WELCOME TO THE INVOLVE PARENT NEWSLETTER

The INVOLVE newsletter for parents is published monthly during the school year.  We want to encourage you to read the INVOLVE each month to stay current.  It is crucial for all parents to stay active and informed in the lives of the children throughout the course of their high school years.  By reading the INVOLVE, you are demonstrating to your child the importance of school and your continued interest in their education.  The INVOLVE is published electronically, and you will be notified by email each month.  If you prefer, the printed version of the INVOLVE is available in the Main Office.

KEEP SICK STUDENTS HOME

In fairness to other students, staff and families, please keep your child home if they are ill.  There has been an increase in illness and with your help and cooperation we can prevent /limit exposure.  Please remind your students the cough/sneeze etiquette and the importance of hand washing. 

If your student has a fever, remember they should be fever free for 24 hours without the use of over-the-counter medication before returning to school. 

PARENT AND STUDENT HANDBOOK HIGHLIGHTS

Please refer to the Parent & Student Handbook as a source of information throughout the school year.  There is a handy search feature to help you find the specific information you need in a timely manner.  The HUHS Parent & Student handbook can be found on our website:

http://www.huhs.org/documents/STUDENT_HANDBOOK.pdf

NEW STUDENT SCHEDULE

We have a new class schedule this year.  The new schedule is intended to provide more contact time between teachers and students.  With the elimination of our rotating class schedule, there are now an additional 22 class days during the course of the school year.  Our primary goal in implementing the new student schedule is to improve the overall academic performance by increasing the number of class meetings, encouraging all students to take seven classes, and to reduce excessive study time in school.

Since students have less study hall time this year, their schedules are less flexible making changes in schedules problematic.  Also, resource center time is more limited because study halls have been shortened.  However, the Library Media Center is open to students daily until 5:00 p.m. daily.

CELL PHONES

In order to prevent undue disruptions in school, students are not allowed to use their cell phones during school hours, 7:25 a.m. to 2:37 p.m.  We ask for the cooperation of al parents by asking you to contact the school office rather than by cell phone.  During school hours, cell phones must be powered off and not simply kept on vibrate or silent mode.  Visible cell phones during school hours are subject to confiscation.

MP3 PLAYERS

Students are able to use their MP3 players in school this year.  However, the use of such devices is limited to non-instructional time.  The use of MP3 players is common today and many people are more focused and productive when listening to music while they are working.  The use of MP3 players in school is a privilege that can be revoked if misused or abused by students.

STUDENT CLASSROOM CONDUCT

Hartford Union High School believes that students learn best in a school environment that is safe, orderly, and free from disruptions.  When some students choose to disregard the rights of others to learn by disrupting this environment, we believe it is the responsibility of the school to provide appropriate consequences designed to eliminate this disruptive behavior.  Students need to recognize the responsibility they have for their actions, and parental involvement is critical to permanent changes in student behavior.

The Hartford Union High School Board of Education, administrators, teachers, and staff reserve the right to remove any student from a classroom where behavior or actions are a disruption to the learning environment or process and/or endanger the health and safety of other students.  In cases of violations of local ordinances, State Statutes or Federal Laws, the high school has the responsibility to include the local law enforcement agencies. 

In all Hartford Union High School classrooms, teachers have full authority to implement classroom rules and procedures to maintain an orderly, learning environment.  A teacher can and will assign appropriate disciplines for inappropriate behaviors or violations of their classroom rules.  However, if a student engages in consistent disruptive behavior or conducts himself/herself in a manner that there is a serious classroom disruption (in the teacher’s opinion) of the learning environment, the teacher can remove the individual student from the classroom.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES

The compulsory attendance law states all students must attend the designated school day which is defined as all classes, including lunch and study hall.  Regular attendance is not only required by law but is essential for students to maximize their opportunities to learn.  HUHS student absences are recorded by each period so accumulated absences could be different for each hour of the day. 

