Meet Mrs. Aubrey Tackmann - 5th Grade Teacher! Hello, Glenwood City families! My name is Aubrey Tackmann and I am excited to share that I will be starting my first year of teaching, this fall, in 5th grade! I graduated from Winona State University with a Bachelor's de-gree in Criminal Justice-Correc-tions and minored in Psychology. After graduating, I found myself loving the work that I was doing as

a Special Ed. Para for the Lakeville School District. I worked as a Paraprofessional for a total of five years, and in between those years, I decided to go back to school to get my Master's degree in Elementary Education. I graduated from UW-River Falls in Janu-ary 2014, and followed up that spring as a long-term substitute at Glenwood Elementary in 1st grade! My husband, two kids, two dogs, and I love being outside en-joying the beautiful summer and fall weather in Wisconsin! We especially enjoy hiking, fishing, going on walks, and playing at the park. I am excited to be, once again, working for the Glenwood City School District and can't wait to meet my 5th graders and their families!

A MESSAGE FROM SUPERINTENDENT

IN MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL By Patrick Gretzlock, Middle/High School Principal

Tim Johnson

By Betsy Haltinner, Elementary PrincipalIN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL


We say goodbye to Mike Mounce af-ter 43 years of service to the district as Transportation Director. Mike is one of those unique people who are able to successfully tackle most

projects. Whether it is mechanics, welding, body work, or general maintenance of equipment, Mr. Mounce does it and does it well. I would like to thank Mike for his many years of service to our students and staff.

The project oversight committee continues to meet at least monthly planning and developing concepts and designs for the referendum. Most areas have a rough plan that will be brought together in the fall for bidding

of work for next spring. There has already been succes-ful completion within our technology infrastructure. New servers, a new network, many new access points for the wireless system, and upgrades to the security and sur-veillance program in our district is complete.

Preliminary budgetary numbers for general school aid have been released with the passing of the new bien-nial budget at the state level. Due to our slight increase in enrollment and strong financial guidance from our school board, we are one of the fortunate districts in the county that will see additional state aid. This is good news for us as taxpayers. Unless something drastically changes when the aid is finalized in October, taxpayers

can expect to see a slight decrease in the overall school mill rate---even with the addition of the referendum!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our custodial and buildings and grounds maintenance team. Cleaning and caring for our building and facilities takes hard work and strong dedication. We are fortunate to have a good group of people in this department that work diligently to keep our building looking nice (see photo on page 21).

Enjoy the remainder of your summer.

WELCOME TO THE GLENWOOD CITY ELEMENTARY (GCE) 2015-2016 SCHOOL YEAR! I hope you and your family are enjoying summer. Sum-mer is a critical time for families.

The experiences and memories that you engage in are a source that children will draw upon during the school year to provide relevance to their learning. While sum-mer is quickly winding down our GCE staff has been serving students through our summer school enrich-ment courses and the STARS program. Thank you for encouraging your child to participate in these enriching educational experiences.

The new school year will bring some changes. •Mrs. Borgenheimer (Goodrich) is moving to 3rd grade.•Ms. Carey is moving to 1st grade.•Mrs. Aubrey Tackmann will be joining the GCE team in 5th grade. •Ms. Brite will be taking on a new role. She will serve as an Assistant Principal for the district.

Our school day will also be changing. School will start each day at 8:20 and we will dismiss students at 3:20. Children should not arrive at school before 8:05 AM. Please remember that the doors will be unlocked from 8:05 to 8:20 each morning. After 8:20 the Aiphone will need to be used to enter the building. At the end of the day we ask that parents and families continue to meet students in the lobby area for pick up or utilize the drop off/pick up route in front of the school.

This year GCE will also operate on a trimester calendar for grade reporting. This calendar provides more time to instruct, assess, and adjust instruction to address stu-dent needs in each marking period before a report card

grade is computed. Grade periods will end on December 2, March 7, and June 3 with report cards prepared and sent home within the next week. Parent teacher confer-ences will continue to be held in conjunction with the middle and high school on October 8 and March 10.

