					<description><![CDATA[Dear Amundsen Staff and Families,

I hope that the school year is off to a positive start for you and your students. 

Today, I am writing to provide an important update regarding the leadership of our girls' volleyball team. Effective immediately, Coach Amy Jacobson is no longer part of the athletic program at Amundsen. 

Our athletic directors and school administration are fully committed to ensuring a smooth and successful transition as we seek the best possible candidate to lead our team. We are actively conducting a thorough search for a new head coach who will uphold the high standards of our program and support the continued development of our athletes. In the meantime, Ms. Raquel Acosta, our school’s P.E. teacher, will be stepping up as interim girls varsity volleyball coach. 

Our focus remains maintaining the integrity of our program and providing a positive experience for all of our student athletes. If you have any questions regarding this change, please feel free to reach out to me directly. 

Sincerely,

Principal Eilers


Estimadas familias y personal de Amundsen: 

Espero que el año escolar esté comenzando positivamente para ustedes y sus estudiantes. 

Hoy les escribo para darles una actualización importante sobre el liderazgo de nuestro equipo de voleibol femenino. A partir de ahora, la entrenadora Amy Jacobson no formará parte del programa académico de Amundsen. 

Nuestros directores atléticos y administración escolar están completamente comprometidos con asegurar una transición fluida y exitosa a medida que buscamos la mejor persona para dirigir a nuestro equipo. Actualmente buscamos detenidamente un nuevo entrenador principal que mantenga los altos estándares de nuestro programa y apoye el desarrollo continuo de nuestros atletas. Mientras tanto, Raquel Acosta, nuestra maestra de educación física, pasará a ser la entrenadora de voleibol femenino interina.  

Nuestro enfoque permanece siendo el mantenimiento de la integridad de nuestro programa y darles una experiencia positiva a todos nuestros estudiantes atletas. De tener alguna pregunta sobre este cambio, favor contactarme directamente.

					<description><![CDATA[Back to school means the Back to School Boost, Friends of Amundsen’s 6th annual back-to-school fundraising campaign supporting an important Amundsen initiative. 

This year’s Back to School Boost is the most critical Boost campaign to date.

Amundsen is facing a budget deficit due to a combination of budget cuts (explained in Principal Eilers’ May 2023 email to parents) and the increasing expense of running the school. Simply put, the money allocated by CPS is not enough to cover the cost of classroom and school-wide resources. Now more than ever, we’re relying on the support of our community to ensure that our students continue to receive the quality education they deserve. 

Your contribution will play a vital role in offsetting the cost of school operations and maintaining the smooth functioning of our educational programs. Boost donations will be allocated to critical areas such as instructional materials, student transportation, software, technology equipment, office supplies, and more.

The 2023 Boost goal is to raise $50,000 by September 30. This amount will not fully bridge Amundsen’s 2023-24 budget deficit, but it will significantly address the school’s most important operational and educational needs. Every contribution—large and small—will help us reach this ambitious, yet achievable fundraising goal.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Amundsen’s Japanese program is partnering with Whitney Young to coordinate family hosts for around 60 Japanese high school students visiting Chicago the week of March 18-25. As part of this, Amundsen is looking for 30 families to host a student in their home for this week.

The Japanese students will attend Amundsen with their American host student and share in your family’s life for the week. For Amundsen students taking Japanese, it’s a great language opportunity, but it is not a requirement that someone in your family is taking Japanese or speaks the language.

Are you interested in this great opportunity for cultural exchange and fun? Want to learn more? Please email Amundsen’s Japanese teacher, Rolf Pelkey, for further information: repelkey@cps.edu.]]></description>

All staff and students that consented to test during the regular school year will be eligible to participate in summer school testing. Regular weekly testing will be provided by Thermo Fisher. 

Modified Test to Stay

After hearing positive feedback from parents and school leaders, the Modified Test to Stay program that was piloted at 40 schools during last school year will continue to be an option for summer school programs.

We know that keeping students and staff in the classroom safely is absolutely critical to learning and development, and giving individuals the Test to Stay option is an important tool. 

Here's how the program works:


Unvaccinated students and staff that are identified as a close contacts will have three options:

Work/learn from home for five calendar days per CDC guidelines and wear a mask on days 6-10

Continue to work/learn in-person by submitting proof of full vaccination to their school

Continue to work/learn in person through Test to Stay.

Individuals who exercise the Test to Stay option must:

Test negative on the next immediate Monday or Thursday and the following Monday or Thursday following exposure and submit their results to cps.edu/covidresults

Remain symptom free

Wear a mask in school for ten calendar days following exposure

When a case is confirmed, the Office of Student Health and Wellness (OSHW) will reach out to the school leader and ask if they would like to offer the Test to Stay option to the unvaccinated close contacts of that case. OSHW will then walk the school leader through implementation of the program, and will provide a guide with protocols and  communications templates for communicating with individuals who have been exposed.

