Monthly "Caregiver Connection" Meetings

Maine East values the partnership between our school and all of the caregivers (parents, guardians, grandparents, etc.) who support our students. We invite all caregivers to join us for monthly, in-person meetings with Dr. Pikul and other members of the administrative team to get updates on various topics pertaining to student experiences at Maine East. 

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 25th at 7:00 p.m. on the gathering stairs in center court. This meeting will feature our School Resource Officer, Kevin Ryan, from the Park Ridge Police Department and our Assistant Principals for Student Support.  We look forward to sharing with you updates about current health and behavior trends in our students with a focus on vaping.  We hope you'll join us for this important information!

Please park in the east parking lot by the tennis courts and enter through the bus shelter doors (door #3). Signs will point the way to the meeting location.  

Please use this form to RSVP if you plan to attend - thank you! 

Please save the dates below for upcoming meetings this semester.

Tuesday, November 15th, 7:00 p.m.

We hope you can join us! 

60 Junior leaders took to Barrington Teams Course to work collaboratively, develop team and individual trust initiatives, and further enhance group bonding.

We put the students' individual fitness challenges to the test by welcoming the United States Marines. Students pushed through an 800 meter run, 30 lb. endurance challenge, and obstacle course. 

Tremendous effort was exhibited by all!

Earn College Credit through the Seal of Biliteracy!

Does your grade 12 student read, write, and speak another language? Has your student earned a minimum of a 480 on the EBRW portion of the SAT or a 4.8 on the ACCESS test?

If so, they may qualify for the state Seal of Biliteracy. The Seal is awarded to students who can demonstrate proficiency in the English Language and another language. They will be honored at Senior Honors AND will earn college credit.

Starting on 9/19, students can sign up in the Maine East Bookstore. I will follow up with your student to schedule their non-English language test. The test is free of charge.

Ms. Baima will contact registered students to set up a date and a time for testing.
