Gone are the days of designated smoking areas in schools. Gone are the days of smoke-filled bathrooms.

</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vaping incidents rank #5 at our school for most common disciplinary infraction. Two years ago, vapes were barely on our radar.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Students have been caught in the act of vaping or in possession of a vaporizer 58 times so far this school year. Two years ago, there were only 19 incidents involving tobacco (vapes or cigarettes combined) for the whole year.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vaping as a trend crosses age groups (freshmen are just as likely as seniors to vape), race and income level.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">12% of students caught vaping have a GPA of 3.0 or higher. 78% have at least a 2.0 GPA. </span></li>

</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While no definitive research is available--the first generation of vaping is just now taking up the habit--signs are starting to point to the health risks that one would assume results from inhaling chemicals into your body that weren’t meant to be inhaled.</span></li>

</div>
<ul>
<li>I<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">’m always a fan of having a direct conversation with your teen. Find out if they have ever tried it. Find out if their friends have tried it. Make sure they have considered the possible long-term ramifications of vaping. Make sure they know that vaping is against school rules and the athletic code.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep your eyes open in your house for unknown electronic devices of all shapes and sizes. <a href="https://www.juulvapor.com/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Juul </span></a><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">seems to be the hot brand right now. Their devices are very discreet and could pass for a USB storage device. We have also confiscated vaping devices that look like Zippo lighters and pens and markers. In some cases, parents have reported to us that a suspicious charging device should have tipped them off that their student was up to something.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Proactively research what vapes look like. A simple internet image search will show you the wide variety of styles that are out there.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do your own research about the health hazards of vaping. Right now, vaping does not hold the same stigma as smoking cigarettes, but it should. There’s no reason for your teen to pick up this habit. </span></li>

Academics are important but the after-school clubs, activities, and athletics help shape the people we are. Having an outlet to have fun, be challenged intellectually (like Chess club), artistically (like woods club or photo club) or athletically are important.

If teachers don’t feel safe, they cannot teach. As principal, I spend a lot of time paying attention to the teaching and learning going on in our school. There are very few topics that will divert my attention away from learning, but safety and security command my full attention every time.</span></div>

For the 100+ days of school this year before Wednesday’s tragedy in Florida, school safety may not have been as great of a concern as that upcoming test, volleyball game or Debate tournament.</span></div>

A prevailing thought has stuck out to me: While the safety measures we employ at Fremd are quite familiar to me, these measures may be unknown or invisible to most students, parents and staff. So, because information often brings comfort, here are just </span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><u>some</u></span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"> of the many safety measures that are taken on a regular basis at Fremd that you might not know about:</span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Officer Derek Bahn from the Palatine Police Department is stationed every day during school hours in our school.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have a staff of 20 hall monitors who are tasked with supervising our school’s common areas, hallways, and entrances.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Almost 40 staff members carry walkie talkies, so safety issues can be reported in real time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Routine entrance and restroom checks are performed every class period to secure exterior doors and ensure safe behavior in the restrooms.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are over 60 surveillance cameras in our hallways, common areas and parking lots.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the morning, there are two approved entrances for students to enter. Both are staffed with multiple hall monitors who check student IDs. (All visitors must enter through the main entrance.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the school day, all entrances are locked except the main entrance, which is supervised by at least one person, but often with 3-4 people.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a <a href="https://fhs.d211.org/info/safety-concerns/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Safety Concern Form</span></a><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> located on the right-hand side of our main website to report anything about student safety. Although the form allows anonymity, please understand that a thorough report with a contact name helps us to answer follow-up questions and fully investigate reports.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We hold many safety drills each year, including at least two lockdown drills.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Palatine Fire and Police Departments are active collaborators in our school safety plans, which are reviewed annually.</span></li>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">For the last couple years, District 211 has been advocating for all students to strive to achieve The Power of 15. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is the idea that students will have accumulated 15 hours of college credit in high school through the successful completion of AP and dual credit courses.</span></div>