Compliance Summer Testing

Unvaccinated student-athletes will also be required to test this summer using rapid antigen test kits. Distribution plans for testing kits are in development in collaboration with the Office of Sports Administration. Unvaccinated athletes will be required to test twice a week (Monday and Thursday) and report the results to cps.edu/covidresults.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[THANK YOU so much for supporting our AHS Student Event! 
Due to our Haunted House being SOLD OUT and the weather not cooperating, we have to make some adjustments for Friday evening's Haunted House event: 

-NO tickets will be sold at the door. We are completely SOLD OUT. 
-Doors will open at 4:45pm (auditorium door #1) to begin scanning and grouping ticket holders. 
-We will begin taking groups into the Haunted House at 5:00pm (a half hour earlier than our anticipated start time). 
-We will be closing and locking the doors at 7:30pm sharp! We must ensure the event ends with the last group leaving by 8:00pm, not starting. Any paying customers that can not enter prior to 7:30pm or are turned away at the door can be refunded if necessary. 

We hope you all enjoy the event! Scare You SOON!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[AHS leadership is hard at work organizing an extra special prom-style celebration for the Class of 2021. With the help of an expert planner, the school’s back parking lot will be transformed into a safe, festive outdoor venue. The student fee for this prom-style celebration is $100. However, additional funding is needed to ensure all seniors have the opportunity to attend and that we give the Class of 2021 a Viking-worthy night to remember! The Friends of Amundsen prom fundraising campaign will help pay for outdoor party needs including tents and other enhancements needed to turn a parking lot into a safe and memorable venue. The goal is to raise $2,500 by Friday, June 4. Click on the link above to show your support!  Thank you for your generosity!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[18 Amundsen students participated in the 2021 Illinois Japan Bowl on Saturday, March 13, 2021. The Illinois Japan Bowl is an academic competition that tests Illinois high school students who are studying the Japanese language on a wide range of topics including their knowledge of the language and their understanding of traditional and modern Japan. One Amundsen team comprised of Matthew Bell, Kailey Garcia, and Carmen Garcia, won 2nd place at the Level 3 competition behind the UChicago Lab School, beating out New Trier Township HS who came in 3rd.  We are so proud of our Japanese Language Vikings and of their teacher, Ms. Hitomi Kameyama, for this great achievement.  Congratulations to all!]]></description>

Although we think most students have been told by their teachers about where to go on Monday, we know that students who have new schedules may be lost.  Students who need assistance can visit meet.google.com and type in "Viking Navigators" to get help from an Amundsen staff member.  The room opens at 7:30AM and will be available throughout the day.  We encourage students to visit the student portal as well to look for links to their new Google Classrooms before they visit the Navigators since most information should be there.

Over 30 Viking volunteers made & delivered goodies for 130 AHS teachers and staff which means over 1,500 cookies were made!  

We know families are facing many challenges this year, and this extra effort in the midst of remote learning and everything else that is happening is truly appreciated.  Your efforts created little bright spots in our day and reminded us all once again how lucky we are to work at Amundsen.  Thank you FOA!

To learn about the many great clubs at Amundsen, join us for Amundsen's annual Club-A-Palooza event, which is happening after school on Monday and Tuesday, September 21st and 22nd.  See the flyer above for details.  Hope to see you there!]]></description>

				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.amundsenhs.org/apps/news/article/1013687</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Thank you for purchasing tickets to the Raise the Sails Fundraiser, your
support of Friends of Amundsen is so appreciated. As you all know, the
health and safety of our students and community is our highest
priority. After careful consideration, and in light of the ever-changing
Coronavirus (COVID-19) developments, Raise the Sails has been
postponed until Spring 2021. We are all disappointed, but look forward to
gathering together in the future in support of Amundsen.

Our plan is to transfer the purchased 2020 event tickets and 'Heads and
Tails' to the 2021 event. If you are unable to attend next spring, please
consider your purchase as a tax-deductible donation to Friends of
Amundsen. If you prefer a refund, please email us at
friendsofamundsen@gmail.com.

Stay tuned for the 'Scooter Raffle' this Fall! All tickets purchased are valid and
will be in the fall drawing. Since the students were participating in this effort
and with remote learning in place, we feel it is best to postpone the drawing
and ticket sales for full participation.

We hope you can all still be part of Raise the Sails 2021. The latest
information will always be available at friendsofamundsen.org. Thank you
for your understanding and if you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to reach out.

We hope you all are all staying safe and healthy during this
unprecedented time. We look forward to seeing our Amundsen community in person very soon.

The Friends of Amundsen]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Congratulations to the Amundsen Class of 2022 for achieving a Freshmen-on-Track rate of 97% during the first semester!  The FOT rate s a key predictor of high school success. Students who finish the ninth-grade year on track are almost four times as likely to graduate from high school as students who are not on track.  We are proud of our freshmen and their teachers for working so hard to make sure that the class of 2022 is on the right path for college and career success.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You could hang out at the beach but why not apply to an enrichment program?  Enrichment opportunities are offered by universities, foundations, government offices, and businesses.  They allow students to learn new skills and to discover future careers.  Students can do STEM internships, work for a public official, and take early college classes.  Many enrichment programs are free and others provide scholarships.  Some programs are local, and others involve travel.  Amundsen provides help and support to students applying to these opportunities through scheduled info sessions and by providing a regularly updated list of opportunities that is linked to the AHS website (top right-hand corner).  All students are encouraged to apply to these programs and to check out the AHS calendar for the dates of upcoming information sessions.]]></description>