EXCUSED ABSENCES

Parents/Guardians must call HUHS to report their student’s absence as soon as possible by calling the Attendance Office directly at 262-673-8945 or emailing attendance@huhs.org .  Excused absences usually fall into one of three categories:  Anticipated Absences, Regular Absences, and Medically Verified Absences.

It is a requirement and the student’s responsibility to make up all schoolwork, including quizzes and tests, missed as a result of an excused absence. 

UNEXCUSED ABSENCES

All unexcused absences are truancies.  Hartford Union High School has adopted a truancy policy in conjunction with the Mid-Moraine Municipal Court and the Hartford Police Department which involves progressive consequences.  These consequences include the loss of school privileges, loss of work permits, scheduled parent conferences, and truancy citations issued by the Hartford Police Department, in addition to detention and/or in-school suspension time.  No credit will be earned for any assignments missed that day or quizzes, although students are allowed to make up major tests for credit on the first day the student returns to school.

A student who is truant (unexcused) for part or all of five (5) or more days per semester on which school is held is identified as an habitual truant and will be referred for legal action.

Students are not allowed to leave the building under any circumstances without checking out at the Attendance Office window and being issued a Permit to Leave prior to leaving the building.

HUHS BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS

EXPECTED BEHAVIORS

Students have the responsibility to:

• Conduct themselves in a manner that is conducive to maintaining a safe and orderly environment at school
• Be accountable and responsible for their actions as students at HUHS
• Follow the rules and policies set by the Board of Education in order maintain an environment that focuses on learning
• Respect themselves, others, and the property of others
• Act courteously to adults and fellow students
• Demonstrate honesty and integrity
• Act at all times in a manner that reflects pride in self, family, and school

CARE OF PROPERTY

Students are responsible for the care of their own personal property.  Valuables such as cash, jewelry, or irreplaceable items should not be brought to school and if they are, the items should be kept in the student’s locked hall or phy ed locker.  HUHS is not responsible for personal property.

If a student damages or loses school property, the student or his/her parents/guardians will be required to pay for the replacement or damage.  If intentional, the student will also be subject to discipline according to the Student Discipline Code.

DRESS CODE EXPECTATIONS

The school district solicits the cooperation of all parents in supporting the policy on student clothing and dress.  It is responsibility of the school to prohibit students from attending school when their personal appearance or attire interferes with the instructional purpose of the school or attracts undue attention detrimental to the normal operation of our school.

Students will be asked to remove, change, or cover any items not deemed appropriate.  When necessary, students will be sent home to change.

DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION

The administration and staff recognize that the misuse of drugs is a societal problem with legal, physical, and social implications for the entire school community.  As the educational institution of this community, HUHS strives to prevent drug abuse and help drug abusers by educational, rather than punitive, means.

The use, possession, concealment, sale, or distribution of any drug, drug look-alike, and any drug–paraphernalia at any time on school property or at any school-related event is prohibited.  Disciplinary sanctions, up to and including expulsion and referral for prosecution, will be imposed on students who violate the school’s drug abuse guidelines.

WHOM DO I SEE ABOUT

Please note that Dr. Kremer writes a monthly article for the newspaper and it is posted on the WEB at www.huhs.org under Kremer’s Korner, rather than including in the INVOLVE newsletter.

STUDENTS ARRIVING LATE TO SCHOOL OR RETURNING TO SCHOOL

In an effort to be as accurate as possible, we ask that students who are reporting to school following an absence, whether it be returning from an appointment or coming in for the first time that day, be sure to sign-in at the front desk and report directly to the Attendance Office. This allows us to document that the student is now in the building, issue them a pass to class, and update their attendance accordingly.

SENIORS

Counselors met with the seniors on September 17 and 18 during the study hall hours and with parents and seniors during the HUHS Open House on September 16.  Information such as applications to college, ACT, Financial Aid/Scholarships, etc. were discussed.  Students who were not able to attend the meetings are welcome to come in to the Counseling Office to pick up materials.  An orange booklet was handed out with very important information which should be especially helpful.  Parents may also check the HUHS website/Counseling to see the information that was covered. 

