Summer is a great time to reflect on the year we just completed, work on plans for the

upcoming school year, and continue learning as educators so we can continue to offer

a great educational experience to our students. It has been a long time since we were

not under construction it seems, but we had pretty close to a construction free summer.

The tennis courts were resurfaced, but otherwise, no major construction projects,

which is a relief to say the least. Summer school returned to HHS this summer for the

first time in nearly 7 years, which allowed us to hear the rumblings of kids in the halls,

which is always a good sound at school.

We are entering our 2nd year as a 1:1 school. Year 1 was a success and I fully expect

year 2 to take a big step forward. We will continue working with our teachers to incor-

porate the use of the chrome books into instruction throughout the school year. Alt-

hough the teacher to student relationship remains the most important aspect of learning

in the classroom, these devices are opening doors allowing the teacher to facilitate

learning in different ways and break out of the traditional classroom setting to broaden

the learning environment and engage all of our learners at a higher level. Teachers are

telling me they are finding great ways to transition some aspects of instruction to an

online environment saving them time to focus on relationships and working directly

with students in need. I am very excited for our students to continue to have this op-

portunity and look forward to seeing how we as a school continue to grow with this

technology in hand.

We are excited about the success our programs have had in recent years; and I am very

happy to announce continued innovation and dedication to the student experience will

take another step in 2018/2019. This spring our school was selected for a Competency

Based Education Pilot. More information will be forthcoming for this new educational

approach which could change our system for the better. We are also excited to rollout

2 new academies. We will introduce a Global Studies Academy and a Fine Arts Acad-

emy for the 2018/2019 school year. Much more information on these exciting new

additions to our school can be found within this newsletter.

I hope your summer continues to offer the opportunity to travel, relax, and spend time

with your friends and families. We look forward to seeing everyone in the fall and

hearing about your summer adventures. Until then, please have a safe and enjoyable

summer vacation!

Sincerely,

Dr. Scott Rowe

A look back at accomplishments of the class of 2017

Material Pick Up

Material Pick Up is designed as your one stop shop to pick up your sched-

ule, stock your locker, get your books, update your google and haiku ac-

counts, and pick up your parking pass.

Wednesday, August 16 - 7:30AM - 1:30PM

Thursday, August 17 - 1:30PM - 7:30PM

Tuesday, August 22 - 8:00AM-12:00PM (Transfer students and Make

up)

1:1 Device Distribution (New students, 9th and 10th Grade device replacement)

Devices will be checked out to students at Material Pick up. Freshmen and Sophomores MUST bring

their current chrome books with them to turn in and be issued a new device. Students will have step by

step procedures to follow (with the help of staff members) to properly log in and connect to wifi. This

process is very important and will require the student to be present to have the device checked out to

him/her with student ID card and Google credentials. Any student unable to attend may check out their

device from the Technology Help Desk in room C1122 on the first day of school.

Physicals & Senior Vaccinations

As an important reminder, all incoming freshmen are required to have a physical on file prior to pick-

ing up your schedule. The physical may be turned into the nurse during registration or you may drop it

off or mail it to Huntley High School prior to material pick up days. Incoming Seniors must have a

documented meningitis vaccination on file prior to Material Pick Up. This paperwork may be

turned into the nurse during registration or dropped off at the high school anytime prior. Without prop-

er documentation on file, students will not be able to access schedule and materials.

Registration

Please ensure your registration is completed through the Web Store prior to Material Pick Up days. As

a reminder, no student will be able to attend classes until they have been registered and fees paid.

School Pictures

During Material Pick Up days, students will be photographed for the yearbook. Any student unable to

have his/her picture taken during Material Pick Up will have an opportunity for make-ups in October.

Schedule Changes

If you wish to request a change to an elective class selection, this request must be made in-person dur-

ing one of the two Material Pick up days in August. No elective schedule changes will be made once

the school year begins. Below are reasons to see your counselor on Material Pick Up days:

No class scheduled for a particular period

Missing lunch

Scheduled to take a class you have already passed

Senior missing a graduation requirement

Elective course change if possible in existing schedule

Lunch Periods

During the school year, we typically have 3 assemblies. One in

the fall for homecoming, one in late January or early February,

and one in March for St. Baldrick’s. These assemblies are vital

to infusing positivity and fun into the school year to ensure our

school culture is strong. We are asking that you not call your

student out for these assemblies, but rather encourage them

to participate in the event. We are working hard to improve

the quality of the assemblies to make them more interactive and

involve more students. We view this as a part of the school day

and would appreciate your support on this issue. We firmly be-

lieve these events can go a long way to further connect our stu-

dents to the school and make HHS an even better place to be!

