From the Desk of Central Road Principal
Jenny Garcia-Macko
I hope you had a wonderful break! It’s been fun listening to your children’s amazing stories of holiday
travel and family fun. I want to take a moment to
thank you for your gift of time and donations last
month; your generosity made special celebrations
possible for several families.
District 15 has developed an additional option called Delayed
Start to consider on a day with inclement weather. We would not
have to cancel school for the day so the school year will not have
to be extended. A Delayed Start is a day in which students began
school two hours later than a normal school day due to inclement
weather. It is a regular workday for staff and administration. The
decision to implement this option will be made no later than 5
a.m. on the day of a Delayed Start. Parents/guardians will be notified through voice mail, e-mail, and announcements that will be
posted on the District 15 website and Chicago-area media outlets.
We were recently notified that District 15 will be administering the PARCC paper-based test to students in grades 3-8 for
Spring 2015. The decision was made after extensive field-testing
of the computer-based PARCC assessment. The Performance
Based Assessment (PBA) is scheduled for March 9-20; the dates
for the End of Year (EOY) Assessment in May have yet to be finalized by the state. Even with these new developments, our
PTA Publication | Illinois PTA District 37 | Volume 18 | Issue #5 | February, 2015
focus continues to be on providing excellent instruction and the
best learning opportunities for Central Road students.
After break, students attended a short PBIS (Positive Behavior
Implementation and Support) Station Rotations to briefly review
expectations for being respectful, responsible and safe in all areas
of Central Road. Please review these strategies at home and encourage students to use them, and praise them for being good role
models. Visitors will often stop me to compliment our students
for being so polite and respectful. Thank you, parents, for being
such positive role models!
Lastly, we have several new staff members at Central Road.
Please help us welcome Mrs. Sue Marvin, Reading Assistant;
Mrs. Jackie Laboda, Reading Assistant; Ms. Nadia Alvarez, Occupational Therapist; and Ms. Cindy Saunders who is a long-term
substitute teacher for Mrs. Jamie Rocha. We are delighted to have
them join our Central Road staff!
As we move into the cold winter months, please be sure to
send your child to school with winter coats, gloves, hats, scarves
and boots. We will be going outside for at least 20 minutes during
the lunch period unless the temperature is below zero. Thank you
for your ongoing support. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best wishes for a
happy and healthy New Year!

PTA de prensa: Lobos mantener caliente!
Por Shannon Puleo
Cuando hace frío, el talento Wolves lo lleva a la calidez de la
playa! Concurso de talentos anual del Centro Road te mantendrá caliente sólo de pensarlo. El tema de este año es Beach
Bash y se llevará a cabo este fin de semana, 6 y 7 de febrero (en
la Conyers a las 7 pm). No puedo esperar a ver nuestras chicas
y chicos ‘surfers’ levantan un poco de arena en la playa (estadio)!
El 10 de febrero y 11 de nuestros lobos grado sexto estará llegando a los tribunales para el torneo anual de’ two ball’. Buena
suerte a nuestros chicos de 6º grado y niñas.
Nuestros siempre popular "Rec Nights" se han previsto en
febrero y marzo para mantener nuestro cuerpo caliente y la energía que fluye. Esté atento a los volantes que volvían a casa y
tratar de hacerlo un día con su hijo para esta noche llena de diversión de la actividad. Nuestros voluntarios siempre crean ac-
tividades divertidas para todo que ver.
Día de San Valentín siempre es un día de diversión en Central
Road! Valentines partidos se llevarán a cabo el viernes, 13 de
febrero de este año a partir de 1: 25-2: 25 completo con snacks,
juegos y manualidades. Póngase en contacto con el coordinador
del aula de su hijo hoy para ser voluntario en la fiesta!
Nuestra próxima reunión del PTA es el 3 de marzo a las 7:00.
Todos son bienvenidos. Un par de grandes papeles que se abren
El próximo año escolar (2015-17) son los Co-Presidentes y
Tesorero. Por favor, hágamelo o Jen Towsey sé si le gustaría a
la sombra de estos roles durante este año escolar. Plus estos papeles siguen abiertas para este año escolar: Feria del Libro de
copresidente, y la demostración del talento de sonido (sombra
para el próximo año). 2 años es el tiempo normal para servir.