Students are encouraged to submit post-secondary applications no later than December 1.  The Counseling Office provides three transcripts to submit when applying for colleges.  A $5 fee will be charged for each additional transcript.    Students are responsible for mailing in their college applications.  Seniors who have questions or need assistance with college admissions should contact their counselor or use the toll free helpline (800-442-6459) or UW websites:  uwhelp.wisconsin.edu or apply.wisconsin.edu.

Students are also reminded that this is the time of the year there are several college reps in the building to meet with students.  Check the daily announcements for further information.  Students must sign up ahead of time in the Counseling Office.

TECH COLLEGE NEWS

Moraine Park Technical College has announced that the window to apply for the Radiography Program is only open from September 15 to October 15.  No applications will be accepted after the window closes.  Nursing is not accepting any applications at this time.

JUNIORS

The PSAT test information will be distributed in US History classes very soon.  This “practice” test for college admission will take place Wednesday, October 14.  Students must sign up in the Counseling Office by October 7.  Any students considering college should take this test.  Cost is $20 with checks made payable to HUHS.

FRESHMEN

Freshmen conferences began September 7.  The meetings are designed for counselors to get to know their students, review progress in their courses, Wiscareers, and begin discussions on careers and a four year plan.  Freshmen parents received a letter and an email about this program and are welcomed to be a part of this meeting.  This can be accomplished by contacting the Counseling Office at 262-670-3215.  Any students who don’t have an appointment set with their counselor by October 2 will be assigned a time and date.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY TUTORS AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS

National Honor Society will be providing tutors during study hall time.  Students can sign up in the Counseling Office to work with a tutor.

ACT SCORE REPORTING

Parents should be aware that the ACT results will no longer automatically be included on student transcripts.  This decision was made after parents/students requested that scores be withheld.  Hartford High School officials also contact area districts to see what they were doing regarding ACT scores.  Most no longer automatically include the scores.  This new policy allows students/families the choice to include ACT scores or not.

Please note that if a student/family requests that ACT scores be included on the transcript, and the student took the test more than once, all scores are included.  HUHS does not have the ability to just list the preferred score.  The colleges will take the highest composite score regardless of how many times the test is taken.

If you have further questions, you can contact the HUHS Counseling Office.

STUDENT COUNCIL NEWS

The Student Council and the Counseling Department hosted a “New Student Lunch” on September 9 for students new to the district. 

CHANGES IN SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICE DELIVERY

School districts across the country continue to work diligently on closing the achievement gap between general education students and special education students.  Hartford Union High School is no exception.  During the 2008-2009 school year, a service delivery team gathered research and data on best practices in this area.  This committee encountered countless research proving the best way to improve the results of special education students was to include them in the general education classroom with supports and differentiated instruction.  Historically, special education students were frequently removed from the general education classroom to take a special education class that provided more remedial instruction. 

Based on the special education team’s recommendation, a more inclusive model for special education students has been implemented for the 2009-2010 school year.  By utilizing current special education staff, every core department (English, Math, Science, and Social Studies) has two special education teachers collaborating daily with them to provide support in and out of the classroom.  The traditional elective areas also work closely with an additional two special education teachers.  As such, many students may have two teachers in the classroom on any given day based on the day’s activities and need for support.  This best serves all students, not just those with identified special education needs.  A continuum of services is available to meet the needs of students with disabilities.  Individual programming decisions are made through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team composed of parents, student, special education teacher(s), general education teacher(s), administrative representative, and other pupil services personnel when appropriate.   

If you have any additional questions surrounding the changes in special education service delivery, please contact Teresa Redmond, Supervisor of Pupil Services and Special Education at teresa.redmond@huhs.org or (262) 670-3200 ext. 223.

HUHS STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Sometimes personal and family problems get too big for students to handle on their own.  That is when it becomes necessary to get involved with understanding adults and other students who are experiencing similar challenges.  Together, students can share what they are going through and look for solutions and ways to cope.  Student Assistance Program Support Groups meet during one class period once a week and run for approximately 6-8 weeks.  Groups are confidential.  No one will know students are in a group outside of the group.  Likewise, what is shared in a group will be kept confidential.