HHS Student Services Organization

The ability to communicate is vital to success in life. While we want to maintain open lines of communica-

tion we also want all of our students to be a partner in this communication process. Please encourage your

student to advocate for themselves and communicate their needs with their teachers and our Student Ser-

vices department. Please pay attention to our school website, as we regularly post important information

about upcoming events and general happenings at the high school. Look for information on our Parent

Power Team and join the team to offer feedback about what is going well and what areas we can improve.

Encourage your student to visit Power School regularly to ensure everything is accurate and there aren’t

any surprises. Finally, be an active parent and positively support our students and school.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Please encourage your student to check his/her school email regularly as this will be the primary communi-

cation tool used between Administration and the student body.

Keeping in Touch

What’s NEW to Huntley High School?

Competency Based Education Pilot Huntley High School was accepted into a pilot program with the Illinois State Board of Education to build a

competency based learning system. Competency based education is an approach which allows students to

advance based on their ability to master a skill or competency at their own pace. This approach is tailored to

meet different learning abilities and can lead to more efficient student outcomes. Competency based learning

takes a different approach to credit, breaking down the walls of the traditional classroom. Students will work

with the same curriculum, however, their path to achieving credit will look different and will be more per-

sonalized. We are building a personalized educational system in Huntley and I believe this to be the future of

education and am very excited that HHS gets to again be on the forefront of educational change. We will

hold informational sessions for parents and students in the fall and look forward to engaging in the conversa-

tion with you surrounding improving our educational system. We will be inviting interested students to apply

for acceptance into this pilot for the 2018/2019 school year during registration later this winter.

Global Studies Academy Students interested in history, the world’s political climate, or any other aspect of being a global citizen are

encouraged to keep an eye out for information regarding our Global Studies Academy. As with all of our

academies, this is an opportunity for students to immerse themselves in an area of specific interest to them to

maximize their high school education and explore potential future career opportunities while in high school.

This academy will be structured around achieving the Global Citizenship certificate offered through the State

of Illinois. The Global Studies Academy will challenge students to understand all aspects of global diversity,

to become globally responsive, critical, and empathetic citizens. Students will gain knowledge and experi-

ence through the study of world cultures, conflicts, and societal values, and structures. The academy will in-

spire students to become global citizens through service learning, varied coursework, and travel experiences.

The students’ greater understanding of the global society will empower them to become globally aware. Stu-

dents will employ Social Studies skills to research, design, and support a plan of action in a local or national

community to accomplish the UN global goals. Be on the lookout for information during course registration

as to how to become active in this new academy.

Fine Arts Academy The Fine Arts Academy provides opportunities to help prepare students for admission to fine arts programs

and careers in fine arts, or just immerse themselves in the arts while in high school. By combining the foun-

dation of skill development through rigorous coursework with real world experiences, our students leave

Huntley High School with a portfolio demonstrating their skills and experiences that will assist them as they

further their work in the area of fine arts. Joining the Fine Arts Academy means exposure to opportunities at

Huntley High School for including but not limited to skill development, performance opportunities, field trip

opportunities, internship opportunities, and portfolio development. Similar to the existing academies, the

Fine Arts academy will seek to immerse students into their passion and provide them opportunities to not

only improve their artistic skill/interest, but also create and showcase their work.

Report Cards

Report cards will no longer be mailed home at the end of each semester. If you would like to receive a hard

copy of a report card (any semester), a form will be available on the high school website under the parent tab. All student performance information will continue to be available via the Power School parent portal. An

email blast will be sent with more information later this semester to indicate the form is up and ready on the

website.

Be on the lookout for information for all of these exciting new additions to Huntley High School and find your path to tailor your high school experience to your interests!

Special Services

We look forward to the 17-18 school year and supporting your child as outlined in your child’s IEP paper-

work. Below are a few beginning of the year pieces of information that will help ease the transition into

the 17-18 school year.

Your child’s case manager will reach out to you and your child by August 25, the first Friday of the

first week of school to introduce themselves and to provide contact information.

