Principal's Newsletter
"End of the Year" Edition

Glenbard West Community -
It is hard to believe, but this is the final newsletter of the 2020-2021 school year. I encourage everyone to carefully look it over and review parts of it with your student(s). Within this communication, you will find information related to everything from finals to student recognition to important dates moving into our next school year. Most importantly, you should see that we have some incredible students deserving of recognition. It is a continual reminder that Glenbard West benefits hugely from our senior leaders who help us to set the stage for our entire student body. They provide a template of leadership, work ethic, and character that our younger students look up to. Take a look at our Ray Livingston and Rotary award winners in particular, and you will see what I mean.
As you may know, Glenbard West is now in the middle of our “Teacher Appreciation Week.” It is so important and appropriate to recognize the incredible teaching staff that we have at this school. Our teachers are student-centered in their approach and they are committed to a growth mindset where continual improvement is at the heart of their craft. As a building, we look to build positive relationships with our students, helping them to achieve their dreams and supporting them in their struggles. Last week, parents from our West Nation provided a wonderful lunch that demonstrated the kind of support that we regularly receive from our parent organizations. I encourage everyone to support the outstanding role our teachers play in shaping our future world.
Finally, as some of you might know, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Our related services team, comprised of social workers, school psychologist and others, have been partnering with our physical education teachers in providing presentations around mental health and suicide awareness. Our teams will continue to work with students as we emphasize the need for student wellness and provide necessary supports for all Glenbard West students. As we start to recover from the pandemic, our work in assuring the mental health and wellness of our students is more important than ever.
To all parents and guardians, thank you for your ongoing support of our students and the entire Glenbard West learning community.
Go West!

In honor of former Superintendent Raymond W. Livingston, the Board of Education has instituted a Human Relations Award. The award is bestowed upon ten students from each Glenbard High School each year. It honors students who have demonstrated real concern for others and have promoted positive, caring relationships among social groups regardless of race, sex, religion, ethnicity, economic level, physical ability, or academic prowess. These students exhibit courage in defending the rights of others and befriend others regardless of socio-economic, racial, religious, ethnic, or academic background. They have shown consistent kindness and courtesy to staff and other students. They have also performed and sustained volunteer work within their school or community and continue to exhibit a cooperative spirit consistently with students and staff in classrooms and co-curricular activities.
Join me in congratulating these outstanding individuals.

NEWS FROM STUDENT SERVICES |
|
|
|
As we conclude this VERY unique school year and enter the summer months, it is important to reflect and show gratitude for where we have been and where we are at right now. We have come a long way as a community and we want to first thank you as parents/guardians for your resilience, flexibility, and adaptability through this process. There have been so many unknowns and changes that you and your family have had to adjust to. This was probably not easy as there were several factors to juggle. So please take a moment to applaud yourselves! Job well done.
As we enter the next few months, the Student Services department wanted to give you a few tips/recommendations to support your student during summer and as we prepare for next school year, given we are still in the midst of the global pandemic. We don’t want to be a broken record, but it is vital that we continue to emphasize the important ways to Slow the Spread of the CoronaVirus such as:
- Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others.
- Enjoy yourself outside, but stay socially distant whenever possible in public spaces.
- Consider a COVID-19 vaccine when it is available to you and/or your student.
- Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
During unstructured times, such as the summer break, it is important to help our students navigate and manage their time effectively and efficiently. As we know, idle time can cause boredom which may lead to unhealthy choices. According to research from Psychology in the Schools, students benefit from structured activities which generate higher levels of self-esteem, satisfaction, engagement in life activities, and overall improved mental health. Encourage your student to stay in stride, take care of themselves, and stay productive. Below are a few ideas for your student to consider:
- Obtain a summer job.
-
Join a summer camp in Glen Ellyn (link), Glendale Heights (link), or Downers Grove (link).
- Have fun outside!
- Go to a drive-in movie.
-
Volunteer in the community (link).
-
Enroll in a FREE Bridge summer school class, credit course (link).
Finally, if you are concerned about your students’ mental health, here are a few local counseling resources to consider during the summer months:

Glenbard District 87 is developing a robust summer program
The effects of the pandemic have had an impact on everyone, none greater than our community's greatest investment: our students. This past year's journey has challenged and stretched each developing and maturing adolescent academically, socially and emotionally. Our talented teachers and staff have been flexible, resourceful and worked tirelessly to address each student's needs. Yet we know that regardless when the pandemic ends, we will need to provide comprehensive and customized support. A key aspect of this work under way is the development of a robust and authentic free summer school program, funded through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Fund (ESSER II) program. Leveraging the summer months will be critical in normalizing each student's academic strength, daily routine, personal confidence, as well important peer and adult relationships.
Glenbard's annual summer school programming, typically attended by 2,400 students, includes credit recovery courses, bridge classes and credit courses to accelerate. Planning for this summer; however, is unique. We anticipate this summer to be our largest summer program ever, with more students enrolling at this link each day.
The following are key aspects that are being integrated into our planning:
- We avoid phrases such as "learning loss," "student deficits" and "remedial needs" as these tend to label students negatively and erode their confidence. Statements centered on building a positive mindset will lead to a student's personal and academic success.
- We have designed new enrichment courses to help students sharpen skills in argumentative writing and several levels of math.
- Many of our courses are offered with both in-person and remote learning opportunities to maximize participation of all students.
- Paramount, will be designed learning activities that are meaningful, authentic and challenging. Tedious tasks requiring redundant skill practice or rote memorization will not be effective and should be avoided.
- Recognizing and honoring each student's perseverance and resilience as they have navigated through this difficult year will be a necessary foundational beginning point.
- Assessing a student's strengths and abilities, along with growth areas, is important in building ownership of their academic success.
- We will carefully assess what students need socially and emotionally, not just what is academically important. This often requires intentionally reaching out to parents and guardians to listen and understand.
- We will structure effective individual and small group tutoring sessions, which will be interactive and student-centered.
Our teachers’ instruction focuses on the six qualities in our Profile of a Graduate that we want each of our graduates to have. These traits include:
● Communicates
● Collaborates
● Thinks Critically
● Embraces Diversity
● Creates and
● Is Self-Empowered
The competency Is Self-Empowered states, “Students will employ a growth mindset that includes self-regulation, motivation, and resiliency”. The customized opportunities noted above will enable students to become more self-empowered and supported along the way.
Historically, previous generations have helped shape our great country through periods of hardship and difficulty, including the Great Depression, World War I, World War II, and the Civil Rights Era. I am confident that our amazing students, as we intentionally guide and support them in the coming months, will be our models of resiliency, perseverance and resolve. In addition to learning content, our students have gained critical skills, including communication, collaboration, grit and technology skills. I am confident in their abilities and optimistic about their future.
