The NCLB law says that you can ask for information about
the professional qualifications of your child’s classroom
teachers, including licensing and academic degrees. You also
have the right to know whether your child is being provided
services by paraprofessionals and what their qualifications
are. We are pleased to report all teachers in District 214
are highly qualified, as defined by the Illinois State Board
of Education. Highly qualified teachers have a bachelor’s
degree or higher and a state teaching license. In addition, for
each core subject area of teaching responsibility, all teachers
have either passed a content-area test or completed a college
degree in that subject. All paraprofessionals are endorsed by
the state as paraprofessional educators, having completed at
least 60 semester hours of college credit or the equivalent.
La ley Que Ningún Niño Se Quede Atrás dice que Ud. puede
pedir información sobre las cualificaciones de los maestros
de su hijo/a, incluso sus licencias y títulos universitarios.
Ud. también tiene el derecho de saber si su hijo/a está
recibiendo servicios de un paraprofesional (ayudante) y qué
son sus cualificaciones. Nos da gusto informarle que todos
los maestros en el Distrito 214 son altamente cualificados,
según la definición de la Junta Educativa del Estado de
Illinois. Los maestros altamente cualificados tienen al
menos una licenciatura (bachelor’s degree) y una licencia
estatal de enseñanza. Además, para cada asignatura principal
que el maestro enseña, él/ella ha aprobado un examen estatal
o ha completado un título universitario en aquella materia.
Todos los paraprofesionales son aprobados por el estado
como educadores para-profesionales, habiendo terminado
al menos 60 horas de estudio universitario o el equivalente.
Rolling Meadows High School and District 214 encourage
you to become involved in your child’s education by
attending parent-teacher conferences and by joining groups
such as the Parent Teacher Organization and the Latino
Parent Outreach Committee. You may find a schedule of
parent activities elsewhere in this newsletter and on the
school website. You can also support your child’s learning
by monitoring attendance, ensuring that homework is
completed, and avoiding distractions such as television and
internet. It is district policy that parents, staff and students
share the responsibility for improved academic achievement.
Rolling Meadows High School y el Distrito 214 lo alienta
a involucrarse en la educación de su hijo/a por asistir a
conferencias individuales con sus maestros y por unirse
a grupos como el Comité para Padres Latinos y la Parent
Teacher Organization. Ud. puede encontrar un calendario de
actividades para padres en este boletín y en el sitio web de
la escuela. También puede apoyar el aprendizaje de su hijo/a
por vigilar su asistencia a clase, asegurar que complete sus
tareas, y evitar distracciones como televisión e internet.
Es la norma del distrito que los padres, el personal y los
alumnos comparten la responsabilidad de mejorar los logros
académicos.
Thank you and have a wonderful school year.
Gracias y tenga un maravilloso año escolar.

Upcoming Events
American School Counselor Association
Model
RMHS Counselors base their practices off of the national model provided by
the American School Counselor Association (ASCA). This model allows the
school counseling program
to be a collaborative effort
amongst students, staff,
parents and the community.
We use the model as a
framework
to
develop
everything from classroom
lessons to small group
curriculum.
A large piece of the ASCA
model is the collection and
utilization of data to drive
our
programs
and
determine
their
effectiveness. This school
year, we plan to document our counseling program through an application to
be a Recognized ASCA Model Program. The RAMP designation is a highly
sought after recognition throughout the school counseling community and
proves that school counseling programs are comprehensive and data-driven.
The application will be submitted in October of 2016.
Latino Summit
Harper College will host their Latino Summit on November 20th. This all day
event draws Latino freshmen from 13 local high schools and works to instill the
value of higher education and the importance of sticking with school. Activities
include a motivational speech and professional and student panels.