</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; white-space: pre-wrap;">Are twice as likely to graduate from college on time.</span></li>

</div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While every student may not go on to college, we want to create an environment where college is at least an option. Regardless, AP and dual credit classes offer the following benefits:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; white-space: pre-wrap;">Solid work ethic to tackle rigorous coursework</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; white-space: pre-wrap;">Preparation for college-level classes</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; white-space: pre-wrap;">Vocational training and certification</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; white-space: pre-wrap;">Time and money savings</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Power of 15 does NOT mean that students load up on AP classes. Sure, we offer an abundance of AP classes, but we offer Dual Credit classes (courses where students earn high school and college credit concurrently) in English, Math, Science, Art, Business, Family & Consumer Science, and Applied Tech. Fremd High School offers over 40 AP and dual credit courses across a variety of subject areas. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><u>What should I do now?</u></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">First, I recommend assessing how many college credits your student has earned so far. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">A very rough estimate: one Fremd AP or dual credit course = 3 college credit hours. Check out our </span><a href="http://adc.d211.org/pdf/curriculum_guide.pdf" style="font-family: arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Curriculum Guide</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for more information.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">Next, regardless of your student's grade in school, check to see if there is a dual credit or AP class that your student can take. Ideally, you will find courses that serve as college entrance requirements, graduation requirements, or career interests.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">And lastly, I suggest setting up the possibility of taking a dual credit or AP course in subsequent years. Many courses have pre-requisites that may require forward planning. Need help? Your student's counselor will be your best resource.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today, we held a Veterans Day assembly for our students, along with some honored guests that included veterans connected to our Fremd community. The ceremony was run by senior Amy Ma and junior Chris Oakley, who did a wonderful job explaining the significance of the occasion.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I must share a huge thanks to Matt Moore and Marla Caballero and our Music Department for providing moving music, including the Star-Spangled Banner, the Armed Forces Medley, and America, the Beautiful. Christie O'Donnell (English) played a significant role in organizing the assembly. And Courtney Billittier (Social Studies) was the mastermind behind the week's festivities, including dress-up days, a dodgeball tournament, and fundraising efforts for <a href="http://www.creativets.org/">CreatiVets</a>, a non-profit that helps veterans cope with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder through art, and <a href="https://www.foldsofhonor.org/">Folds of Honor</a>, an organization that provides scholarships to families of fallen and disabled veterans.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am also proud of our entire student body. It is not often that you can put 2600 students in one location and hear a pin drop. Our students were respectful and reverential. Their attitude and behavior reflected the power of the ceremony, but it also revealed the character and class that they possess. Kudos to you, Fremd parents, for raising great kids! And kudos to our students for showing respect and gratitude for the sacrifices others have made to protect our way of life.</span></div>

One particularly bad winter, I came down with frostbite on my hands, and decided that I would move somewhere warm as soon as I graduated from Augie! I ended up relocating to Phoenix, AZ. I taught English and Drama classes in a small, rural, cowboy town about an hour west of Phoenix. While at that school, I served as the head of the Theatre department, directing all the plays and musicals, and I also sponsored the fashion club. Last year, I returned to IL to face the cold again...so far, so good!</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Last December, district work crews set out to eradicate OLD (Outdated Library Disease) on Fremd's campus. Good news! The new and improved library, free of OLD, will be open for student use on November 6!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We owe the Viking Booster Club a huge thank you for their financial support to add furniture and other aesthetic features to the space.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another interesting finding of this study is that teenagers hang out less with their friends. While we can only speculate about the reasons, I’d venture to guess that the internet and technology are part of this trend, as well as parents taking a greater interest in their children’s lives.</span><br />

