We love and appreciate our international population here at Ray school, but unfortunately there is a large turnover year-over-year. The time has come to prepare for the upcoming school year, so we hope you will take a moment to fill out this survey and let us know about your future enrollment plans. We need this information to better prepare for meeting your child's needs in the upcoming year and ensuring the best placement for each of them.
我们喜欢和欣赏Ray School的国际人口,但不幸的是,它的年营业额很大。 现在是为即将到来的学年做准备的时候了,所以我们希望您花一点时间填写这份调查问卷,让我们知道您未来的入学计划。 我们需要这些信息来更好地准备在未来一年满足您孩子的需求,并确保每个人的最佳安置位置。 https://goo.gl/forms/AESRl1xuhM09Cs982 If you prefer to respond via paper, a paper copy was sent home with your child. 如果你更愿意通过纸张回复,一份纸质文件将与你的孩子一起回家。 ESL/Bilingual Endorsement Cohort
To better serve Chicago’s diverse student population, Roosevelt University is partnering with the Chicago Teachers Union Foundation – Quest Center to recruit teachers to join a Summer 2018 cohort working toward Bilingual and ESL endorsements. This cohort will complete the course requirements for ESL and Bilingual endorsements in only two semesters. The five course program will be delivered in the following manner: Summer 2018 | July 9 – July 27 | READ 468, 474 & 475 (face-to-face) Fall 2018 | Sept. – Dec. | READ 458 & 473 (online)
TO APPLY AND ENROLL, CONTACT: Ms. Laura Lag |312-853-4753 | [email protected] It is the time of the year when teachers begin to plan and prepare rosters for the coming year. For the past 2 year, my year-over-year turnover is pretty high, and this makes planning for the upcoming year difficult. If you know when you plan to leave Ray for another school or if you are returning to your home country, please let us know!

From Wikipedia: While fasting from dawn until sunset, Muslims refrain from consuming food, drinking liquids, smoking, and engaging in sexual relations. Muslims are also instructed to refrain from sinful behavior that may negate the reward of fasting, such as false speech (insulting, backbiting, cursing, lying, etc.) and fighting except in self-defense.[15][16] Food and drinks are served daily, before dawn and after sunset, referred to as Suhoor and Iftar respectively.[17][18] Spiritual rewards (thawab) for fasting are also believed to be multiplied within the month of Ramadan.[19] Fasting for Muslims during Ramadan typically includes the increased offering of salat (prayers), recitation of the Quran[20][21] and an increase of doing good deeds and charity.
