Dear Colleagues:

VISION. VALUE. CHANGE.

Many of you were with us in Chicago for our Annual School Leaders meeting. As you
heard at that gathering, and consistent with our focus and communications over the
past year, we have been working hard to more clearly articulate membership value,
programs, and criteria. This effort is vital to building our organizational and 
fundraising capacity.

National Student Clearinghouse: College Enrollment and Graduation Data for our Graduates

Christ Broughton, the Director of Postsecondary Initiatives for the Cristo Rey Network
will present a Webinar on Wednesday, November 16th at 2:00 pm EST about the importance
and impact of Cristo Rey's use of National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) data. Whether
your school has already submitted this data, or is still working to meet the November
deadline, register for the NSC Webinar to find out how this crucial data collection
has driven the success of the Cristo Rey Network.  Click here [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=e7a7pccab&et=1108335754533&s=5641&e=001XFZdX7tMcybWInVLPQdOtDNeZ07Yne3w9p-1IY9OkaXAEpKVCGQE5KyIZEHs-rFi56fDQLK9R9GriN9m_fPrgLmKi3QhHnuqQq2n56HaSyWY-st6K_7QPnW4TaW02LJFYihOt7MqhfZfZJKJMo_KBw==]
to register for the Webinar.

As a result of the Webinar, the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) November 15th
deadline has been extended one week to Tuesday, November 22nd!

About the Network's NSC Data Initiative: This summer the Network began collecting
data from schools for college enrollment and graduation verification using NSC StudentTracker
service. The NSC data will provide us with a detailed snapshot of our graduates 
currently enrolled as well as historical data for the enrollment and graduation 
of all of our graduates going back to the 8th grade class of 1996. If your school
has not yet submitted its NSC data file, please contact David Kubacki [email-masked]
[mailto:[email-masked]?]immediately to make sure you don't miss out
 on this important data initiative.

November 14th at 2:00pm EST: NWEA MAP Assessment Webinar

Interested in learning more about the NWEA MAP assessment?  This computer based,
 adaptable assessment has been adopted by 22 of our Network schools.  Schools are
able to receive the results instantly and are able to download detailed reports 
within 48 hours of submitting the tests to NWEA.  Individualized reports and the
 instructional supplemental tools simplify the process of using data to ensure students
are learning.  To learn more about this assessment, an introductory webinar has 
been set for Network schools for Nov. 14th at 2 p.m. (EST).  If interested in participating
please contact Melodie Wyttenbach at [email-masked] [mailto:[email-masked]?]

and the generational analysis both in the mail and electronically.  Also coming
