CONGRATULATIONS…… To Our DECA Students (Submitted by Chad Froeschle)

If students are interested in learning about business, marketing, management, finance and or entrepreneurship, DECA is the organization for them. DECA is a co-curricular, student-centered business organization specifically designed to provide activities that will motivate students to learn marketing competencies that will prepare them to become skilled, employable workers in marketing, management, and entrepreneurship, and marketing related careers. Students have the opportunity to use their knowledge in business and compete at local, state, and even the national level. Students involved in DECA have the opportunity to showcase their

business knowledge through DECA’s competitive events. There are 4 levels of competition for DECA (local, regional, state, and international). The competition consists of two business situational role-plays, a written economics test, and business written test. On January 31st, Elk Grove DECA brought 16 students to the North-Suburban DECA competition and had 8 of 16 competitors place in the top 10 of their events. Notable mentions are Maggie Cronin and Jose Romero who placed in the top 4 of their events, Brandi Middendorp placed 2nd in her event, and Jakub Hojsan and Joey Weber placed 1st in their events. On February 22nd through 24th, Brandi Middendorp, Jakub Hojsan, Joey Weber, Jose Romero, and Maggie Cronin represented Elk Grove High School at the state DECA competition in Rosemont. Over 1,300 students competed at the state DECA competition in Rosemont, Illinois. Jakub Hojsan, Brandi Middendorp, and Joey Weber placed in the top ten of their events at state. Brandi Middendorp and Joey Weber qualified for the national DECA competition in Atlanta, Georgia. Joey Weber placed 2nd at state and this is the second consecutive year Joey Weber has qualified for the national DECA competition! Joey and Brandi will represent Illinois at the National DECA conference beginning April 21st.

TITLE I - PARENT UPDATE

District 214 receives about $1.5 million each year from the Title I Federal Grant, whose goal is to help at-risk students reach high academic standards. At Elk Grove High School, these funds support programs like supplementary tutoring, field trips to college campuses, College Palooza, and parent outreach meetings. Parent involvement is an important part of Title I Programming! You can learn more about Title I from the parent involvement policy that will be sent in your child’s 2018-2019 registration packet. You are also invited to the Title I meeting to be held in conjunction with the EGHS Fall 2018 Open House.

TITLE I - NOTICIAS PARA PADRES

El Distrito Escolar 214 recibe acerca de $1.5 millones cada año de la subvención federal Título I, cuya meta es ayudar a estudiantes en riesgo a alcanzar altos estándares académicos. En Elk Grove High School, estos fondos apoyan programas como la tutoría suplementaria, excursiones a recintos universitarios, el evento College Palooza, y reuniones de enlace familiar. ¡La involucración de padres es una parte importante de la programación del Título I! Ud. puede aprender más sobre el Título I leyendo la política de participación de padres que se enviará en el paquete de inscripción de su hijo para el año 2018-2019. También está invitado a la reunión Título I que se llevará a cabo en conjunto con la sesión de puertas abiertas (Open House) en otoño 2018.



From the School Nurse......Kathie Sczepanski

March 2018 Dear Parent/Guardian, New Immunization Requirement for the School year 2018-2019: Every child entering the twelfth grade shall show proof of having received two doses of meningococcal conjugate vaccine prior to entering the twelfth grade. The first dose shall have been received on or after the 10th birthday, and the second dose shall be at least eight weeks after the first dose. If the first dose is administered when the child is 16 years of age or older, only one dose is required. The requirements of this Section also apply to children who transfer into Illinois schools from other states, regardless of the age or grade level at which the child transfers. What does this mean to you and your student? Your student may have already received the two doses of the meningococcal conjugate vaccine but it has not been specified on their immunization form. Please ask your doctor if your student has received the two meningococcal conjugate vaccine and have them provide the dates they were given and a doctor’s signature.

Los requisitos de esta Sección también aplican para los niños que se transfieren al cuidado de niños en Illinois o programas escolares, y escuelas de otros estados, sin importar a que edad o grado los niños se hayan transferido. ¿Que significa esto para usted y para su estudiante?

Por favor, pregunte a su doctor si su estudiante ya ha recibido las dos vacunas meningocócica conjugada (MCV4) y que le proporcionen las fechas en las cuales fueron administradas y la firma del doctor. Si no ha recibido las dos dosis, usted necesita adquirir esta vacuna para su hijo/a. Su hijo/a será sujeto a exclusión escolar como esta descrito en el código escolar de Illinois. Por favor, lea la carta adjunta del Departamento de Salud Pública en Illinois. Por favor, complete esta forma antes del 1ro de junio del 2018, o contacte a la enfermera de la escuela en caso de que no pueda completarla antes de esta fecha.

EGHS PARENT NEWSLETTER 4TH QUARTER - APRIL 2018

Funding provided in whole or in part by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

Kenneth Young Korner

*Data from the 2016 IYS Survey.

facebook.com/cpydcoalition @CPYDCoalition cpydcoalition.org

At EGHS, 93%* of seniors report that they

have not engaged in drinking in the past 12

months.

Saturday, April 28th, 2018 10AM to 2PM

Drop-off site:Elk Grove Police

Department901 Wellington Ave, Elk Grove Village, IL

How do we know? Students told us in the 2016 Illinois Youth Survey (IYS)! Studies show that communication and relationship-building during

family dinners greatly reduces the risk of teen substance use.

Students will take the IYS survey again on March 16.

Kenneth Young Center is working with EGHS and other community organizations

to address the opioid crisis.

One of the strategies is educating community members on safe usage, storage, and disposal of

prescription pain medication through our Guard and Discard posters campaign. Posters will be

put up in several locations around Elk Grove Township — keep an eye out for them! And if you’re

looking for more resources, scan our QR code or visit our website at cpydcoalition.org.

63% of EGHS sophomores report eating dinner with their parent(s) or guardian(s) at least 4 or more days out of the week.

¿Cómo sabemos? Estudiantes nos dijeron en la Encuesta Juvenil de

Illinois (IYS) en 2016. Estudios muestran que comunicando y

construyendo relaciones durante cenas familiares reducen fuertemente el

riesgo de uso juvenil de sustancias. Estudiantes tomarán la IYS de nuevo el 16 de marzo.

Kenneth Young Center está trabajando con EGHS y otras organizaciones comunitarias

a combatir la crisis de opioides. Una de las estrategias es educar la comunidad sobre el uso seguro de medicinas recetadas y como usted puede guardar y desechar estas medicinas atreves de nuestra campaña de comunicación “Guarde y

Deseche.” Cartulinas serán puestas en varios sitios alrededor de Elk Grove Township - ¡prónto las podrá

ver en su comunidad! Y si quiere más recursos, Escanee nuestro código o visite nuestro

sitio de web a cpydcoalition.org.

63% de estudiantes de 10o reportan que cenan con

su(s) padre(s) o guardian(es) al menos de 4 días durante la semana.