All accommodations will be sent to all of your child’s teachers by the end of the first full week of

school.

Student schedules were adjusted at the end of the 16-17 school year to reflect your child’s current

IEP. If you plan to make changes to your child’s schedule, please make sure to contact your

child’s case manager. The case manager will work with your child’s counselor so any changes

can be reflected in the IEP as needed.

Your child’s IEP meeting will be scheduled throughout the 17-18 school year as the annual or re-

evaluation due date approaches by our scheduling secretary.

If you have any questions or concerns prior to the start of the school year regarding your child’s IEP

please contact Keith Panke, Special Services Department Chair, kpanke@district158.org

Welcome Class of 2021!

Huntley High School invites the class of

2021 to the annual Raider Rally

Friday August 18 8:00AM-12:00PM

East Gym

Join your classmates and Link Crew

Leaders for a fun morning designed as an

orientation tailored to your needs as an

incoming freshman. The rally is guaran-

teed to be fun and light hearted and will

give you an opportunity to meet new peo-

ple and get excited about starting high

school. Our group of Link Crew leaders

will guide you through your freshman

year and can be a great resource for you

on a daily basis to help navigate your way

through your transition into high school.

Deans’ Office

We hope you had a great summer and are excited to begin another school year. We wanted to take this opportunity to remind you of the expectations of students in certain key areas.

IDs: Students are required to wear their school issued IDs on a lanyard around their neck at all times while

they are in the building. This is for the safety and security of everyone that comes into the building. The ID must

be valid, meaning it is the 2017-2018 ID and the picture is visible and unaltered.

This year there will be a change to the background colors of the student IDs. As a means of easier identification

and the ability to create some incentives and privileges, there will be four background colors each representing a different class. This will allow staff in the building a quick visual to identify students by age that will allow them

to identify the appropriate level of intervention if needed. We are also looking to create some incentives and priv-

ileges to be earned for appropriate behavior and positive actions, and these colors will also relate to some of those

privileges earned. Privileges could include access to various locations in the building during free time and off campus privileges for those students who have the necessary prerequisites. At this time nothing is set in stone oth-

er than what the four colors will be. They are Freshman– Red, Sophomore– Green, Junior– Purple, and Senior–

Blue. It is our belief that this change will make a positive impact on the culture in our building.

Double Lunch: All students who have earned enough credits to be 10th through 12th graders will have a dou-ble lunch privilege. This means that if you are a sophomore through senior you have 47 minutes for lunch. This

does not mean you may leave campus. This will continue to be a privilege reserved for the seniors who have

earned 17 credits and have turned in a parent authorization form.

Parking: All students parking on site must have a valid, school issued, parking tag displayed from the rear view mirror of their car. Students are expected to enter campus from the Harmony Road entrance only. No stu-

dent should enter campus whether they are walking or driving from any other entrance.

Exits: During the day the only authorized entrance or exit will be through the main entry door by the security desk at Door 1. This means that anyone coming or leaving the building from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM must use this

entry. Exiting or gaining entry via another location is a violation of the handbook and consequences or loss of

privileges may be issued

Medical Verification for Absences: Any time a student misses school for a doctor’s appointment, be sure to

get a doctor’s medically excused note and turn it immediately upon return to school to the Attendance Office.

Thank you ahead of time for your support of these important procedures and policies at Huntley High School. Again,

we welcome you back and wish you the best of luck for the 2017-2018 school year.

Important note about books checked out to students

All books checked out to students at Material Pick Up must be returned to the school and properly scanned back into

the system to give the student credit for returning the book. We will provide an opportunity to return books at the end

of each semester for all students. If a schedule change occurs or any other reason a student no longer needs a book, it

is the responsibility of the student to contact either Mrs. Westermeyer or Mrs. Gustafson in the P-Z office to have

their book scanned back into the system. Failure to properly return the book may result in the student being charged

to replace the book, if it cannot be recovered. Failure to return books or other checked out materials or pay the cost to

replace the books or materials in full may result in diploma and transcripts being held until they are returned. Stu-

dents should never turn in text books to a teacher. They must be returned to either the book room at the proper

return time or to the P-Z office if a mid-year exit occurs.

Please report any student absence within 24 hours or the student will be marked unexcused.

Please report absences using the Attendance Line-847-659-6611.

Each student is allowed 10 Excused by Parent absences per semester. On the 11th absence a

medical note is required to excuse the absence.

