European Wars Tour – Spring and Summer 2016
If you enjoy learning about the First and Second World Wars, consider participating in a spring-time
European tour of the major battle sites of both wars. The tour begins in Paris, and then continues on to
Normandy and Omaha Beach, part of the D-Day invasion. You will visit the Ardennes, where major battles
of both wars occurred. Next, is Nuremberg, Hitler’s favorite place for huge Nazi Party rallies and where the
Allies brought many Nazi leaders to justice. Buchenwald Concentration Camp, one of the first and largest
camps in Germany, is also a destination stop. The tour will end in Berlin, and you will see the Reichstag,
Wannsee Villa (where the Final Solution was agreed upon), the Holocaust Memorial, Sanssouci Palace,
and more. You will also get to sit at the same table as Truman, Churchill, and Stalin as they decided
Europe’s postwar fate during the Potsdam Conference.
The tour is organized by ACIS tours and will be led by Jeff Johnston. Mr. Johnston is licensed to teach
German and social studies, and this will be his fifth trip with students to Europe. If you would like more
information about this great educational opportunity, please contact him directly. His email address
is [email protected]

Closed Campus
Glencoe High School is a closed campus. Students may not leave campus during the school day without
first checking out through the Attendance Office. Off limits areas include: the parking lots (yes, even the
student parking lot), the softball/baseball fields, the wooded area to the east, and the Plain Pantry. Students
caught in these areas are subject to being searched when they return and disciplinary action. If students ever
have a question about where they can or can't be, it is best to ask a staff member before going there.

Counselors are rounding up guidance for the end of
the year, trying to get your students all the pertinent
information for finishing their school year and
planning productivity for the summer! Here is what's
coming in the spring for guidance and information:
Incoming Freshman:
On Wednesday, May 13, the Glencoe counselors will
be presenting to current 8th grade students about
what Glencoe has to offer. The topics cover three
major areas: academics, personal/social, and career.
From this, we discuss common issues/questions that
come up and how to handle them, including different
people and resources available through Glencoe. The
goal is to get students and parents off on the right
foot as you enter our school, and inform you of places
to get help, if needed, along the way.
Sophomores:
In April, counselors will be going into Health classes
for the second time to help students with their 10th
grade Naviance activity. This will involve a brief
presentation about career clusters, the career credit
components, and what a resume is. Students will
complete the Career Cluster Activity via Naviance, and
at the end of the activity will use their results to
complete their Career-Related Learning Experience
(CRLE) Request form, which will give them a placement
for this career credit requirement sometime during
their Junior year based on career interests they state
on the form. The second half of the activity will help
students become familiar with what a resume is and
build their own. They will attach this to their CRLE
Request Form, both of which will be sent to the
Chamber of Commerce.
Juniors:
At the tail-end of the school year, Juniors will have
their last session of guidance from counselors in their
US History classes. This will cover a lot of information
regarding how to get setup for senior year, both
academically and in terms of post-secondary
planning. Topics covered will include Graduation
Requirement checks, Community Service and
Internships, College and Scholarship Applications
(including instructions for using Naviance for both),
Letters of Recommendation and Brag Sheets. Students
will complete a fillable brag sheet so they understand
the purpose and process.
