Edward C. Reed High School Community Newsletter ~ November / December 2013
Dear Parents and Guardians: As we begin the second quarter of the school year, I am pleased to say that it has been a good first quarter. Our enrollment on Count Day was 2030. Our most recent WCSD and State of Nevada Report Cards gave us three (3) STARS. I am thrilled to state that Reed HS received 18 out of 18 points for Graduation rate which was 82%. We also received 4.4 points out of 5 for our Family Engagement Plan. Unfortunately, we lost points on the College Readiness and “on Pathway to College Readiness” Indicators. We received 2 out of 5 points since only 49% of our graduating seniors completed 1 or more AP/IB/Dual Credit Courses by Graduation. We received 2 out of 5 points since only 24% of the 49% of the graduating seniors passed at least one AP/IB Exam by Graduation. We earned only 6 out of 10 points since only 40% of graduates earned an Advanced or Honors diploma. Our counselors will encourage students in the future to seek Advanced and Honors diplomas. Please see criteria listed:
An ADVANCED DIPLOMA requires a cumula-tive GPA of 3.25 (weighted or unweighted) 24 credits, 4 math credits, and 3 science credits. An HONORS DIPLOMA requires a cumulative GPA of 3.40 (weighted or unweighted), 24 credits, 4 Math credits, 3 Science credits, 8 Honors/AP Credits, 2 credits of the same language, no course failures during the junior or senior year.
Passing the High School Proficiency Exams (HSPE) is of the utmost importance in all the areas of math, reading, writing, and science to qualify for a standard diploma. During the upcoming testing periods, Reed HS will send out postcards listing the times of each test and our Connect Ed phone system will call your home to remind your student and you of the importance of participating in the High School Proficiency Exams. The test schedule is:
November 4, Monday, MATH 11th & 12th grade students who have not yet passed the test.
November 5, Tuesday, READING for 11th &12th grade students who have not yet passed the test.
November 6, WRITING for ALL 11th grade students and 12th grade students who have not yet passed. There will be a three-hour delay on this day only for 9th grade, 10th grade, and any 11th and 12th grade students who already passed the test.
November 7, Thursday, SCIENCE for 11th & 12th grade students who have not yet passed the test.
Reed High School still has a number of students who need to pass some or all parts of the proficiency tests to graduate with a standard diploma. Please see below the schedule for the 2013-14 school year for HSPE review: These dates are planned around the Interses-sions scheduled by the school district:
October 14-18, 9:00am-1:00pm A+ and Plato HSPE Review for 11th and 12th grade students.

HSPE Review for 10th, 11th and 12th grade students (for March 3,4,5,6 HSPE Test) on Satur-days - 2/8, 2/15, 2/22, and 3/1 from 9:00 am-noon.
Spring Intersession, March 31-April 11, 9:00 am-1:00 pm HSPE A+ and Plato Review for 12th grade students.
I am also pleased to report that we have approximately 903 students enrolled in seventeen different Advanced Placement courses. Enrolling in Advanced Placement courses not only offers the students college level courses on the high school level, but if the student receives a 3 or above on the AP test administered in May, the student may be granted college credit or be exempt from taking lower level prereq-uisites. With the rising cost of college, this is a real advantage. Reed’s Advanced Placement teachers this year are: Kathleen Stynen /Biology and Psychology, Janet Sawyer /Chemistry, Kellie Kareck / Calculus/Statist ics, Genevieve Morehouse /Environmental Science, Richard Hoadley / English Language and Composition, Sara Jones / English Literature and Composition, Ilana Rugg / French and Culture, Cathy Morgan / US History, Mark Towell and Kenton McHenry / US Government, Ryan Smith / Spanish Language, Balbine Mengu / Spanish Literature and Culture, Ron Coombs / Micro and Macro Economics and Human Geography, and Malary Engstrom / Music Theory. We plan to add World History and Computer Science next year. One new aspect of the 2013-2014
school year is the creation of a Family Engagement Plan. One of our goals is to “build knowledge of three areas: Academic Success/Transition, Social Emotional Wellness and College and Career Readiness over the course of the school year through monthly meetings.” Families will have three options to each night that they can attend:
Parent University or similar class - classes will cover topics of Academic Success, Social/Emotional Wellness, and College and Career Readiness.
Counselor Meeting - topic to be determined by counseling department or for general Q&A for parents.
Site Council Meetings - open to all parents and community members who would like to attend to play an active part in the decisions of Reed High School.
Family Engagement Nights are scheduled for October 9, November 13, January 22, February 12, March 19, and April 23. Our programs include Parent University presenta-tions, Reed HS Counselors’ presenta-tion and Site Council Meeting. The Parent University will be presenting the following topics at Reed High School in room 114/116 with Child Care in room 112. The classes run from 6:00-7:30 p.m.
Feb. 12 Common Core: An Introduction

