for $9.95 a month, a computer for $150, and free
Internet training. In its first year, more than 13,000

NEW GRADUATION
HONORS SYSTEM
BROADENS RECOGNITION
In the spring of 2011 the District 126 Board of
Education approved the Cum Laude system as a
replacement for the upper 10% formula for
recognizing graduating seniors. The Cum Laude
system has been in place since the 2011-2012
School Year. It was also determined that the
distinguishing of Valedictorian and Salutatorian
would be discontinued after the Class of 2015. The
District’s rationale for the change was to eliminate
the outmoded recognition system in order to honor
more students for their academic accomplishments.
Adopting this new system will also provide
additional flexibility for students by encouraging
them to take non-weighted classes that relate to
their interests and career goals. Class rank will still
be established and used solely for the purpose of
college applications and scholarships. For more
information, contact Director of Student Services
Steve Richter, at 847-731-9340.
FREE ONLINE TUTORING
FROM ZB PUBLIC LIBRARY
The ZB Public Library offers free
online tutoring from 2-11 p.m.
daily. Students connect with a LIVE
tutor who chats online with them in
order to help them answer questions. Students need
a ZB Library Card to access this resource. Please
visit http://zblibrary.info/ under eResources or call
847-872-4680 for more information.
Students can also find homework help at
www.zbths.org. ZBTHS students’ help is under
“IMC”, then “Research”. (It is necessary to log in
with school log in and password.) NT@ZB students
go to the www.ntzb.org, under “Resources”, then
“Media Center”.
WAY TO GO BEES!!! All ZeeBees who participated in
the Zion Community of Character
Walk on September 11. ZeeBees

commitment.

college, studying marine biology, and working in the microorganism or marine psychology field. The 21st Century technological skills
and workplace professional skills Jessica is learning are what she likes about New Tech. Try hard with a good attitude are Jessica’s
words to her classmates. On that note…we salute Jessica for her achievements at New Tech and wish her continued success.

to play the violin and piano. Demetria plans on attending college next year and majoring in molecular biology and then one day

Tech. “Don’t procrastinate,” are Demetria’s words to her classmates. Good luck Demetria in your future.

BULLYING PREVENTION
At our schools, bullying of any kind, by any person, is unacceptable. All students should
be free from worries about being bullied. Students who bully others must be taught other,
appropriate ways of interacting with peers. The purpose of this letter is to provide you
with information concerning the School District’s anti-bullying program and to
encourage you to help us identify students who are being bullied.
The School Board policy on bullying begins with this goals statement:
Bullying, intimidation, and harassment diminish a student’s ability to learn and a
school’s ability to educate. Preventing students from engaging in these disruptive
behaviors is an important District goal.
Bullying is defined as follows:
Bullying means any severe or pervasive physical or verbal act or conduct,
including communications made in writing or electronically, directed toward a
student that has or can be reasonably predicted to have the effect of one or more
of the following:
1. Placing the student in reasonable fear of harm to the student’s person or
property.
2. Causing a substantially detrimental effect on the student’s physical or mental
health.
3. Substantially interfering with the student’s academic performance.
4. Substantially interfering with the student’s ability to participate in or benefit
from the services, activities, or privileges provided by a school.
Bullying, intimidation, and/or harassment may take various forms, including without
limitation: threats, stalking, physical violence, sexual harassment, theft, public
humiliation, destruction of property, or retaliation for asserting or alleging an act of
bullying.
We asked our school staff members to respond immediately and with compassion to a
student who reports bullying or school violence. After evaluating the situation to
determine if an immediate referral to an administrative office is needed, a staff member
will give the student our form for reporting bullying, Report Form for Bullying and
School Violence. We, or our designee, will inform you whenever your child is involved
in a bullying report.
We also asked our staff members for their feedback and concerns specifically regarding
locations that may be bullying hot spots needing additional supervision or monitoring
or if there are any known bullies or targets of bullying in our building. We want to ask
you to do the same thing. Please inform us if you know of any bullying hot spots in or
around our school, or if you are aware of a known bully or target of bullying.
Finally, we requested our staff members to intervene immediately to stop a bullying
incident. They will immediately contact building security and or law enforcement if the
incident involves a weapon or other illegal activity.
Below are some of the signs that a young person is being bullied:
Does not want to go to school and refuses to explain the reason
Talks about not having any friends
Has unexplained bruises, cuts, scratches, or abrasions
Has unexplained damage to clothing, possessions, books, etc.
Frequently loses money or possessions
Loses interest in school and/or has declining grades
Becomes withdrawn and/or has stress or depression symptoms
These signs do not necessarily mean your child is being bullied, but if present, ask your
child whether he or she is being bullied.
Please contact us, your building principals, with questions or concerns.
