Conferences
Conferences are October 21 and 22 from 4:30 to 7:30. They will be conducted virtually. Please check with teachers if you didn't receive the Sign Up Genius link for their class and wish to schedule a conferences. Priority should be given to students struggling in class due to the limited number of slots available in this format.
Schedules
Make sure to follow the remote learning schedule provided in the district's parent handbook. Students should be checking in daily to all classes and having their attendance confirmed by their teacher by attending class.
Remote Learning Websites are Live
New classroom websites are live! Benny's remote learning websites contain information about teachers and their classroom, and will list assignments that students are to complete each week. This is not a substitute for Google Classroom; all student work will be there. This tool is a way for parents to keep track of what's going on in your child's grade level and classes. Please be patient as this is still in construction, and not all teachers have had time to complete their pages. If you cannot find information from a teacher your child has, make sure your child checks email and Remind for information.

Buy Your Yearbook and Help Create the 2020-21 Yearbook
Yearbooks are $15 - an outstanding price for a 48-page full-color yearbook we believe is the best in Waukegan! Buy online at book.hrimaging.com. This year's yearbook will be interesting! We hope to generate a lot of student content this year despite our situation. Students interested in being storytellers and having their work published in this year's yearbook should contact Mr. Nicolosi (jnicolosi@wps60.org) to start planning their contribution.