Reminders: -School lunch will not be served during finals except on 12/16. -No exams (except performance exams) may be given early. -Finals are required for all students in all classes. -Exams must last approximately 1 hr. and 45 min. -2013-2014: Grade weight shall be 15% of the semester grade. How To Do Better On Tests Tests are a part of life... Tests don't just happen in school. Want to get a driver's license? You have to take a test. Want to go to college or get into the armed forces? You'll have to pass a test. Many jobs, from fire fighter to lawyer, require you to pass a test before you can be hired. Things to do before test day:
Don't Cram. Review in several short study sessions. You'll feel less pressure...and you'll remember more.
Study with a buddy. Try reviewing for the test with one or more friends.
Make flash cards. Flash cards are a great way to review everything from vocabulary words to match facts. Carry them with you for quick reviews.
Create a practice test. As you're studying, try to think of the questions you would ask.
Make a "Study sheet." In many subjects, there are a few key facts you need to remember for a test.
Dress for success. You don't need to wear your fanciest clothes. But what you wear can affect your performance on a test.
Eat breakfast. Even if you usually skip breakfast, have something to eat on test day.
Take the supplies you need. Don't wait until the morning of the test to get ready… that's a sure way to make you stressed.
When you're in the testing room: 1) Skim the test quickly. You don't want to turn to the last
page of the test with five minutes left in class only to discover you have two essay questions to write. Knowing what's ahead with will help you budget your time.
2) Read the directions carefully. You may want to underline important directions so you don't overlook them. If you're not clear about something in the directions, ask.
3) Don't be afraid to skip a question. If you come across a question you don't know, don't panic… it's just one ques-tion. Skip it and move on. Come back if you have time.
4) Look for "clue words." On a multiple choice or a true-false test, some words usually indicate an answer is wrong.
5) If you're using a separate answer sheet, make sure you're filling in answers to the right questions.
6) Check your work. Often, it's a careless mistake that leads to a wrong answer.

Reed Mentoring Reed High School is in the beginning stages of implementing a mentoring program. Several of our staff members have volunteered for this extra responsibility and are mentoring students who need some extra support to achieve the success they desire. If you would like your student to be assigned a mentor, please contact me and I will work to make that happen. Freshman Credit We are very proud of the gains made by our fresh-men last year. In the 12-13 school year our freshmen earned 94% of the credits available compared to 86% in the 11-12 school year. Credit attainment during a student’s freshman year is a key indicator of success. Our plan is to continue to provide incentives, recogni-tion and support as our freshmen work to transition to the high school curriculum. As part of that, those who earned a 3.5 GPA at the first 9 week grade check received 8 off campus passes to be used at lunch. Each pass entitles them to one lunch off campus.
All freshman who earn at least a 3.0 GPA at the semester will be issued new off campus IDs and be allowed to leave campus at lunch any day they choose. Off campus privileges for students in grades 10-12 are based on their credits earned. They need to have earned enough credits to be on track to graduate. Participation in School Activities
Attendance at school activities such as dances, prom,
athletics and other school sponsored extra-curricular
activities is a privilege and a great part of the high
school experience. Students who engage in serious
misconduct at school such as substance abuse or
fighting will lose this privilege. Please encourage
your student to participate appropriately in all school
activities so they can fully enjoy their high school
experience and allow others to do the same.

