Welcome to 3rd trimester health!

The following letter was sent home with students today and should be returned next week!

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!

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. My blog site is: www.lakeviewhealth.blogspot.com

I am looking forward to an excellent trimester working with your child! Please sign and return the bottom half of this letter indicating that you have read the parent letter by Wednesday.

Thank you!
Andrea Conley

February 11th.

We are getting close to the end of second trimester. All late and missing work needs to be turned in by next week for credit!

The sixth graders are wrapping up the Body System unit. They will be receiving a study guide today. We will review the study guide and the unit test and folder check will be on Tuesday!

The seventh graders are finishing the Drug and Alcohol unit. They will have their unit test and folder check on Wednesday.

The eighth graders have had the opportunity to participate in the Amplify sexuality education program this week. It has been a great week filled with learning and great conversation! We will continue to work in the Gameplan Abstinence program books next week.

Have a great weekend and stay warm! :)
