MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
ATHLETIC BOOSTERS
Dear Parents,
Our Next Boosters Meeting is Tuesday,
October 6th. Please Note! The date
change and mark your calendar!
All are welcome to attend.
School safety is always a priority here at Stagg High School and District 230. We recognize that in
order for instruction to take place and be effective, students must feel that they cared for and their
safety is important to the adults entrusted with their care. There are many ways that Stagg High
School works to provide a safe environment for students, but we also recognize that parents and
students play a vital role in maintaining a safe school. No one group can do it alone, we must all
work together.
The following are safety tips and requirements that we ask all parents and students to follow while
on our campus:
Safety Coming To and From School
● Traffic on campus has improved greatly, however, entry onto the campus can be difficult,
particularly at the entrance on 111th. The entrance off of Roberts Road is also available
for student drop off.
● Give yourself enough time when driving to and from school. If everyone tries to drop off their
child at 7:50 a.m., there will be delays. Our commons area is supervised beginning at 7:30 a.m.,
so feel free to drop students off between 7:30 and 7:50 a.m.
● Students should NEVER be dropped off on the street or street side, this includes on 111th Street
and on Roberts Road.
● Students should ALWAYS cross at the crosswalk at 111th and Roberts Road, this includes students
who use the parking lot at New Beginnings Church.
● There are no U-Turns on Roberts Road.
● Students should NEVER run across 111th Street in front of the school building.
Palos Hills police will be ticketing students who do not cross at the crosswalk.
● Students must have school IDs to get on school buses.
● Cellphones are not be used in school parking lots.
Medications and Health Concerns
● Any and all prescription/over the counter medication must be kept in the nurse’s office with a
doctor’s prescription.
● Students may not carry prescription or over-the-counter medications on their person or in their
locker while at school.
● The nurse’s office must be made aware of any medical condition that requires assistance
in moving about the building.
School Building Security
● Students are required to have their IDs with them at all times.
● During school hours, all visitors must enter through the North Door Security Station.
● If you would like to meet with a staff member or administration, you must have an appointment.
Please make sure you arrange for an appointment ahead of time.

that the Marching Band, Color Guard, Band, and Choir are in full
swing and so are the Music Boosters volunteers!
The Stagg Community Organization, Stagg’s parent booster club,

meeting is Wednesday, November 18 at 6:30 p.m. in room 605 and
features options for SAT test prep available through Stagg. All who
attend the meeting will have a chance to win a fleece blanket with
the school logo. The blanket is perfect for an outdoor event or being
cozy on the couch!
We had a great start to the season! Music Booster volunteers
assisted the Marching Band and Color Guard as they marched in the
Worth Parade. The donated snacks and water were appreciated by
our performing students!
Jamboree is one of our large fund raisers that supports band, choir
and guard. It was held on September 12th with 21 bands visiting
Stagg to perform in competition.
Our heartfelt thanks go out to all who support our Band, Choir and
Guard students! You help make the Music Boosters complete.
Our next fundraiser is the Fall Craft Show the weekend of November
19th. Will you please support the Music Boosters by volunteering or
attending. Great holiday gifts await you!
Volunteers may contact us at [email protected] or the

14th at 7:00 p.m. in room 605. Do you have an idea? Let us know
we will put it on our agenda. All are welcome to attend!

students and get holiday shopping done at the same time.

together for change and to build relationships. SCO offers four scholarship opportunities to senior students of members. Membership fee is

Noteworthy Band News
September has been a busy month for the
Marching Chargers, with performances at football games, competitions, and parades.
October will prove to be just as busy, if not
even more challenging!
The Marching Chargers will perform at five
competitions* in October.
October 10 Lincoln-Way Invitational
October 17 ISU Marching Band
Championships/MahometSeymour Marching Festival
October 24 Downers Grove South Marching
Mustang Music Bowl

Afterwards, the students watch the remainder
of schools and await the awards ceremony,
prior to departing for home around 9 p.m.
The Marching Chargers invite everyone to
attend these competitions and cheer them on!
Marching Band Jamboree
The Jamboree was a tremendous success, and
was well received by all who attended. Special
thanks go to our Music Booster organization
and all of our many volunteers who put in so
much time to make our Jamboree happen!
IMEA (Illinois Music Educators Association)
Other important news in October includes the
IMEA auditions, which take place on Tuesday,
October 13th. Initially, students are selected
by the band and choir directors to audition for
their district, which is District 1. Stagg falls
under the purview of District 1, which is the
largest and most competitive of the nine districts in the state of Illinois. District I encompasses a large portion of the southwest suburbs and the entire city of Chicago. As many
as 2,000 students compete for only 600 coveted spots in the IMEA District I band, choir,
orchestra and jazz bands.
Band and Choir Concerts
October also begins the first of the four formal
concerts presented by the choir and band programs. On Wednesday, October 7th, the

