The Big Benjamin Chess Tournament is also this Saturday. Good luck to Mauricio as he leads this event for the first time. Huge thanks to Bill and Joe as they are helping to work the event. Thanks to NJHS and Student Council for finding a few student volunteers for concessions. Thanks to Ellen for doing some data entry for me. Thanks to Leslie for helping me getting the monetary aspects of the tournament taken care of. Finally I appreciate the maintenance staff for all the set-up and clean up that this event requires.
I am so appreciative of the hard work that our ELA Curriculum Resource Committee is doing. Tough conversations, working through materials (in your free time lol) and keeping an open mind to change does not an easy committee make.
Which of these 4 habits is keeping you from being a great communicator
Very excited to have Kerri Snyder come over from Evergreen and take over for Ellen Trush after winter break. She is doing a stellar job covering the leave position at Evergreen and we are happy that she will continue to be an asset to the district.
I appreciate Todd and Nicole presenting the mandated trainings at our next meeting staff learning meeting. This training is mandatory for all staff members.
If you are on cycle please reach out to me and schedule your second formal observation. If you are doing an alternative please make sure you are progressing with your goals. Everyone continue to look at your student growth goals.
Congrats to Dan and Matt as the JV and Varsity BB teams travelled to Schaumburg Christian and came away with one basket victories!

Thanks to Colleen and Alex for sending out the information on the Student Council Door Decorating Contest, Toy Drive and Spirit Week. Please review this information with your students.
Once we hit December things can get crazy with interruptions and excitement in the anticipation for winter break. So please stay vigilant in following procedures with students, keep supervision tight and lets all keep an academic focus until we do get to break.