Our GCE staff is looking forward to working with you and your child/children as we work to continue to provide quality curriculum, and rigorous and relevant learning opportunities that will help them grow academically, so-cially and emotionally.

As in the past, we will begin the year with a Student-Parent-Teacher Orientation. Student-Parent-Teacher Ori-entation will be considered the first day of school. You may come in at a time that is convenient for your family to meet their teacher(s), visit with the staff, bring in sup-plies and spend time in the school.

Student-Parent-Teacher Orientation 4K through 5th grade-Monday, August 31 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Kindergarten through 5th GradeThe first full day of classes will be Tuesday, September 1.

4 Year old KindergartenMonday and Wednesday class will meet for their first full day of class on Wednesday, September 2.

Tuesday and Thursday classes will meet for the first full day of school Tuesday, September 1. Also during this Orientation Day students and families that met our Summer Reading Challenge of 40 books or 1000 minutes will receive a special treat! Keep reading everyone!

Improving Literacy will continue to be a focus at GCE! Topper Hour will continue to be an independent reading time. During this time our teachers will provide interven-tions that focus on skills requiring reinforcement, reme-diation or enhancement. Topper Hour allows us to con-tinue to work towards the district’s mission of improving teaching and learning, enabling all students to achieve their highest standard of performance.

We are always looking for parent volunteers. The GCE Parent Teacher Committee has been busy raising funds to improve the playground. This summer their hard work has paid off. We have been able to add three new piec-es of equipment. Throughout the summer we have had many parent volunteers help to complete our playground project. Additionally, we are looking for a parent repre-sentative to serve on our School-Wide Title I Leadership Team. If you are interested in either of these opportuni-ties, please contact Glenwood City Elementary School at (715) 265-4231 or email Betsy Haltinner at [email protected].

The GCE faculty and staff are looking forward to a suc-cessful 2015/16 school year. It is a privilege and a plea-sure to serve you and your child/children. Thank you for sharing your students with us and please do not hesitate to email or phone with questions or concerns.

Respectfully,Betsy Haltinner, Elementary Principal [email protected](715) 265-4231

What Kind of Changes Can We Expect? The previous article I submitted to Hilltopper Highlights focused on change; this article, hopes to add

specifics to the idea of change that I wrote about and bring it to life. Hopefully, this will allow to see that it’s more than change for the sake of change; it is change for the sake of moving forward; it is change for the sake of improving on our programming; it is change to build students who will leave the protection and shelter of Glenwood City High School and need to become produc-tive members of a society that is becoming more global by the second.

This article will attempt to address, what I believe to be, the most significant change that I will address during the 2015-2016 school year – improving communication; namely, communication between myself (on behalf of the school) and parents. I would like to say that my first year at the helm of Glenwood City High School/Middle School I was an effective communicator, but that would be an inaccurate statement. I was not timely with com-munications – falling behind in reaching out to parents; I

was not always positive with my communications – con-tacting parents as a necessity due to behavior issues, rather than as a means to celebrate student success; I was not as transparent as I would like to be. Knowing my shortcomings is helping me prepare for the upcoming school year and will help me create a system in which I can improve on my timing, rationale and openness about what is happening here at GCHS and GCMS.

That brings us back to the title of the article – “what kind of changes can we expect?” I have already begun to im-plement change as can be evidenced by logging onto the high school/middle school website and viewing the lay-out and content. The body of the site contains informa-tion about student activities, information for parents, op-portunities for students to celebrate being a Hilltopper, as well as a blog that is updated at least twice a month (there are presently two topics posted for your view and commentary). You will also find information about office hours, bell schedules and important documents that you may need to access throughout the course of the upcom-ing school year, including the student handbook. By the beginning of the school year, I am hopeful to have a Twit-ter account activated, providing me with an opportunity

to share on a weekly, if not daily, basis the learning that is taking place within our walls.