The goal of the program is to overcome conditions that interfere with students’ ability to achieve to their fullest potential.  The HUHS team of school counselors, teachers, and social workers meet with students one-on-one and in small groups with other students to provide preventive education, intervention, counseling, support services, and referrals to other agencies for help.

Here is a list of past support groups*:

Anger/Stress Management – This group provides a chance to share concerns regarding stressors in their lives and how to effectively deal with them.  A variety of stress management techniques are discussed and practiced such as breathing, relaxation, and healthy life style choices.

New Student Group – This group helps orientate new students to our school while providing them an opportunity to socialize.

School Age Parent Support Group – This group provides an opportunity for pregnancy education and support.

Multi-Cultural Group – This group, which focuses on building cultural identity and pride, is composed of minority students representing various ethnicities/cultures.

Concerned Persons – This group is for students concerned about a family member who abuses alcohol or other drugs.

Sexual Abuse Support Group – This group is for students who are survivors of sexual assault or abuse.

Gay/Straight alliance – This group is for students who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and their straight allies.

Smoking Cessation – A group to help students quit cigarette smoking for good.

Loss Group – This group is for students who have lost someone or something they love either through death, divorce, or separation. 

(*Groups are organized based on the amount of interest/need shown by current students at the high school.)

SEAT BELT LAW

Effective June 30, 2009, Wisconsin has what is known as a primary enforcement seat belt law.  A standard, or primary enforcement seat belt law allows police to stop and ticket a driver for not wearing a seat belt, just like any other routine traffic violation.

Any automobile sold in the state of Wisconsin must be equipped with safety belts.  All drivers of motor vehicles and all passengers over the age of four must wear safety belts.

These laws apply to Wisconsin residents and non-residents alike in all front seat positions and in rear seat positions with three-point belts.  Children under four are required to be restrained in an appropriate child safety restraint.

Where a primary enforcement law exists, set belt usage is higher.  States such as California and North Carolina have realized a significant increase in safety belt usage (to 80%in North Carolina) through the combination of a primary law and an aggressive awareness and enforcement effort.

Wisconsin law provides for a fine of $10 and no points are assigned against a persons driver record.  Those subject to the penalty include drivers, drivers with unrestrained passengers 4 to 16 years old and passengers at least 16 years old.

The penalty for violating the child passenger law involving a child under the age of 4 is not less than $30 or more than $75.  The penalty for violating the child passenger law involving a child between the ages of 4-8 is not less than $10 or more than $25.

HARTFORD POLICE DEPARTMENT CITIZEN’S ACADEMY

The Hartford Police Department is looking for individuals that live or work in Hartford to sign up for this year’s Hartford Police Department’s Citizen’s Academy.  The course begins on September 24 and lasts for 8 weeks.  The classes are all on Thursday nights and begin September 24 and last for eight weeks.  Individuals must be 18 years old or older to participate.  Students will get both classroom and hands on exercises in police work.  In the past, the Academy participants have done crime scene investigation, firearms, emergency vehicle operation, and traffic stops.  It is a lot of fun and gives you a look at the inner workings of the police department in your community.  If anyone is interested in applying they can contact Hartford Police Officer Nate Dorn at 262-673-2600 or by email at ndorn@ci.hartford.wi.us .

LIBRARY

All freshmen have had 4 days of library orientations focused on helping them find resources both in the library and online.  Access to these resources is readily available from home.  Ask your child to show you how they access the library catalog, place books on hold (for morning pick up), and look for current events through our online resources. 

The library opens each day at 7:00 a.m. and is available to students and the community from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.  Many students come to the library to complete homework and access computer resources not available at home.  Single day late bus passes are sold in the library. 

This is the first year we will have overdue fines in the Library.  Students can self-renew items (online) one time.  Parents and students will receive regular email reminders when books are coming due, and when they are overdue.  Please remind your child to check their library account regularly.