Any student that receives 5 Unexcused absences in any class risks receiving a Withdraw/Fail in

the course that the unexcused absence takes place.

Pre-Arranged absences should be approved prior to the absence by an administrator. Forms may

be picked up in your student service pod.

A student will be given one day for every day missed following an excused absence in order to

make up the work that was missed.

We believe that a direct correlation exists between academic performance and regular attendance in

school. We encourage you to keep us informed about your absences and make every effort to be in

school each day.

Attendance Procedures

Similar to any workplace, some clothing is inappropriate to our educational workplace. Please refer to our

updated student handbook for our dress code expectations. If a student is referred to the Deans’ office for

inappropriate clothing, he or she may be asked to make an adjustment to their attire. The Deans’ office

may have t-shirts available for those who do not have something in a locker to wear. Failure to comply

with our school dress code could result in disciplinary measures if not adhered to.

Dress Code

Off Campus for Seniors

All seniors may complete the form found on here to apply for off campus. No student may leave the

building without first completing this form and being issued a new student ID identifying them as hav-

ing off campus privileges. If you have not already completed the off campus lunch authorization form

and submitted it to Mrs. Gustafson in the P-Z Student Services pod, please do so as soon as possible.

Forms must be submitted prior to Material Pick Up day in order to avoid paying $5 to reprint your ID. If

you turned in the off campus form last spring, your ID will be ready for pick up on Material Pick Up.

Parent call-outs:

To ensure student safety, students leaving during the day must be called out by a parent/guardian pri-

or to leaving. Please use the Attendance Line for these calls. If there are extenuating circumstances

and a call is not received, a parent/guardian must come in the building to sign their student out.

Naviance - The counseling department has successfully rolled out the Naviance career/college planning program to all four grade levels. We encourage all students to continue accessing the program by clicking

on the “Naviance” link on the main high school website located on the left-hand side. Login/email = stu-

dent email address and password = student ID number (no “s”). Naviance has various career assess-ments and college search engines. Students can search for careers and colleges from any internet enabled

web browser at any time. Now is a great time to plan for your future!

Course Level Changes – If you would like to change course level then a “change of level request” form can still be submitted after classes begin. We encourage all students and guardians to collaborate with the

respective department chair of that subject before making course level changes. The final decision is made

between the teacher, Department Chair, and family. The form is available on the student services website

under the registration side tab under forms.

Counseling Department

Math Department

Raider Aid is a tutoring resource that is available to all students who need extra help in their classes. Raider Aid is open during the school day and after school. If your student is struggling, please encourage them to

attend Raider Aid to receive extra help.

During school -During the day, students can get assistance 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th hours Mon-

day-Friday in C2125.

After school -Raider Aid is open Monday through Thursday from 2:40-3:40 pm in C2125. There are 2 certi-

fied math teachers in Raider Aid every day and other subjects based on the weekly schedule that can help

answer questions! A free activity bus is also available (sign-up is required).

Graphing Calculators

All students are required to have a graphing calculator. The recommended calculator is the TI-84 Graphing

Calculator. Teachers will be using the TI-84 graphing calculator during classroom demonstrations through-

out the course. Students will be able to use this calculator for all their high school math courses and also in

college.

The calculator is available at most retailers. If purchasing a new calculator for your child, we ask that your

child bring the reward points (located on the back of the calculator package) to their math teacher. HHS can

use the rewards points that are collected to help receive free Texas Instrument Products for our classrooms.

Medical and STEM Academies

The application process for the Medical Academy will open for all sophomores and juniors in Oc-

tober 2017. The Engineering Academy application process will open for all freshmen and sopho-

mores in March 2018. Parents and students will be contacted with all dates and information. Be-

ing an inducted member of the Academies allows students to work toward a transcript designation

and work on job shadows and volunteering in the specific field. For more information on the

Medical Academy please see the Medical Academy web page here. For more information on the

Engineering Academy please see the Engineering Academy web page here.

The HHS English Department is very excited to share information about the District 158 Summer Reading Program, a district-wide effort to encourage ongoing learning and student growth beyond the confines of the school year. All

students are required to read one book over the summer. The novels were selected by each grade level with the main

purposes of student engagement and preparation for the coming year. Families will find the specific titles for all grade levels, including Advanced Placement and Dual Credit courses, below. Copies of these titles have been reserved at the

Huntley Public Library and are readily available for purchase in stores and online.

