Support for families experiencing housing insecurity
Are you or another ACHS family experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity?
The federal McKinney-Vento Act helps protect the rights of students whose families are experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. You can review those rights with the Illinois State Board of Education Housing Insecurity Fact Sheet and read more at isbe.net/Pages/Homeless.aspx.
You can reference ISBE's parent questionnaire if you want to consider if your student may be eligible for services.
Reach out to ACHS's McKinney-Vento liaison, Assistant Principal for Student Services Scott Leverentz (scott.leverentz@chsd117.org or 847-838-7767) with any questions.
Call For Volunteers: Mock Interviews
Antioch Community High School is again hosting Mock Interviews for students in Introduction to Business, Personal Finance & Life Resource Management (LRM). Students have been exploring careers, resumes and the interview process. Mock Interviews provide the opportunity for them to make these concepts real.
Mock Interviews will take place on Thursday, Feb. 13. We need YOUR help to make the project a success - can you help us provide this real-world life experience? This process allows our students to be both college and career-ready.
Please SIGN UP HERE for the individual period(s) you are available. There will be approximately 160 students interviewing over the day. The specific schedule for volunteers is as follows:
Classes
Period 1 8:00-8:50 4 volunteers needed
Period 2 8:55-9:45 6 volunteers needed
Period 3 9:50-10:40 8 volunteers needed
Period 5 11:40-12:30 5 volunteers needed
Period 7 1:30-2:20 11 volunteers needed (2 classes)
Period 8 2:25-3:15 7 volunteers needed
In our current economic times, many companies are looking for ways to connect with potential employees. If your company would like to participate in this Mock Interview opportunity, please feel free to share this email. We are eager to partner with the community to provide real connections for our students and local businesses.
Further information including student expectations, potential interview questions and a rubric “scoring guide” will be provided to confirmed volunteers before the Mock Interviews.
