This past week, the students and staff of ASCA completed a survey for the Diocese of Joliet school accreditation process that I have previously spoken of.  Please go to the link below and complete the parent survey. We ask that you complete the survey by March 1st.  The Diocesan Parent letter outlining the improvement process is included with this newsletter.

Fr Belmonte’s note:

Parents,

In an effort to improve our school system practices, the Diocese of Joliet Catholic Schools Office is conducting a Parent Survey. We value your opinion and ask that you take the time to complete this survey.

In order to complete the survey, please go to: Parent Survey, or http://www.advanc-ed.org/survey/public/section/response/begin?surveyConfigId=198309

ASCA, along with many other schools in the area, will be teaming up with Raging Waves Waterpark in Yorkville, Illinois for their Plunge into Fitness challenge. All students at ASCA in K- 8th grade are invited to Plunge into Fitness this spring as Raging Waves Waterpark joins the battle against childhood obesity. The fitness initiative will run from February 17th through April 11th, and each child completing the program requirements during this seven-week period will receive a free Raging Waves full day admission pass valued at $28.  All K-8^th grade students will receive a fitness log (extra fitness logs per grade level are available in the school office) from Mrs. Abrams the week of February 10^th.  Starting February 17^th students will color in one item on the fitness log for every 30 minutes of exercise.  After 25 hours have been logged, students can turn in their log sheet to Mrs. Abrams the week of April 11^th.  Soon after, students will receive their free waterpark pass to be used this summer.  If you have any questions, please contact Carla Griffin at carla_griffin@ipsd.org.