Guideline for Dropping a Course
A student must have the approval of his/her parent or guardian to drop a course and must process the request for
withdrawal with his/her counselor. Once a semester begins, the following rules apply:
1. If a student drops a course on or before the 15th day (not including holidays, institute, and non-attendance
days), no record of the course appears on the student’s transcript.
2. Students who drop a course between the 16th and 30th school day (not including holidays, institute,
and non-attendance days) will have the course title and a grade of “W” (withdrawn) recorded on their
transcript. (Note: “W” grades are not included in computing grade point average and do not affect honor
roll eligibility.)
3. Students who drop a course on or after 31 school days (not including holidays, institute, and nonattendance days) a grade of “WF” (withdrawn failing) is recorded on the student’s transcript.
4. If the administration, any time after the end of the 31st school day (not including holidays, institute, and
non-attendance days), drops a student from a course, the course title and a grade of “F” (failing) are
recorded on the student’s transcript.
5. “WF” and “F” grades are included in computing grade point averages and negatively impact honor roll
eligibility.
6. Students who drop a course will be added to Study Hall. Students are allowed only one Study Hall.
There are openings available for the Rolling Meadows High School MiniMustangs Preschool Afternoon Program beginning February 2016 for children
ages three to five. The Mini Mustangs meet every Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday 1:15-2:45.
High school teachers are trained to offer all students a high-quality education in a
caring environment. The program prides itself on a one-to-one student to teacher
ratio, which offers individualized attention to each preschooler. The Mini-Mustang
Preschool also provides inclusive education for students with special needs.
The cost is $100 per child. Scholarships available for those with special needs or
financial difficulties. Parents may register their child for the afternoon program
session by contacting preschool director, Angela Kumler (847) 718-5893 or
[email protected].

FOOD ALLERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Dear Parents,
Welcome back to school year 2015/2016! I hope that you all enjoyed your summer!
Township High School District 214 adopted a Food Allergy Management Program. The program is
comprehensive and addresses the responsibilities of parents/guardians, students, administration,
classroom teachers, outside of classroom activity sponsors, food service, maintenance, transportation and
nursing personnel. On our Institute Day I will review the highlights of this program and staff guidelines
with our certified personnel.
To ensure the safety of all students and staff, food allergy management must entail a team approach.
Following is a brief summary of parent and student responsibilities.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Inform the nurse of your child’s allergies prior to the beginning of the school year (or as soon as
possible after a diagnosis).
Complete and return to the nurse the completed Food Allergy Emergency Action Plan, and the
Township High School District 214 Self Administration of Epipen request form.
Participate in team meetings as necessary.
Provide the school with up to date epinephrine auto-injectors.
Provide a list of foods and ingredients to avoid.
Consider providing a medical alert bracelet.
Be willing to go on your child’s field trips or participate in class events, if possible and if
requested.
Discuss emergency procedures with District Transportation Coordinator, as necessary.
Inform coaches and after school activity sponsors of your child’s allergies and specific needs.
Provide a copy of the Food Allergy Action Plan to your child’s coaches, after school activity
sponsors, and transportation personnel.
Please teach your child to:
• Recognize the first symptoms of an allergic/anaphylactic reaction.
• Notify an adult as soon as exposure occurs or symptoms appear.
• Know where the epinephrine auto-injector is kept and who has access.
• Communicate clearly as soon as he/she feels a reaction starting.
• Carry his/her own epinephrine auto-injector when appropriate.
• Avoid sharing or trading snacks, lunches or drinks.
• Understand the importance of hand washing before and after eating.
• Report teasing, bullying and threats to an adult authority.
• Request ingredient information for any food offered. If food is not labeled or if child is unsure of
the ingredients, the child should politely decline the food being offered.
• Become a self-advocate.
• Develop a relationship with the nurse and assist in identifying issues related to the management
of the allergy in school.
With a team approach we will keep everyone safe!

