Start of new trimester Monday

Dear Parents,

Hello! My name is Andrea Conley and I am your child’s health teacher this trimester. As an encore teacher, I have the privilege of working with many students for all three years that they attend Lakeview. This is my eighth year at the school and I love it here! I am a graduate of the health education program at Northern Illinois University and have a Master's degree in teaching and leadership from St. Xavier University. In addition, I am very involved in extra-curricular programs at Lakeview.

Many parents and students have questions and concerns regarding the sometimes “touchy” issues that my class covers. You are welcome to review the health curriculum by going to: http://www.ccsd66.org/health.htm Additionally, your child will be responsible for keeping up with a class folder. Feel free to take a look in their folder at any time for an update on our class work. I encourage discussions at home regarding the subject matter we are covering in class.

My late work policy is as follows:
*1 day late = 25% off the grade
* 2+ days late = 50% off the grade
* Students have until the end of the lesson/chapter/unit to turn in the assignment at which point the grade will become a 0 if not turned in.

If you have any questions or would like additional information at any time during the trimester, please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail me. You can contact me at aconley@ccsd66.org or 985-2700 x5013. Also, check out my blog if you get a chance! I post important class updates and information weekly.

Last week of the trimester!

Next Friday, November 12th is the last day of the trimester. I have greatly enjoyed working with my 1st trimester classes but am looking forward to meeting new students.

The sixth grade classes have the final test on Monday. They should be fully prepared after discussing and reviewing a very in-depth study guide. The final folder check is Monday as well.

The seventh graders had their final test today. There are several students missing work. As a reminder, the final day to turn in late work is Wednesday.

The eighth grade classes are finishing the teen parent projects. The students have greatly enjoyed these projects... ask them about it!

End of 1st trimester

It's hard to believe, but 1st trimester is rapidly coming to an end. The last day of the trimester is November 12th. All late or missing assignments must be turned into me by Wednesday, November 10th in order to be counted towards student grades!