I am hopeful that by focusing energy on this change, that I can build on the levels of trust that need to ex-ist between the school (me) and the community if we are to continue to be an institution that can ex-ceed the expectations that are being placed upon us. I encourage you to contact me in regard to my efforts for improving communication that will be taking place throughout the school year. If you have comments, ques-tions or even suggestions, please share them as you are able. The only that way that I can ensure that these changes are successful, is to rely on you for feedback.

Please feel free to reach out to me by email – [email protected] or by calling the school at (715)265-4266 x. 7471.

“Communication leads to community, that is, to understand-ing, intimacy and mutual valuing.” ~ Rollo May

I. STATEMENTThe School District of Glenwood City agrees to provide trans-portation for all pupils residing in the district only to and from the public or private school, which they are entitled to attend on regular routes approved for the public school bus consistent with the laws of Wisconsin in regard to school transportation.

II. ELIGIBILITY Any elementary, middle school and high school students living

in the Glenwood City Public School District but outside the corporate limits of Glenwood City are entitled to transporta-tion, without charge, to and from school.

A. Your official drop-off and pick-up point is your resi-dent drive way or school. Congested areas will have only limited stops as designated by the administration.

B. Aside from your residence, parents may request one other transportation point for their child for daycare purposes. If requested the Alternative Drop Off/Pick Up Transportation form (located in the student hand-books) must be completed and turned in to the office.

C. This location must be within ½ mile of an established bus route.

D. Other alterations in bus riding arrangements (i.e. birth-day parties, visiting with a classmate, etc.) must be cleared through the office/classroom teacher.

III. DISCIPLINE Discipline is covered as stated in the student handbooks.

STUDENT TRANSPORTATION POLICY

OBJECTIVE:1. To promote regular and punctual student atten-

dance.2. To clearly communicate to school personnel, stu-

dents, parents, and the district residents, the School District of Glenwood City’s expectations regarding student attendance.

3. To comply fully with state laws related to compul-sory school attendance and truancy.

4. To establish procedures and responsibilities for school personnel, students, and parents to fol-low in matters relating to student attendance.

Regular and punctual student attendance is an im-portant factor in success at school. All children in the district who are between the ages of six and eighteen shall attend school regularly, and during the full pe-riod and hours that school is in session, to the end of the school year. Furthermore, students shall attend school until the end of the quarter, semester, or term in the school year in which the child becomes eigh-teen years of age unless they are excused or have graduated from high school.

Parents or guardians are responsible for their child’s regular and punctual school attendance. The school district will assist the parents/guardians with this im-portant responsibility by communicating with them about current attendance status. Where appropri-ate, the school district will provide assistance to par-ents in promoting regular attendance. In situations where regular attendance has not been achieved, the school district will refer the student and parents to the appropriate authorities as a violation of the state truancy law.

The school district administration shall be respon-sible for determining and implementing the rules and procedures for complying with the state laws. These rules and procedures shall be approved by the school board prior to use.

ABSENCE – RETURN TO SCHOOL PROCEDURE1. The parent or guardian of the absent student

calls or emails the school office at or before 10:30 a.m. on the day of the absence. The of-fice needs the name of the student and the rea-

son for the absence. In some cases, the school will attempt to contact the parents or guardians of absent students if no call is received by the above time. A note, in place of a phone call, will be accepted in the office on the morning the stu-dent returns from the absence.

2. The student reports to the office on the morning of the first day after the absence. The office will issue a make-up slip with an indication that the absence is excused or unexcused.

3. Show the make-up slip to all your teachers. Make-up work will be issued.

ABSENCE – PREARRANGED PROCEDURE1. Parents are authorized to excuse their child from

school attendance for any reason, up to a maxi-mum of 10 days in a school year, provided they notify the school in writing prior to the absence. Students shall complete course work missed dur-ing the absence.

2. Middle/High School only: If approval is granted, an “Pre-Arranged Absence Slip” will be issued.

3. The student presents this slip to his/her teachers. The teacher signs the slip indicating activities/as-signments that will be missed; as appropriate, the student completes the required work and returns it to the teacher. The teacher will then sign the slip. The slip is returned to the office; a copy will be provided to the student. This is to be done be-fore you leave.

