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

End of year... coming soon!
The end of the school year is rapidly approaching. It is important for all students to turn in any missing or incomplete work THIS WEEK! All classes will have final folder checks and "positive thought journals" will be collected towards the end of the week as well.

8th grade AWARE program
This week in health class, the 8th grade AWARE program will take place. Students will receive this presentation during their regular health class. If a student is not in health class they will be “pulled out” of their fifth or eighth hour class during one of the trimesters for this four day presentation.
During the four day program, several community agencies will present information on the topic of sexuality education. Topics addressed will include: Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Sexual Violence prevention, Teen Pregnancy and general decision making.
There was a parent meeting about the AWARE program that 8th grade parents were invited to in the fall. Aspects of the sexuality education program were discussed. If any parent would like further information about the program, contact Mrs. Conley.