Students may make photocopies in the library of library materials for research purposes free of charge.  Students will be able to make copies for non-research purposes (notes, flyers, etc.) at the rate of .05 (cents) per copy. This will cover the cost of toner and paper used.

WORLD LANGUAGE

Global Connections/Summer Trip to France

Six students and three adults representing Hartford Union High School went to France this past summer for a two-week educational tour.  The trip started in Chicago where the group joined another school from the greater Chicago area.  These schools joined a third school from St. Louis in Annecy, France.  Annecy, a quaint town in the French Alps, was the starting point of the tour.  The students started using their language and culture skills right away when they explored the town and got their bearings.  The following day brought a trip via cable car to the peak of the Aiguille-du-Midi—around 12,000 feet.  This mountain is the viewing point for the neighboring Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps.  The students also got to experience an open air market and traditional goods sold there.  The group then headed south to the Mediterranean Sea and the beautiful city of Nice.  They got to experience the water along with the nationwide music festival held every year.  Then it was off to Aix-en-Provence to experience a traditional French craft- santon making (figurines)- and took lessons in a traditional French activity—fencing!  After that, they continued on to the Roman ruins—they climbed on the Pont du Gard (an old aqueduct), and entered an old Roman amphitheater/arena and forum building in Nimes.  They got to view the life in the double walled city of Carcassonne, and then moved on to see how the upper class lived when they explored two castles in the Loire Valley—Chenonceau and Chambord.  They also learned how chocolate was made, and saw a cave home (troglodyte home).  The group also experienced the horrors and triumphs of WWII.  They visited Oradour-sur-Glane, a village whose inhabitants were murdered and the village burned to the ground, the D-Day beaches, the Caen Peace Museum and a German bunker along the coast.  They also got to see the Point-du-Hoc, where so many men lost their lives, and the American Cemetery where over 10,000 soldiers are buried.  After that it was on to Monet’s gardens in Giverny and the final days in Paris.    While in Paris the students were able to ascend the Eiffel Tower, tour the Sacre Coeur, the Louvre and les Invalides (Napolean’s final resting place) as well as visit the Catacombes,  Notre Dame cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe and several other “must-see” places.  Overall, the students learned a great deal about the culture, language, and how to manage in unfamiliar situations.  They also learned about team-work, adaptability, and independence.   A very valuable experience for all.  We’re working toward another successful trip in two years!

TUITION WAIVER INFORMATION

Students who currently attend HUHS and are planning to move out of the HUHS District can continue to attend HUHS by filling out a Tuition Waiver Application.  These forms are available through Ms. JoBeth Kreuser-Hercules in the Student Records Department or can be obtained on the DPI website.  The form should be completed and turned in within two weeks after the move.  For further assistance or information, please contact Ms. JoBeth Kreuser-Hercules at HUHS.

2010 GRADUATION CLASS INFORMATION

TEEN CONNECTION/FINANCIAL LITERACY AND TEENS

In the midst of a global financial crisis, the importance of personal financial literacy is higher than ever.  But, recent survey results show that parents are uncomfortable talking about money issues with their children.  On the next television broadcast of Teen Connection, a panel of young people will discuss ways for teens and parents to improve their understanding of how money works, and why it is important to understand finances on a personal level.

Teen Connection “Money Smart Teens” airs on public television stations at 7 p.m., Tuesday, September 22, on Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) and on WMVS-TV in Milwaukee.

In anticipation of the statewide Money Smart Week, October 10-17, this edition of Teen Connection will explore new ways kids are being educated about handling finances and where they can turn for more information . 

Fond du Lac High School teacher, Sandra Linde and two of her students will appear on the show to discuss what they learn about financial management in their classroom and the financial issues teens face.  Also appearing will be Ellen Bernards from GreenPath Debt Solutions, a nonprofit consumer credit counseling service in Madison who will discuss the challenges facing people who have become overburdened with debt and what lessons can be learned by others to prevent it from happening to them. 

The live program features a call-in option at 877-988-2888.  For more information, contact Joel Waldinger, executive producer at 608-890-2840.