TARDINESS1. Elementary: The office will issue tardy slips during

school hours plus the parent/guardian signs the student in.

2. Middle/High School: The office will issue tardy slips for any period a student is late to class. Ex-cessive tardiness will require students to make up missed time and will be counted toward truancy.

ABSENCES AND TRUANCYIf any absence is considered a truancy, suspension or detention may be applied as described.Students leaving school at any time must sign out in the office before leaving. Otherwise, this may be an unexcused absence and disciplinary action may result.

Welcome Mrs. Brite as Assistant PrincipalI hope everyone is having a wonderful summer, for those of you who don't know me, I am Nicole Brite! I have spent the past 7 school years as a 3rd grade and 5th grade teacher here at GCE and I am very excited to be the new District Assistant Principal this coming school year. My journey to school administra-tion began right here at GCHS

where I graduated in 1999. From there I went to UWEC where I earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology. After working as a job coach for a few years, I decided to return to school, but this time at UWRF for my masters degree in education. In 2008 I joined the GCE staff as a 3rd grade teacher and in 2014 became a 5th grade teacher. Dur-ing the summer of 2014 I returned to UWRF to obtain my school administrators license. Along the way I also got mar-ried to my husband, Bryan, and had 3 children: Noah (10), Brooklynn (8), and Sawyer (4) all of whom join me right here at GCE everyday! I have truly enjoyed working with all of the staff, students, and parents here in Glenwood City and I look forward to working with and getting to know even more

of you! This coming school year, my role will be to work as the district assessment coordinator, summer school coordi-nator, assist Mrs. Haltinner and Mr. Gretzlock with student discipline, work with our staff as an instructional coach, support positive student character development, along with other various duties throughout the district. I hope to have many opportunities to work with many of the students and staff throughout the district. My office will be located in room 225, right next to the science lab and across the hall from the elementary/middle school library. I look forward to the start of the 2015-2016 school year and seeing all of the students, staff, and families in our hallways everyday!

PRIVACY IN LOCKER ROOMS

The School District of Glenwood City shall observe measures intended to protect the privacy rights of individuals using school locker rooms. The following provisions outline the ex-tent to which that protection can and will be provided:

(1) Locker rooms are provided for the use of physical edu-cation students, athletes, and other activity groups and individuals authorized by the building principal or by District policy. No one will be permitted to enter into the locker room or remain in the locker room to interview or seek information from an individual in the locker room at any time. Such interviews may take place outside of the locker room consistent with applicable District poli-cies and/or school rules.

(2) No cameras, video recorders or other devices that can be used to record or transfer images may be used in the locker room at any time

(3) No person may use a cell phone to capture, record, or transfer a representation of a nude or partially nude person in the locker room or to take any other photo or video image of a person in the locker room.

Students and staff violating this policy shall be subject to school disciplinary action and possible legal referral, if appli-cable. Other persons violating the policy may be subject to penalties outlined in state law. The building principal or his/her designee shall be responsible for enforcing this policy.

Model Notification of Rights Under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) PPRA affords parents of elementary and secondary students certain rights regarding the conduct of surveys, collection and use of information for marketing purposes, and certain physical exams. These include, but are not limited to, the right to: Consent before students are required to submit to a survey that concerns one or more of the following protected areas (“protected information survey”) if the survey is funded in whole or in part by a program of the U.S. Department of Education (ED)–

1. Political affiliations or beliefs of the student or student’s parent; 2. Mental or psychological problems of the student or student’s family; 3. Sex behavior or attitudes; 4. Illegal, anti-social, self-incriminating, or demeaning behavior; 5. Critical appraisals of others with whom respondents have close family relationships; 6. Legally recognized privileged relationships, such as with lawyers, doctors, or ministers; 7. Religious practices, affiliations, or beliefs of the student or student’s parent; or 8. Income, other than as required by law to determine program eligibility.