Desde el Escritorio del Director de Central Road Jenny Garcia-Macko
¡Espero que hayan tenido unas vacaciones maravillosas! Ha sido divertido escuchar las historias increíbles de sus hijos de los viajes que tomaron
durante las vacaciones y diversión familiar. Quiero
darles las gracias por su tiempo y donaciones el mes
pasado; su generosidad hizo posible celebraciones
especiales para varias familias locales.
El Distrito 15 ha desarrollado una opción adicional llamada
Comienzo Retrasado de considerar en un día de condiciones severas del tiempo. No tendríamos que cancelar la escuela ese día y
el año escolar no tendrá que ser extendido más tarde en el verano.
Un Comienzo Retrasado es un día en el que los estudiantes empezarían la escuela dos horas más tarde del día normal debido a
condiciones severas del tiempo. Es un día normal de trabajo para
el personal y la administración. La decisión de implementar esta
opción se hará antes de las 5 a.m. del día de Comienzo Retrasado.
Los padres/tutores serán notificados a través de correo de voz,
correo electrónico, y los anuncios que serán publicados en el sitio
Web del Distrito 15 y los medios de comunicación del área de
Chicago.
Nos avisaron recientemente que el Distrito 15 administrará el
examen PARCC en papel, no por la computadora, a los estudiantes en los grados 3-8 durante la primavera de 2015. La decisión
fue tomada después de extensas pruebas de la evaluación PARCC
por la computadora. La primera prueba PBA (insignias en inglés)
está programada para marzo 9-20; las fechas para la prueba para
el fin de año, EOY (insignias en inglés) en mayo aún no se han finalizado por el estado. Incluso con estos cambios, nuestro enfoque sigue siendo el proporcionar una excelente instrucción y
las mejores oportunidades de aprendizaje para los estudiantes de
Central Road.
Durante las Conferencias para Maestros este mes, los maestros
de Central Road tuvieron la oportunidad de aprender más sobre el
rigor y el enfoque durante la instrucción de lectura. Colleen
Mullins, consultora educativa, dio la presentación ese día. Pueda
que usted sabré más sobre ella porque estará en nuestra escuela
visitando y enseñando con las maestras en varias clases estos
próximos meses. Será una oportunidad de aprendizaje maravillosa para nuestros alumnos y maestros.
Después de las vacaciones, los estudiantes repasaron PBIS (insignias en inglés), Implementación y Apoyo al Comportamiento
Positivo. Cada presentación repasó brevemente las expectativas
de ser respetuoso, responsable y seguro en todas las áreas de Central Road. Por favor revise estas estrategias en casa y anime a los
estudiantes a utilizarlas. También alabe a sus niños por sus buenas costumbres. Lo adultos que visitan nuestra escuela me detienen frecuentemente para felicitarme por tener alumnos tan
amables y respetuosos. ¡Gracias, padres de familia, por dar el
buen ejemplo en casa!
Por último, les pido que me ayuden a dar la bienvenida a varios miembros nuevos en Central Road. Personal nuevo incluye la
Sra. Sue Marvin, Asistente de Lectura; la Sra. Jackie Laboda,
Asistente de Lectura; la Sra. Nadia Alvarez, Terapeuta Ocupacional; y la Maestra.Cindy Saunders quien es la maestra sustituta
de largo plazo para la Maestra Jamie Rocha. ¡Estamos encantados
de tenerlos en Central Road!
A medida que estamos en los meses fríos de invierno, por
favor asegúrese de enviar a su hijo a la escuela con abrigo de invierno, guantes, gorro, bufanda y botas. Salimos afuera 20 minutos por lo mínimo durante la hora del almuerzo a menos que la
temperatura esté bajo cero. Gracias por su apoyo. Si usted tiene
alguna pregunta o comentario, por favor no dude en comunicarse
conmigo. ¡Les deseo lo mejor para un Año Nuevo feliz y saludable!

