Mead Jr. High staff are excited for our sixth grade students to become part of the Mustang family.  This parent-only, informational night is a great opportunity to find out some useful tips for a smooth transition into Mead Jr. High. This event will take place on Wednesday, December 12 from 6 pm – 7:30 pm. Our partnership is important for the success of your child.  We look forward to meeting you and answering any questions you may have about Mead and about the transition to junior high.

Throughout the month of November, Ms. Phelan, the assistant principal at Jane Addams Junior High visited the elementary feeder schools in preparation for next school year.  Sixth grade students received an overview of a typical day in junior high, learned about the different elective course options and extracurricular opportunities, and had an opportunity to have their questions answered.  Next year’s scheduling is around the corner, so be on the lookout for your child’s elective selection sheet. The elective course selection sheets are due back on December 14.  In addition to helping the students adjust, the junior highs are also offering a parent night to be held on Wednesday, December 12 from 6:00-7:00pm where you can come and learn about your child’s school for next year. For our Dual Language and Chinese Immersion families, there will be a presentation from 5:30-6:00pm that will provide specific information about the program your child is enrolled in.

Illinois has changed the date for the student survey, which won’t be available until Dec. 11. It is our plan to complete the survey at school after winter break. If you do not want your child to participate, please contact me by December 7th. Please note that the parent survey will be available online through Feb. 15, 2019, at https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois.
