Athletics
Wildcat Football kicks off another season tonight at Memorial Field! Squad theme is White Lies, so if you've got a plain white t-shirt, a black sharpie, and a sense of humor, you should be good to go! Before it all gets underway, we spent a little time with Coach Chavez to hear about the team's goals and a handful of students to test WeGo's football knowledge! Remember to make it a Fun Friday!

Student Support Initiative
West Chicago Community High School is pleased to announce the implementation of a new program this August, the “Student Support Initiative” (SSI). Thanks to the support of the District 94 School Board and the West Chicago Community High School Teachers’ Association, all students will participate in SSI as part of their weekly class schedule this year.
What is the Student Support Initiative?
SSI is a thirty minute period that students will attend on Tuesdays through Fridays in addition to their classes. This period is called “Den Time” since it is designed to create a sense of community.

Two days a week, students will participate in guided lessons created by District 94 teachers. These lessons focus on social-emotional learning (SEL) topics such as self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, social awareness, and relationship skills based on the work of the Collaborative for Academic Social, and Emotional Learning or CASEL.

New Daily Class Schedule
Due to the addition of the Student Support Initiative, the Daily Class Schedule has been revised to allow for "Den Time". Class periods will run forty-six minutes. Den Time is scheduled between 3rd and 4th period from 10:28 a.m. to 10:58 a.m. For detailed information on the Student Support Initiative with lessons during Den Time, visit www.d94.org/SSI.
Another change to the Daily Class Schedule includes the Late Start Monday schedule. Late Start Mondays are all Mondays in the school year with the exception of holidays that fall on Mondays, the first day of school on August 15, and September 19, November 28, and April 24.
Finally the Assembly Schedule and Half Day Schedule are included as well for easy reference.
