You Can Still Purchase the iPad Protection Plan for 23-24

District 196 offers an optional Protection Plan to families for $20 per iPad to cover the cost of potential theft and damage throughout the school year.

Families can accept the Protection Plan at any time throughout the school year by logging into their MyPaymentsPlus account, searching for “iPad” and selecting the desired option to accept or decline the protection plan. Both options ask to review and acknowledge the Student User Agreement. Without the protection plan, the family will be responsible for any costs associated with damage to the iPad.

The plan is FREE for students eligible for the Educational Benefits Program, but you MUST go to MyPaymentsPlus to "purchase" it. When you check-out, the $20 fee will be waived. It is recommended that parents and guardians complete the Educational Benefits application first. The Educational Benefits application is available at District196.org; select Services from the main menu, then Nutrition Services.

More information is available at District 196 Back-to-School Resources.

Students can serve detentions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 2:40-4:00pm in C135. A morning Detention from 6:30-7:35am in Student Services is another option Monday-Friday. Detention is a quiet study hall where students are expected to work independently.

Students earn a detention for each (3) tardies in a class and should be served within three weeks of notice or additional consequences and restricted opportunities may result. Thank-you for your support in teaching Responsibility and Accountability.

Contact Mr. Arrale or Mr. Habeck in Student Services with questions.

Starting Wednesday, November 1st, students can benefit from an opportunity for academic support every Wednesday afternoon from 2:40pm – 4:15pm in the Learning Commons. Students are supported to complete their schoolwork learning in a supervised setting. Faculty and staff are available along with upper-class peer tutors (especially skilled in Mathematics). Students will identify their priorities (“What I Need” or “What’s Important Now”), create a plan for the most efficient use of their time, celebrate their accomplishments, and leave with a plan for continued success. Students do not need to sign up in advance for WIN Time. We do ask that students plan to be there for the start at 2:40pm so they can benefit from the full support. We will keep a log of students and their engagement (arrival/departure time and their focus/work while they are there). For students needing transportation home, activity buses will be available departing at 4:45pm.

Seniors who have their photos taken by an outside photographer should follow these instructions to submit their photo for the yearbook:

SAVE YOUR PHOTO as Last Name, First Name (i.e. Franchino, Rob). This is very important.

Then:

• Log on to: images.jostens.com
• Browse your device to select the photo you wish to upload.
• Enter information about the photo and contact information, in case the staff needs additional information.
• Click "Upload Chosen Images"

It's that easy!

It'll be so fetch! Eastview High School's Theatre Department is performing the musical, Mean Girls: High School Version!

Mean Girls, the hilarious musical from book writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt). This queen bee took Broadway by storm and has joined the musical in-crowd. Adapted from Fey's hit 2004 film, Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards.

Cady Heron may have grown up on a savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