ATHLETICS As the air turns cooler and the days get shorter, Fall sports is in full swing at Reed. We have survived the smoke with only a couple of games cancelled (and many more practices) and are pushing forward towards the playoff season. First off, a big thank you to all of our Fall coaches for their flexibility and teamwork in getting practices scheduled. With so many teams needing indoor facilities, our Volleyball team continually stepped up by rearranging their practice plans to help accommodate all of our teams. On some days, our large gym was in constant use from 2:35 in the afternoon until 10:00 at night. Below is the schedule for regionals and where applicable the team standings as of this printing. Please take a look to find your team and where they will be playing this coming regional season. Parents, please remember that all playoff contests are NIAA events and we are unable to honor season passes issued at Reed. Also, as a change this year the price for attend-ance at these events has gone up. Adult tickets will now be $10, students will be $5 and Senior citizens (65 and over) will be $3.

Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC)
The Reed Battalion is off to a great start! We began the year with Freshman Marching Camp at Reed High School. During this event 80 freshman cadets spent two days getting to know some of their future cadet leaders and learning what ROTC is all about. After twenty years of teaching we were very sorry to say good-bye to Lieutenant Commander Janca. We are most excited to welcome Master Chief Walker as our next instructor. He comes to Reed from Florida. On September 1st, eleven of our cadets had the opportunity to attend and volunteer at a fundraiser event for Honor Flight. Honor Flight is an organi-zation that works to fly veterans
to Washington D.C. to visit memorials dedicated to World War II, Iwo Jima, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, and other wars. On September 4th our annual Welcome Aboard Party was held. There were plenty of food, drinks, and of course music and dancing. The highlight was the senior auction, which earned lots of laughs and also acted as a small fundraiser. Cadets bid on their favorite senior and the highest bidder purchases him or her for a dance and a day. The proceeds made go to the ROTC program. Cadets were also responsible for bringing cans of food for the upcoming canned food drive. On our first field trip 84 cadets had the opportunity to spend a day at the Air Races at Stead Field. Cadets were not only able to see the aircrafts but also had a chance to talk to the pilots. ROTC’s Color Guard is already hard at work performing at multi-ple school assemblies, and also at non-school events, such as the Tail Hook convention. Both
the Color Guard and the Honor Guard also performed at the Reed Homecoming football game on September 20th. The Color Guard, Armed, and Unarmed Drill teams are diligently practicing for the upcoming Drill Meet at Spanish Springs on October 5th. Cadets practice not only after school, but also in the early hours before school - all to accomplish their goal of perfection. In class students are hard at work marching, training to be physically fit, and studying important leadership traits. They are also learning general knowledge about the military and its different branches. Cadets are also preparing for upcoming events such as the Nevada Day Parade on October 26th, the Reed Drill Meet on November the 2nd, and Poppy Sales on November 9th. The Reed ROTC cadets are looking forward to another busy year.