In this </span><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/new-study-confirms-that-teens-are-delaying-adulthood_us_59c1ee73e4b082fd4205baf7" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">article</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, though, the author suggests that we need to continue to find ways to build independence in our teens, but not at the expense of weakening our bond with them. Here are some tangible things you can do to navigate this balance:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Encourage your teen to seek out interests and hobbies that can be done with friends. Fremd has over 60 clubs, and most clubs are actively looking for new members.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Give your teen age-appropriate responsibilities around the home. Fulfilling the responsibilities is one thing. Getting them to do it without constant hounding? That may be next-level parenting at its finest!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Consider tech-free times or spaces. Every moment of our lives doesn’t need to be SnapChatted. No phones at the dinner table or study table! Turn off app alerts. Take the steps to limit distractions caused by our devices.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let your teen experience frustrations and disappointments. That’s part of the way that we build resilience.</span></li>
</ul>

These windows will have a shaded tint on them that enhances the colors of the walls. Although we were merely going for a Prairie-style look, we found that this style resembles the multi-window style found in the library circa 1963.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">U.S. News & World Report</span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> recently released their rankings of the top high schools in America. I have received some inquiries from members of our community expressing concern about Fremd’s absence on this list. Fear not, fellow Vikings! Fremd is still a great school. Nothing dramatic has happened to our educational programs since this fall, when </span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Newsweek </span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ranked us #11 in the state of Illinois. Instead, we need to look at how </span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">U.S. News</span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> arrived at their ranking:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To determine the top schools in 2017, <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">U.S. News</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> used 2014-2015 test data for each school’s state test. The state test that year (and the next) were the PARCC exams, a series of tests that were flawed from the beginning and scrapped after just two years in favor of the SAT.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">PARCC exams were developed for specific courses students would take throughout their high school career. In English, schools chose to test all of their students in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade English. In Math, schools chose to test students enrolled in Algebra, Geometry, or Algebra II. All District 211 schools tested freshmen in English, and students enrolled in Algebra. Other districts, including nearby District 214, tested students in different courses than what we chose. Apples to oranges.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because we tested our Algebra students, only about one-third of our freshman class was tested, since the other two-thirds of the class were enrolled in either Geometry, Algebra II, and in some cases, Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus. Other rankings use national exams like ACT or SAT, which include a wider range of our student population.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How did other D211 schools get a ranking and not Fremd? That’s a great question. You will notice that other great high schools--New Trier, Deerfield, Prairie Ridge, to name a few--were also left off the list.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are some details that the U.S. News rankings fail to recognize:</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our AP course enrollment continues to climb, with record numbers of students taking AP tests each year. Remarkably, our scores continue to improve as well!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The number of National Merit Semifinalists and Finalists remains impressive. This year, 10 students were selected as Finalists for this honor.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Over the last three years, the number of perfect ACTs has ranged from three to seven--all impressive numbers.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In my three years as principal, Fremd’s athletic teams and competitive activities have brought home 10 state trophies (and counting).</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I will put up accolades like these against any school in the state!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>A: </b>Several years ago, prom was moved to the weekend of graduation in an effort to curb misbehavior from students. When the decision was made, parents noted that the proximity on the calendar to the graduation ceremony and the presence of visiting family members for that event would discourage students from misbehaving on prom night or turning prom night into prom weekend. With limited venues to host a prom of our size, as well as schools securing venues a year in advance, it is difficult to change weekends.</span></div>

Many runners are quick to point out the 18-20 mile mark as both a physical and psychological hurdle for them. Next, I like to ask them how they were able to push on after this point in the race. As common as their answer of 18-20 miles may be, their answer to the next question is anything but consistent or common.</span></div>

We'll be needing volunteers for Friday evening, April 7th, for the set-up (taping out booths, putting up signs, etc.). We will also need students on the day of the event with two time slots available. Our biggest need on Saturday is from 6:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. helping the vendors bring all of their items into the building. Throughout the day, we'll also need help with concessions, providing general information, and helping vendors take items back to their vehicles.</span></div>

Listed below is a link to the Holiday Craft Fair Volunteer sign-up page. Please take a few moments to let your students know about this volunteer opportunity and encourage them to help out at the Craft Fair. Your help is truly appreciated. We know this is the same day as the ACT so that will make it impossible for some students to volunteer on Saturday. That's why we really need your help to get the word out to all the students.</span></div>
