Dear Parents:
Thank you to all who attended Parent – Teacher conferences in November.
Your
involvement as parents and family members in your Tomcats’ education is vital as they progress through their high school years! Thank you to our partners at North
Central College for sponsoring a college fair at the November Parent Teacher
Conferences, which provided an opportunity for parents to speak with
representatives from several colleges and universities. I encourage all parents to
continue to communicate with their son or daughter’s teachers throughout the school year to keep abreast of their academic progress.
As we move towards the end of the first semester, we continue to focus on
improving student achievement in reading. Once a month, we set aside time for
students to read independently during their second period classes. We strongly
encourage all of our students to read for at least 20 minutes per day outside of
school. All students are required to read a minimum of one book per semester in
addition to homework or other reading assignments required in each subject area.
As parents, we ask that you work with us to ensure that your son or daughter to
meets this daily goal.
Our English Department teachers have generated a list of their choices of the top
100 books for students to read. We have included the top 25 titles in this
newsletter. I encourage parents to read along with their sons and daughters as a
way to help them appreciate and enjoy reading as an outside activity.
Congratulations to the students who performed in the fall EAHS drama production
of The Wiz! The actors, band, tech crew and stage design and construction team
did a fabulous job creating a magical evening for all who attended!
Have a wonderful holiday season!
Sincerely,
F ebruary 20

Professional Learning Communities
East Aurora High School is diving to Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)! PLCs bring teachers
together to discuss, plan, and focus on students. Over the last few years, East Aurora High School
developed and implemented curriculum across all subject areas areas. This experience increased the
rigor of what our students learn. We also created common 4½ week assessments in all subject
areas. These assessments provide teachers and administrators data to identify strengths and
weaknesses of the students’ performance.
The focus of the PLCs this year will be focusing
on increasing student achievement and
performance.
The PLCs meet monthly to
discuss and brainstorm different ways to help
students be more successful. In addition to the
PLC meetings, East Aurora school district has
incorporated two Late Start Days. On February
15th, 2012 and April 18th, 2012, the students will
start at 9:45 am. This will give teachers additional time to collaborate and develop strategies for
increasing student success.
Comunidades Profesionales de Aprendizaje
La Escuela Secundaria del Este de Aurora está acudiendo a Comunidades Profesionales de
Aprendizaje (Professional Learning Communities- PLCs). PLCs brindan maestros unidos para
debatir, planear, y se enfocan en los estudiantes. En estos últimos años, la Escuela Secundaria del
Este de Aurora ha desarrollado e implementado un plan de estudios a través de todas las áreas de
los cursos. Esta experiencia incrementa el rigor de lo que aprenden nuestros estudiantes. Nosotros
también hemos creado en común 4½ semanas de evaluaciones en todas las áreas de los cursos.
Estas evaluaciones proporcionan a los maestros y a los administradores información para identificar
las fortalezas y debilidades del desempeño de los estudiantes.
El enfoque de PLCs este año estará dirigido a incrementar el rendimiento de los estudiantes y sus
logros. PLCs se reúne mensualmente para discutir y compartir ideas de las diferentes formas de
ayudar a los estudiantes a tener más éxito. Además de las reuniones de PLCs, el Distrito escolar de
Aurora ha incorporado dos días con diferente hora ingreso Late Start Days. El 15 de febrero del
2012 y el 18 de abril del 2012, los estudiantes ingresaran a las 9:45 am. Esto les dará a los maestros
tiempo adicional para desarrollar y colaborar en estrategias para incrementar el éxito estudiantil.

This month in December we are featuring:
LEAFY GREENS – as the name implies, are plant leaves that are cooked and eaten as a vegetable
and are sometimes accompanied by additional stems or stalks. Leafy greens include many items
ranging from lettuce to cabbage to Swiss chard! They have a variety of nutritional benefits,

them out, then cook over medium heat until they‛re set.
5. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, arrange the spinach over 1/3 of the eggs, then
gently fold the remaining eggs over the spinach and egg to make a rolled omelet.