As we prepare for our fall sports teams to return in August and open the 2017-18 athletic year, I would like to take a moment to look back at the outstanding accomplishments of our teams, student-athletes, coaches, and

staff from this past school year. For the second consecutive year, HHS won the FVC All Sports Award. This

award is presented to the school with the best performances in all sports over the school year. During the year,

Huntley teams FVC conference titles in Volleyball, Wrestling, Girls Basketball, Boys Track, Girls Track, Base-ball, and Softball. HHS came in second in Girls Golf, Boys Soccer, Cheer, Poms, won 7 Regional titles, 1 sec-

tional title. Additionally, a number of teams sent one or more individuals to compete at various IHSA state com-

petitions and our Poms team finished 2nd overall in the State competition. Besides our athletic accomplish-ments, 19 of our varsity teams achieved a 3.0 GPA during their respective season, qualifying them for the IHSA

Team Academic Achievement Award.

Attached are a list of key dates to start the school year. The Athletic Department will continue to use 8to18

http://il.8to18.com/huntley/ for registration, scheduling, and other athletic information. For current scores and

updates, follow the Athletic Department on Twitter at @HHS_Athletics1.

Athletic Dates to Know

“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full

potential….these are the keys that will unlock the door to

personal excellence!”

PE Locks

All incoming freshman will have purchased a PE

lock (school issued) that they will keep for all four

years at HHS. This will be given to them the first

week of school. In addition, 10th & 11th graders will

need to purchase a lock from their PE teacher in the

fall for $5 if they did not do so last year.

PE Uniforms

PE uniforms can be picked-up at the August ma-

terial pick-up day. If you did not pre-order a uni-

form or you would like a replacement uniform

you can purchase one at the material pick-up as

well. Uniforms sets are $20 or you may just pur-

chase t-shirt or shorts individually for $10.

Physical Education Department

Parents:

We would like you to be involved in your child’s high school experience in any way that you would like

to be. Below are a few options that might be of interest to you. The links below can connect you to the

individual websites. You may have to hold down the control (Cntrl) button on your keyboard to click the

link. All of the information below can be found through our school’s web page if you have difficulties.

Parent Power Team (click the title for more information)

The HHS Parent Power Team will be entering its 5th year at Huntley High School. This parent group

meets three times per year at HHS with two meeting times (a morning option and an evening option) to

fit your demanding schedule. While the meeting dates have yet to be set for the 2017/2018 school year,

information can be found on the school web page and at our Open House event. This is your opportunity

to be caught up on what is going on at HHS, suggest agenda items to learn about specific things, and of-

fer feedback about your impressions of HHS to help us continually improve.

HHS Athletic Boosters (click the title for more information)

The HHS Athletic Boosters are a parent organization that supports all of our athletic programs. Parents

volunteer to work concessions, design and sell spirit wear, fundraise for capital improvements (new East

gym competition court, baseball and softball scoreboards, and much more). There are many opportuni-

ties to be involved with this group if your son or daughter is involved in athletics or you just have an in-

terest and want to be involved.

HHS Fine Arts Boosters (click the title for more information)

The HHS Fine Arts Boosters are a parent organization that supports the arts at HHS. Parent volunteers

work with the fine arts department to fundraise, work events, help build sets, and much more. This ac-

tive group is perfect if your son or daughter is involved in HHS theatre, our music programs, our art pro-

gram, or you just have a passion for the arts.

We encourage all of our students to find something to be involved in that interests them outside of their

academic day to connect them to our building. We firmly believe that involvement in extra curricular

activities enhances the high school experience and will not only make these 4 years more fun, but those

that are involved tend to perform better in school. Join us in some way and be involved in HHS as a par-

ent volunteer. There is something for everyone, and we want you to enjoy your child’s high school expe-

rience as much as we want them to!

Interested in getting involved?

“At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child’s success is the

positive involvement of parents.”

Volunteer Information

Did you know that more than 2,000 individuals volunteered with District 158 schools last year? We love welcom-

ing many parent volunteers to our schools each year. Remember, all parents seeking to volunteer must fill out and

return a Volunteer Registration Form each year, even if you filled one out last year. The form is available at

www.district158.org/volunteer-information. Thank you for your commitment to serving all students always!
