March/April 2010

Dear Plum Grove Junior High Community,

Hello Plum Grove Junior High School Community; I want to take this time to thank all of our students for their hard work and effort during the mandatory ISAT testing for the State of Illinois. Our students put forth 110% effort during the week. Results from this assessment typically come back from The State of Illinois sometime in June. The data from ISAT helps us to determine best practices in curriculum and instruction and to provide support and enrichment for our students.

Our New Spectrum program will be up and running in March. Spectrum is an age appropriate program for Junior High Students with foundational roots from the program Rainbows. Groups of students will meet once a week with teachers that have been trained in the areas of grief, divorce, or emotional loss. For more information on this program please contact our Guidance Counselor Mr. Aaron Brewer or School Social Workers, Mrs. Cris Kearney, or Mr. Jeff Vittenson at (847) 963-7600. Wishing all of our Plum Grove Community a safe and relaxing Spring Break!!!
Sincerely,

Kerry Swalwell
Principal,
Plum Grove Junior High
