• 9/10/24 Bell Schedule

Beginning this school year, all teachers in D117 will use two consistent grading categories: Learning Tasks and Assessments. This shift aims to provide more clarity and consistency across all classes, helping students and parents better understand how grades are determined.

• Learning Tasks are assignments that help students practice and develop new skills. These tasks are usually done during daily lessons and allow students to engage with the material while building their skills. Examples of Learning Tasks include homework, classwork, participation in discussions, and small group activities, among other practice activities.
• Assessments are used to evaluate a student’s mastery of the skills and knowledge taught. These are more formal measures of progress. Assessments may include quizzes, tests, projects, and major essays or presentations.

We hope that by implementing these clear categories in all departments we are creating a more supportive learning environment for students and more clear communication of grades for parents and caregivers. Here is an example of what you will see in Infinite Campus when looking at your student’s grades. The weight of each grading category may differ by department.

Both the girls and the boys golf teams continue their strong play and have opened the conference schedule with 6-0 NLCC records. Girls flag football continued their winning ways and are 7-0 overall. Field hockey has a record of 1-3, and are steadily improving. Girls tennis has an overall record of 3-2, and girls volleyball is off to a 6-7 start. Boys football defeated Vernon Hills on Friday and will host Grayslake Central on 9/13. Lakes hosted the Lake County Cross Country Invitational on 9/4-the girls placed 10th/13 teams, and the boys placed 4th/18 teams. The boys soccer team has a record of 1-3-1, and have two home games this week.

Tuesday, September 10th-Soccer vs. Zion-Benton, 4:30 PM

Wednesday, September 11th-Volleyball vs. Vernon Hills, 6:00 PM

Thursday, September 12th-Field Hockey vs. Highland Park, 4:45 PM

Thursday, September 12th-Soccer vs. Prairie Ridge, 4:30 PM
