FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

Dear Familes,

The month of December has been packed with fun and engaging learning activities! On Friday, December 6th, MPS and MIS students had the opportunity to participate in Junior Achievement. Thank you to our community volunteers for spending the morning with our students!

On Friday, December 20^th students participated in our all school holiday sing-a-longs and enjoyed the PTO Room Parties. We would like to thank our PTO for again organizing the Room Parties and also for organizing the Holiday Shop so students could purchase gifts for their families. The students always have a great time during these festivities and we certainly could not do it without the help of our volunteers.

January will continue to be an eventful month. Our winter MAP session will start on January 14^th. The fourth and fifth grade students will be taking the MAP Science Assessment for the first time to learn more about how this can drive our Science Instruction in the classrooms. Students set goals in Literacy and Math with their teacher and have been looking back at them to think about what they can do as learners in order to meet their goals. I cannot wait to see how much the students have learned so far this year! The ACCESS testing window is January 15^th-February 13^th. As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Again this year, we will continue to implement a child sexual abuse prevention program in our schools to support Public Act 097-1147, also known as Erin’s Law. Throughout the Month of January,Medinah Primary School students will participate in the Child Protection Unit through our current Second Step Curriculum. Although the focus is on child sexual abuse prevention, students will learn skills and rules applicable to a wide range of unsafe situations. Medinah Intermediate students will participate in the Child Protection Unit at the end of February and into March. The YWCA will sharing their Child Assault Prevention (CAP) program with 1st, 3rd, and 5th graders in January.

The 5Essentials Survey is available online at https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ . The Parent portion of the survey is approximately 25 questions and is estimated to take about ten minutes to complete. The survey is available until February 14, 2020. The results of this survey will help us make decisions toward school improvement. We hope you enjoy the holidays with your family and cannot wait to see everyone back at school in January!

Sincerely,
Natalie Czarnecki Principal, Medinah Intermediate School
