Eastlake Middle School 4.2.18
The Week at a Glance
Welcome back everyone. It's hard to believe that we are in our last quarter of this school year. As we get ready for the sprint ahead of us, keep in mind some big picture items:
1. From April 9th to the 13th, we will be promoting safety week with a focus on key safety drills. We will alert the students and community about the nature of the drills. We will send more information the week we get back from the break.
2. From April 16th to May 11th, we will be involved in SBAC testing. Please be on the lookout for emails from Nathan regarding testing procedures and set-up. On April 4th during TSPs, all students should check their Ipads for cracks or missing secured browser app. On April 11th in TSP, students should do a practice test to get acquainted with the online format as well as tools.
3. Our students did a phenomenal job with the national walkout day to address school violence. They were well-behaved and respectful.
4. Thanks for coming out to the last social luncheon. The next one is scheduled for April 20th and we will have Chicago Deep Dish Pizza from Lefty's! Only $5 a slice. They are huge slices! Order form is right here ... Pizza
5. HELP! The Eastlake Education Foundation is sponsoring the Cycle Eastlake event coming up in May. The Eastlake Foundation is a great source of support for our school community. We hope you consider joining the ride, sponsoring the event or volunteering. See the flyers below.
6. We are in the process of ordering polos for our big welcome back opening day celebration for the 2018-19 school year. Please tell us shirt size and preference here -->
Let's do this Eastlake Middle School. It's officially a sprint to end. Finish strong.