Hot Off the PTA Press: Wolves Keeping Warm!
By Shannon Puleo
When it’s cold outside, the Wolves talent takes it to the warmth
of the beach! Central Road’s annual talent show will keep you
warm just thinking about it. The theme this year is Beach Bash
and will be held this weekend, February 6th & 7th (at Conyers
Learning Academy at 7 pm). Can’t wait to see our surfer gals
and guys kick up some sand on the Beach (stage)!
On February 10th & 11th our 6th Grade Wolves will be hitting
the courts for the annual two ball tournament. Good Luck to
our 6th grade boys and girls.
Our ever popular “Rec Nights” are planned in February and
March to keep our bodies warm and energy flowing. Watch for
flyers coming home and try to make it a date with your child
for this fun filled night of activity. Our volunteers always create
fun activities for all to do.
District 15 News
The safety of our students, parents/guardians, and staff in District 15 is our first priority. With that in mind, District 15 and the
Rolling Meadows Police Department worked together to install
video cameras on the stop arms of school buses that serve Central
Road Elementary School, Kimball Hill Elementary School, Willow Bend Elementary School, Plum Grove Junior High School,
and Carl Sandburg Junior High School.
The cameras will record traffic when bus drivers activate the
red stop arms when picking up or dropping off students. If a vehicle passes a school bus with an activated stop arm, the camera
will capture and send a video of the occurrence to the Rolling
Meadows Police Department. The Rolling Meadows Police Department will then review the video and, where appropriate, issue
a citation to the owner of the vehicle. Between the time period of
February 2-February 11, the Rolling Meadows Police Department
will begin by issuing a warning citation without a fine. After this
initial trial period, each citation will include a fine. A first time citation will come with a fine of $150. Each citation beyond the
first will come with a fine of $500.
Consequently, please be aware of the following two traffic
safety laws:
1. When a school bus is traveling on a two-lane roadway and is stopped to pick up or drop off pupils, the vehicles in
all lanes of traffic must stop. Vehicles should stop at least 20 feet
before reaching the school bus to allow pupils to cross the roadway safely.
2. When a school bus is traveling on a four-lane roadway with at least two lanes of traffic traveling in the opposite direction, only those lanes of traffic traveling in the same direction
as the school bus must stop.
These safety laws apply on school grounds as well. Please do
not pass a stopped school bus with an activated stop arm while in
a school parking lot because doing so is both unsafe and unlawful. It may also lead to a citation with an accompanying fine. Additionally, unless directed by law enforcement, please do not pass
Valentines day is always a fun day at Central Road! Valentines
parties will be held on Friday, February 13th this year from
1:25-2:25 complete with snacks, games and crafts. Contact
your child’s classroom coordinator today to volunteer at the
party!
Our next PTA meeting is March 3rd at 7 pm. All are welcome.
We have an immediate opening for a Box Tops/Soup Labels
Coordinator due to an upcoming move out of state of the current coordinator. Book Fair co-chair and Talent Show Sound
are still open for THIS School Year. For NEXT school year
(2015-17), the Co-President and Treasurer roles are open plus
other committees (details in next month's newsletter). 2 years is
the normal time to serve. Pls let me or Jen Towsey know if you
would like to shadow on these roles during THIS school year.
a stopped school bus with an activated stop arm while in a school
parking lot even if you are being directed or encouraged to do so
by a bus driver and/or staff member as this will more than likely
result in a citation as well.
Thank you for your help in keeping our students,
parents/guardians, and staff safe in the parking lots of our schools
and on the roadways in our community. If you have any questions
about this new safety initiative, please contact the Rolling Meadows Police Department.

Future Talent Shows .....Need You
The schools Talent Show is a BIG part of Central Road every year.
This is operated by the PTA, and we are in need for parents to start
to shadow us to take it over in the coming years.
At this time we are in need of a parent(s) to shadow OUR
SOUND/MUSIC AREA for future shows. Please be sure to ask how
you can do this during the show. We will be more than happy to
have you take a look as the show is running.