SOS Program
The teen years are marked by a rollercoaster ride of emotions- difficult for teens, their parents, and
educators. It is easy to misread depression as normal adolescent turmoil; however, depression (among
the most common of mental illnesses) appears to be occurring at a much earlier age, and the past
decade has seen teen suicide rates double.
In order to proactively address this issue, Reed High School will be partnering with the Children’s
Cabinet and the Nevada Office of Suicide Prevention to offer the SOS Signs of Suicide® Prevention
Program later this academic year. The program will involve an educational component where students
will be empowered to recognize the warning signs of depression or suicidality within themselves or a
friend and to seek help if needed. Following the educational component, students who have received
active consent from parents will complete a brief screening for signs of depression or suicidality, and
those youth whose answers indicate they may need help will meet with a qualified mental health
professional and additional follow up services will be recommended.
What is the SOS Program?
The SOS Signs of Suicide® Prevention Program has been used by thousands of schools over the past nine
years across the nation. It has proven successful at teaching students who are concerned about
themselves or a friend, and is the only school-based suicide prevention selected by SAMSHA for its
National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices that addresses suicide risk and depression,
while reducing suicide attempts.
Our goals in participating in this program are straightforward:
To help students understand depression is a treatable illness, and help them assess whether or
not they may have symptoms consistent with depression.
To explain that suicide is a preventable tragedy that often occurs as a result of untreated
depression.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT AND PROCEDURES
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING AND DATING THIS APPLICATION
Screening: For the safety of students, all prospective volunteers will be asked to complete an Adult School Volunteer
Application and provide a photo I.D. (international ID’s are accepted). All prospective volunteers will be given a “Background Check” check pursuant to NRS 179D. Additionally, the District, in its discretion and without a statement of reason, may require a complete criminal history check on any volunteer at any time. In programs where a volunteer is an Overnight Chaperone and may work alone for extended periods of time with a student or by request from the principal, fingerprinting and a full state and federal background check are required. If fingerprinting is required, the school district will cover these costs. All fingerprinting must be authorized.
Confidentiality: What you hear and observe about students, families, and staff while volunteering in a school is confidential. Repeating a seemingly harmless comment can lead to misunderstandings and hurt feelings. For schools
to provide the best environment for learning, everyone's privacy must be respected.
Liability: The Washoe County School District is proud to provide liability coverage and an accident policy for its
volunteers, which will provide up to $1,500 after any other valid and collectable insurance. In order to have this protection, all volunteers must sign in on the school's volunteer / visitor sign in sheet (in every school office)
every time they volunteer. Volunteers are not covered by Workers' Compensation.
Child neglect and abuse reporting: School volunteers are obligated under mandatory child reporting laws to report any
suspected child neglect or abuse. Please refer to Washoe County School District mandatory reporting guidelines.
Supervision: Volunteers perform under the direction and supervision of school personnel. Volunteers should know and
follow school policies and rules. The District, in its discretion and without a statement of reasons, may suspend any volunteer from further volunteer activities pending any background check. No statement by the District establishes a property right to perform volunteer work.
Communication: If you are unable to make it to school when you are expected, please call the school and leave a
message. Similarly, school staff will contact you if your time is cancelled or changed for any unforeseen reason. You may contact the WCSD Volunteer Services Office at 775-851-5655, or email [email protected] with questions or for assistance.
Student / Volunteer relationships: Volunteers function in a position of trust and Washoe County School District does not
extend that volunteer / student trust relationship outside of the supervised school environment. It is the responsibility of the volunteer to notify the site administrator immediately if he/she becomes involved with a student / family outside the WCSD environment.
I affirm that I have read and understand all the information on this Adult School Volunteer Application and that all the information I have provided in this application is true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that WCSD reserves the right to verify all information on this application form and that any false statements or failures to disclose information may be sufficient to disqualify me as a volunteer. I hereby authorize Washoe County School District to obtain information relating to my current and / or previous employment, education, and personal history records.

RAIDER NEWS ~ Edward C. Reed High School Community Newsletter ~ November / December 2013
Raider Announcements
October is a time when hands come together across the nation, working to make a difference. Our own Raider Nation is no different. Student Leadership, Key Club, Raiders Reaching Out, National Honor Society, and other groups have made a huge difference in our community.
We raise funds, donate an array of desperately needed items, work with diverse groups from small children to the elderly, clean up local parks and environment- tally sensitive areas, and much more. One recent accomplishment stands out. The hundreds of hours we have spent at the Northern Nevada Food Bank have recently earned us a place as one of their top volunteer groups. Representatives from Reed have been invited to a special luncheon to celebrate this achievement.
Keep up the good work, Raiders. You bring honor to us all.
