Congratulations on making it through your first quarter of freshman year! High school sure is different from elementary school, but you all transitioned like rockstars. Use the next few weeks to solidify your grades. Remember, your Quarter 1 grades will be averaged with your Quarter 2 grades to come up with your first semester grade in February. And, semester grades are what make up your GPA. Remember we are aiming for B’s or BETTER!
|
The block scheduling has been an adjustment for all of us. After this week’s schedule, we are looking forward to week 10 when we will revert to our regular ABABC schedule. We have noticed a big decline in attendance on Fridays and would love to see our freshmen in all classes each day. Let’s beat the other grade levels’ attendance and get to above 80% attendance EVERY DAY next week!
|
In English I, we are excited to be introducing new texts to students and engaging in conversations around books in our novel unit. Ms. Ziemniak and Ms. Redman’s classes will begin reading “American Street.” Mrs. Potter and Mr. Nadeau's classes will begin reading “Song Below Water.” Get your reading glasses out and get ready to experience some amazing writing.
|
In Integrated Math, we will be working on expressions and equations. We will be making sense of problems and persevering as we solve them. Get your calculators ready!
|
In Civics/Freshmen Seminar, we will be working on analyzing court cases, keeping our eyes on current events and diving into the impact we have on ourselves, each other, and society. The jury is in, and the verdict on this unit is... GUILTY of being a great time!
|
In Biology, students will be diving into their ecology unit where they will learn about species interactions, food webs, and the role of humans in our global ecosystem. (Oh my!)
|
In Spanish, we will be learning how to describe ourselves and others in Spanish. In Heritage Spanish we will be looking at social media and marketing this unit! ¡Va a ser un gran momento!

If you are looking to socialize with your peers, sign up for a club! Clubs are in full gear! Also look out for invites from Ms. Redman for upcoming Movie Nights!

In the past, students have built their own business, created highlight videos, and solved community issues.

Hey there Wildcat!!!! Coach Lopez here.
|
Alumni Class of 2010 and the Captain of the Girls Swim Team. What can I say about myself other than I am a Driven, hard working, Distinct, Wildcat Woman. Humboldt Park is where I come from and I have always been extremely Proud of that.
|
This year has been different with so many things. We have had to learn to change and adapt our normal to a new Pandemic style of normal. One of the things that changed was our ability to hang out and be in our Respective Sports with our team mates letting loose after a long day.
|
|
I’m hoping that maybe I can help you. I am offering,Swim Club and Swim Team after School.
|
This is one of the only Sports that we can offer in this Pandemic. There are alot of benefits to Swimming that will help you especially if you’re already an athlete. Swimming helps build your stamina and endurance. Swimming is a total body workout that will transform your body and your mind. Swimming is a team sport with a lot of individual events. This sport will challenge you and build mental focus and your own self discipline all while learning something new and trying something different. If there’s one thing that this sport has taught me in all my years it's definitely mental focus and perseverance.
|
|
It's necessary for us to have an outlet. It’s necessary to have a Safe Haven. I am hoping that I can help you with that.