Mrs. Green (847) 718-5661
Mr. Yerkan (847) 718-5660
Welcome back to Rolling Meadows High School (RMHS) and the 2015 – 2016 school year! We are looking forward to
working with this year’s seniors and, beginning in November, this year’s juniors. This section of the parent newsletter will
share information about programs and events, which are provided for parents and students, as well as other information
that can be helpful in the college and career search and selection process.
The first D214 College Counselor sponsored program for the 2015 - 2016 school year is the annual “University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) Information Night” for seniors and parents/guardians of seniors. The program will be held on
Wednesday, September 2 in the Forest View Educational Center (FVEC) Theatre, located at 2121 South Goebbert Road in
Arlington Heights. An admissions representative from UIUC will present this informative program highlighting the school,
its programs and the application process. This program is always well attended so plan to arrive early.
The first program, sponsored by the staff of the CCR this year, will be the Senior Curriculum Program, which is scheduled
during PE classes on September 8 and 9. The program will address the application process, how to use the CCR, how
to find scholarships and other useful information and will include a question and answer forum to address any student
concerns. The sessions held for seniors will be followed by an evening program for parents/guardians of seniors, which
will be held on Tuesday, September 15, in the Rolling Meadows High School Theatre, beginning at 7 PM. The evening
program will review the program presented to seniors and will also allow the opportunity for those in attendance to ask
questions and visit the CCR. Parents in attendance will also receive a copy of their senior’s transcript.
On Thursday, September 10, the CCR will be hosting a presentation on college essay writing. The program will take place
during Seminar in the RMHS Theatre. Seniors, and any interested juniors, are encouraged to attend. Veronica Hauad, an
admissions counselor at the University of Chicago, will conduct the presentation.
College fairs can be a great way to gather information about colleges – especially colleges that are farther away and more
difficult to visit. One fair that I would especially encourage students and families to consider attending is the National
Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) fair, which will be held at Navy Pier on Saturday, September 26,
from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. If it works better for your schedule, a similar fair will be held in Milwaukee, at the Wisconsin
Center, on Sunday, September 27, from 12:00 to 3:00 PM. For a list of nearby fall fairs, and other events, visit:
http://rmhs.d214.org/college_resources/college_resources_calendar.aspx
Districts 211, 214, and 220 will be hosting their annual Directions Fair on Tuesday, September 29, at the FVEC from 6:00
– to 8:30 PM. The Directions Fair is dedicated to assisting families as they begin their investigation into the many postsecondary opportunities available to their son/daughter with special needs. In addition to several informational sessions,
representatives from a number of post secondary institutions will be in attendance to discuss their programs with interested
students and families. For more information visit:
http://www.d214.org/district-departments/directions-special-needs-fair/
Is your student exploring career options or in need of some direction? Consider attending one of three D214 Career Nights.
The first night, Arts and Communication and Human Services, will be held on Wednesday, October 6 from 6:30 to 9:00 PM
at Elk Grove High School.
16
College and Career Room (Continued)
The second career night, Health and Natural Resources, will be held on Wednesday, October 28 from 6:30 to 9:00 PM at
Prospect High School. To see a schedule of the 15-16 Career Nights, or for more information visit:
http://www.d214.org/educational_services/career_nights.aspx
The next D214 College Counselor evening presentation, geared toward freshmen, sophomores, and their parents, will be
held on Thursday, October 15, in the FVEC Theatre beginning at 7:00 PM. The program is called “So You Want To Go To
College?” and will review what students and parents could be doing early in the high school experience in anticipation of
continuing on to college.
You are encouraged to visit the CCR web page to find a great deal of useful information about the CCR, including available
services and resources related to the college search and funding process. Also available on the website is information about
the military branches, trade/vocational links as well as links to many other useful sites. You can access the webpage by
going to:
http://rmhs.d214.org/college_resources/default.aspx
Go to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS) to see if some of the questions you may have can be answered there. If you have
any other questions that you think should be added, or have any other comments about our web page, please let us know.
Parents of seniors – please encourage your senior to share with you, and to utilize, all the features of the Family Connection
by Naviance Program. Seniors can log onto their account by going to the CCR webpage or by going to:
https://connection.naviance.com/fc/signin.php?hsid=rollingmeadows
There are many features students can access and utilize once they are in their account. Some examples include doing a
college search, checking for local scholarships or monitoring the status of their applications (on the RM end).
Parents of juniors – please be aware that the State of Illinois may no longer be funding an ACT test date of all high school
juniors to take during the school day, as they have in the past. Since most schools require an ACT it is important that
your junior register for at least one ACT test date (I typically encourage students to take at least two, one in April and one
in June). PLEASE BE AWARE that available seats for test sites fill up quickly and that only four (September, October,
February and June) of the scheduled 2015-16 tests will be offered at RMHS. Last June some students had to drive to
Wisconsin to take the ACT test since all the nearby Illinois sites were full. Avoid finding yourself in that predicament and
register early. For a list of ACT test dates visit:
http://www.actstudent.org/regist/dates.html

Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act
Controversial Issues in the Classroom
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.
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.
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) 7187619.
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.
Credential Exchange Program
To better protect students, staff, and visitors, a credential
exchange program was implemented at all District 214
buildings during school hours. All visitors are required
to present a valid driver’s license or another government
issued photo I.D. in exchange for a visitor’s badge. Your
driver’s license will be scanned into a visitor management
system, which screens for registered sex offenders. A
visitor’s badge with your photo will be printed for you
to wear while inside the building. Your credential will be
returned when you give back the visitor’s badge.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation as
we work together to maintain a safe and orderly learning
environment. If you have any questions, please contact
one of the school’s deans.