Student Tardies
Punctual arrival to school and class is expected of every student. Students who arrive tardy
to class miss instruction time and interrupt lessons in progress. Please make sure that your
child arrives to school with ample time to visit
their locker, use the restroom, and arrive to
class. If a student has accumulated three
tardies during a semester, you will receive an
e-mail informing you of this. If the student
accumulates five or more tardies, s/he will

Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled to be held on Thursday,
October 15 from 12 noon until 8 p.m. This is a great opportunity to discuss with the teacher how your student is performing within a curriculum and communicate face to face ways to work on skill deficiencies.
During the entire school year, the Health office does offer
screening for vision and hearing. Signs of a hearing loss
can include the inability to tolerate loud sounds, poor
speech, speaking in a relatively loud voice, and often
hearing a ringing or buzzing sound in the ears. It is
especially important for students to lower the volume in
their iPod/music headsets and wear ear protection when
necessary. If others can hear the music from these
headsets, it is definitely too loud.
Scheduling an appointment with the teachers you would like to meet is
easy and can be accomplished in one of two ways. The format more
convenient to your personal schedule is the online scheduler.
Signs of vision problems can include frequent
headaches, squinting, sitting nearer to the television, and
holding a book or magazine closer.
Online scheduling
will be available from the school’s home page
at district.d230.org/stagg:
Friday, October 9 at 9 a.m. through
Wednesday, October 14 at 12 noon.
Phone in scheduling to 708-974-7400
will ONLY be available:
Friday, October 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Monday, October 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Phone requests for assistance with scheduling appointments
will only be taken on these days.
Links to the online website will be on each school’s homepage along
with step by step instructions that will walk you through the process.
If you need assistance with the online process, please contact the
school directly at 708-974-7400.
If you have a concern and would like to have your child
screened during the school year, please call the Health
Services Office at 708-974-7459.

while still in high school.
Financial Aid Night
Please join us Tuesday, October 6th at 7:00 p.m. in Stagg’s
Performing Arts Center for a Financial Aid presentation by
Mr. Frank Palmasani. This very informative evening will give

how to manage college costs. We encourage college bound
students and their families to attend.
ACT (American College Test)
The ACT will be given at Stagg High
School this year on October 24, 2015
and April 9, 2016. There are several
additional administrations of the ACT
on dates throughout the year; see
www.actsudent.org for details. The
ACT is usually taken in spring of the
junior year, but it may also be taken
in the fall of the senior year. This
test is used for college entrance eligibility to all colleges/universities in
Illinois and around the country.
This test is designed to measure a
student's academic achievement in
English, math, reading, and science
reasoning. Most colleges require
students to take this test and submit
their test scores to them when they
apply for admission. Most colleges
accept this test or the SAT. Students
may retake this test as many times
as they need; there is a test fee.
Students can ONLY register online at
www.actstudent.org.
Did you know that last year over 85 colleges visited Stagg High
School? There are a wide range of colleges and universities
that come to Stagg to share information and answer questions
from our students. It is a wonderful opportunity and resource
for student use. Check out the Colleges Visiting Stagg
Calendar on “Stagg’s College Homepage” located under
Guidance on the web. You can also follow us on Twitter, @aasguidance, for college-related updates, announcements,
and reminders and students can view the large calendar of
these visits in the commons at Stagg.

Noteworthy Band News
September has been a busy month for the
Marching Chargers, with performances at football games, competitions, and parades.

even more challenging!
The Marching Chargers will perform at five

October 10 Lincoln-Way Invitational
October 17 ISU Marching Band

Student Tardies
Punctual arrival to school and class is expected of every student. Students who arrive tardy
to class miss instruction time and interrupt lessons in progress. Please make sure that your
child arrives to school with ample time to visit
their locker, use the restroom, and arrive to
class. If a student has accumulated three
tardies during a semester, you will receive an
e-mail informing you of this. If the student
accumulates five or more tardies, s/he will

Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled to be held on Thursday,
October 15 from 12 noon until 8 p.m. This is a great opportunity to discuss with the teacher how your student is performing within a curriculum and communicate face to face ways to work on skill deficiencies.
During the entire school year, the Health office does offer
screening for vision and hearing. Signs of a hearing loss
can include the inability to tolerate loud sounds, poor
speech, speaking in a relatively loud voice, and often
hearing a ringing or buzzing sound in the ears. It is
especially important for students to lower the volume in
their iPod/music headsets and wear ear protection when
necessary. If others can hear the music from these
headsets, it is definitely too loud.
Scheduling an appointment with the teachers you would like to meet is
easy and can be accomplished in one of two ways. The format more
convenient to your personal schedule is the online scheduler.
Signs of vision problems can include frequent
headaches, squinting, sitting nearer to the television, and
holding a book or magazine closer.
Online scheduling
will be available from the school’s home page
at district.d230.org/stagg:
Friday, October 9 at 9 a.m. through
Wednesday, October 14 at 12 noon.
Phone in scheduling to 708-974-7400
will ONLY be available:
Friday, October 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Monday, October 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Phone requests for assistance with scheduling appointments
will only be taken on these days.
Links to the online website will be on each school’s homepage along
with step by step instructions that will walk you through the process.
If you need assistance with the online process, please contact the
school directly at 708-974-7400.
If you have a concern and would like to have your child
screened during the school year, please call the Health
Services Office at 708-974-7459.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
ATHLETIC BOOSTERS
Dear Parents,
Our Next Boosters Meeting is Tuesday,
October 6th. Please Note! The date
change and mark your calendar!
All are welcome to attend.
School safety is always a priority here at Stagg High School and District 230. We recognize that in
order for instruction to take place and be effective, students must feel that they cared for and their
safety is important to the adults entrusted with their care. There are many ways that Stagg High
School works to provide a safe environment for students, but we also recognize that parents and
students play a vital role in maintaining a safe school. No one group can do it alone, we must all
work together.
The following are safety tips and requirements that we ask all parents and students to follow while
on our campus:
Safety Coming To and From School
● Traffic on campus has improved greatly, however, entry onto the campus can be difficult,
particularly at the entrance on 111th. The entrance off of Roberts Road is also available
for student drop off.
● Give yourself enough time when driving to and from school. If everyone tries to drop off their
child at 7:50 a.m., there will be delays. Our commons area is supervised beginning at 7:30 a.m.,
so feel free to drop students off between 7:30 and 7:50 a.m.
● Students should NEVER be dropped off on the street or street side, this includes on 111th Street
and on Roberts Road.
● Students should ALWAYS cross at the crosswalk at 111th and Roberts Road, this includes students
who use the parking lot at New Beginnings Church.
● There are no U-Turns on Roberts Road.
● Students should NEVER run across 111th Street in front of the school building.
Palos Hills police will be ticketing students who do not cross at the crosswalk.
● Students must have school IDs to get on school buses.
● Cellphones are not be used in school parking lots.
Medications and Health Concerns
● Any and all prescription/over the counter medication must be kept in the nurse’s office with a
doctor’s prescription.
● Students may not carry prescription or over-the-counter medications on their person or in their
locker while at school.
● The nurse’s office must be made aware of any medical condition that requires assistance
in moving about the building.
School Building Security
● Students are required to have their IDs with them at all times.
● During school hours, all visitors must enter through the North Door Security Station.
● If you would like to meet with a staff member or administration, you must have an appointment.
Please make sure you arrange for an appointment ahead of time.
Upcoming Events:

that the Marching Band, Color Guard, Band, and Choir are in full
swing and so are the Music Boosters volunteers!
The Stagg Community Organization, Stagg’s parent booster club,
invites all parents, staff and faculty to join the group. The next
meeting is Wednesday, November 18 at 6:30 p.m. in room 605 and
features options for SAT test prep available through Stagg. All who
attend the meeting will have a chance to win a fleece blanket with
the school logo. The blanket is perfect for an outdoor event or being
cozy on the couch!
We had a great start to the season! Music Booster volunteers
assisted the Marching Band and Color Guard as they marched in the
Worth Parade. The donated snacks and water were appreciated by
our performing students!
Jamboree is one of our large fund raisers that supports band, choir
and guard. It was held on September 12th with 21 bands visiting
Stagg to perform in competition.
Our heartfelt thanks go out to all who support our Band, Choir and
Guard students! You help make the Music Boosters complete.
Our next fundraiser is the Fall Craft Show the weekend of November
19th. Will you please support the Music Boosters by volunteering or
attending. Great holiday gifts await you!

14th at 7:00 p.m. in room 605. Do you have an idea? Let us know

Book Fair Benefit
The SCO will host a book fair the afternoon of Sunday, November 15,
at Barnes & Noble, 160 Orland Park Place. Students and other Stagg

To support the book fair:
● Shop at the store during the event and bring a voucher with
Stagg’s book fair number, 11592334.
● Ask friends and relatives to shop at any Barnes & Noble
that day and use the number.

use the number.
Flyers will be available at Stagg and on SCO’s web page, and parents,
students and teachers are urged to share the information on social
media and invite others to shop. It’s an excellent way to showcase
students and get holiday shopping done at the same time.
The SCO invites anyone with a connection to Stagg, especially parents, staff and faculty, to join the organization to voice opinions, work
together for change and to build relationships. SCO offers four scholarship opportunities to senior students of members. Membership fee is
$15 per year. Parent suggestions for speakers/topics are welcome.
School safety is everyone’s business and we welcome the partnership with staff, students,
