• Preparing Athletes for College

• For the past few years, District #117 has sent a good number of student-athletes to continue their athletic careers in college. If this is a possibility for your child, please be aware of the NCAA regulations. To help with the college admission process we have some opportunities this fall to learn about NCAA eligibility and recruiting information. The first opportunity will occur on Monday, September 13th, when Lake Zurich will host the North Suburban Conference College Athletic Evening at 7:00 pm at Lake Zurich High School. The other opportunity will be at both Lakes and Antioch at their respective annual college information nights.  One of the workshops held will go over specific NCAA eligibility information. September 14th is College Night at Lakes, and October 19th is College Night at Antioch.

   

• Back to School Night

• Please plan on joining District #117 staff on Wednesday September 1, 2010 at our annual ‘Back to School Night’ at both Antioch and Lakes High Schools. This evening provides a wonderful opportunity to interact with your child’s teachers, receive an overview of the curriculum, and gain perspective on what our students experience on a given day. We hope to see all our parents at this important event.

• Here We Go!

• Both Antioch and Lakes have been incredibly busy the past few weeks with a flurry of activity in preparation for the first day of school on August 17th. Our sports programs opened the season with tremendous participation numbers across the board, while the band and choir camps have generated a ton of positive energy.  Freshmen Orientation provided valuable insights for the Class of 2014 as its members prepare to conquer the demands of high school. For our staff, we have conducted an Administrator’s Academy, New Teacher Orientation, and an in-service on the use of technology in the classroom. We are extremely excited about the upcoming year and eagerly anticipate the opening bell. It should be a wonderful ride.