This fall, District 214 is
partnering with the Indian
Trails Public Library
District for the Big Read, a
prestigious national grant
that will unite several
communities through a
major reading initiative.
As part of the Big Read, the library and District 214 will hold several events and programs
focused on the novel Into the Beautiful North by Luís Alberto Urrea. The title was also a summer
reading selection for our students.
Here’s how you can join in the excitement!
•
Check out a copy of Into the Beautiful North from
Indian Trails or another participating
public library.
•
Request books for your local book group.
•
Register for a library-sponsored book discussion.
•
Attend one of the many free Big Read programs
and exhibits — including visits with the author on
October 6, 2015 at Indian Trails Public Library
and Harper College.
For the latest Big Read news, visit

The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the
Arts designed to revitalize the role of literature in American
culture and encourage citizens to read for pleasure and
enlightenment. The NEA presents the Big Read in partnership

School Assistant Principal Bob Murphy, a former Rolling
Green caddy, and John Hersey High School Principal
Gordon Sisson, an avid golfer – and hear from speakers
whose lives have been impacted by District 214. The Open
starts with a 10:30 registration and brunch. Shotgun start is
at noon. Prices are $250 for an individual or $1,000 for a
foursome. A Dinner-only option is also available for $75 and
includes the reception. Alumni are encouraged to join the
event for a special decade-vs.-decade foursome competition.
To register, buy raffle tickets, be a sponsor or make a taxexempt donation, visit www.d214.org/foundation, email
[email protected] or call 847-718-7708. The District
214 Education Foundation replaces the former Community
Education Foundation and funds needs District-wide, in a
time when nearly 30 percent of students are living in poverty
and the future of state funding remains uncertain.
Engage Parent Tech Conference
Our local public school districts are collaborating to host
a free, interactive Technology and Learning Conference
on Saturday, November 7, 2015. This conference is an
opportunity for district teachers to share how they use
technology in the classroom.
The conference is open to anyone with a child enrolled in
High School District 214, Community Consolidated School
District 21, Prospect Heights School District 23, Arlington
Heights School District 25, River Trails School District
26, Mount Prospect School District 57 and Community
Consolidated School District 59. Look for additional
information to be distributed by the schools closer to the
conference.
Seeking Alumni for Advisory Council
High School District 214 is launching an Alumni Advisory
Council comprising two representatives from each of our eight
original comprehensive high schools. The Council, which
will meet four to six times a year and carry an initial one-year
commitment, seeks a wide range of ages, careers and interests
and will advise on furthering and building relationships that
foster engagement and partnerships that enhance learning.
Interested alumni should email [email protected] or call
847-718-7708 for more information or an application, or for
other ways to get involved as an alum. Under the direction
of the District-level Alumni Advisory Council, we hope to
create a robust alumni presence that benefits all involved.
New Websites Launching in 2015-2016 School Year
We are excited to announce that all of our school websites
will be redesigned this year. The new sites feature a modern,
streamlined design with prominent photos, better-organized
content and more opportunities for users to get what they’re
looking for – from department contacts to news stories. The
new District 214 site www.d214.org was launched on July
1 of this year and each of the schools will be modeled after
this design.
Know an Everyday Hero in High School District 214 who
goes above and beyond? Give them a public shout out using
the #214Hero hashtag on Twitter or nominate a hero by
emailing [email protected].
Join Us! District 214 Foundation Launches with
Golf and Dinner
Parents and community members are enthusiastically invited
to help launch the District 214 Education Foundation at
the “Foundation for the Future” Golf Open and Dinner on
Monday, September 21, at Rolling Green Country Club in
Arlington Heights. The Open, in line with the Foundation’s
mission, will support student success, innovation and
lifelong learning in the District’s 10 schools and programs
across eight communities, as well as integral community
programming that impacts generations. The event features
18 holes of golf, brunch, on-course contests, a reception,
dinner, raffle and awards presentation. District 214 culinary
students will prepare on-course food, and student musicians
will provide evening entertainment. Participants will have
the opportunity to bid on caddies – including Elk Grove High
As part on an internal campaign, District 214 has been
recognizing staff who go the extra mile to make a difference
in students’ lives. Over the past year, some of these heroes
have been highlighted in short videos while others have been
awarded a “hero” sub sandwich from Jersey Mike’s.
Among the stories are staffers who built a harness to help
a wheelchair-bound student walk, a custodian with a warm
personality who brightens the day for every student and a
science teacher who goes out of her way to create science
lessons for preschool students.
Nominate a hero today and check out the conversation by
searching #214Hero on Twitter.