Receive notice and an opportunity to opt a student out of – 1. Any other protected information survey, regardless of funding; 2. Any non-emergency, invasive physical exam or screening required as a condition of attendance, administered by the school or its agent, and not necessary to protect the immediate health and safety of a student, except for hearing, vision, or scoliosis screenings, or any physical exam or screening permitted or required under State law; and 3. Activities involving collection, disclosure, or use of personal information collected from students for marketing or to sell or otherwise distribute the information to others. (This does not apply to the collection, disclosure, or use of personal information collected from students for the exclusive purpose of developing, evaluating, or providing educational products or services for, or to, students or educational institutions.)

Inspect, upon request and before administration or use – 1. Protected information surveys of students and surveys created by a third party; 2. Instruments used to collect personal information from students for any of the above marketing, sales,

or other distribution purposes; and 3. Instructional material used as part of the educational curriculum.

These rights transfer from the parents to a student who is 18 years old or an emancipated minor under State law.

Glenwood City School District will/has develop[ed] and adopt[ed] policies, in consultation with parents, regarding these rights, as well as arrangements to protect student privacy in the administration of protected information surveys and the collection, disclosure, or use of personal information for marketing, sales, or other distribution purposes. GCSD will directly notify parents of these policies at least annually at the start of each school year and after any substantive changes. GCSD will also directly notify, such as through U.S. Mail or email, parents of students who are scheduled to participate in the specific activities or surveys noted below and will provide an opportunity for the parent to opt his or her child out of participation of the specific activity or survey. GCSD will make this notification to parents at the beginning of the school year if the District has identified the specific or approximate dates of the activities or surveys at that time. For surveys and activities scheduled after the school year starts, parents will be provided reasonable notification of the planned activities and surveys listed below and be provided an opportunity to opt their child out of such activities and surveys. Parents will also be provided an opportunity to review any pertinent surveys. Following is a list of the specific activities and surveys covered under this direct notification requirement: Collection, disclosure, or use of personal information collected from students for marketing, sales, or other distribution. Administration of any protected information survey not funded in whole or in part by ED. Any non-emergency, invasive physical examination or screening as described above. Parents who believe their rights have been violated may file a complaint with: Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20202

In past years, thousands of Wisconsin children caught dis-eases such as measles, pertussis (whooping cough) and rubella, and many were left with severe disabilities. The Stu-dent Immunization Law was passed in order to keep these and other vaccine-preventable diseases from returning and harming the health of our children.

The Student Immunization Law requires that all students through grade 12 meet a minimum number of required im-munizations prior to school entrance. These requirements can be waived only for health, religious or personal convic-tion reasons.

Following is an excerpt of Chapter 252, Communicable Diseas-es, of the Wisconsin Statutes relating to school immunization. The Department of Health Services shall carry out a statewide immunization program to eliminate mumps, measles, rubella (German measles), diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), poliomyelitis and other diseases that the department specifies by rule, and to protect against tetanus. Any person who immunizes an individual under this section shall maintain records identifying the manu-facturer and lot number of the vaccine used, the date of immunization and the name and title of the person who immunized the individual. These records shall be avail-able to the individual or, if the individual is a minor, to his or her parent, guardian or legal custodian upon request. Any student admitted to any elementary, middle, junior, or senior high school or into any child care center or nurs-ery school shall, within 30 school days after the date on which the student is admitted, present written evidence to the school, child care center, or nursery school of hav-ing completed the first immunization for each vaccine re-quired for the student’s grade and being on schedule for the remainder of the basic and recall (booster) immuniza-tion series for mumps, measles, rubella (German measles), diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), poliomyelitis, tetanus, and other diseases that the department speci-fies by rule or shall present a written waiver under sub. (3). The immunization requirement is waived if the student, if an adult, or the student’s parent, guardian, or legal custo-dian submits a written statement to the school, child care center, or nursery school objecting to the immunization for reasons of health, religion, or personal conviction. At the time any school, child care center, or nursery school notifies a student, parent, guardian, or legal custodian of the im-munization requirements, it shall inform the person in writ-ing of the person’s right to a waiver under this subsection.

The student, if an adult, or the student’s parent, guardian, or legal custodian shall keep the school, child care center, or nursery school informed of the student’s compliance with the immunization schedule. By the 15th and the 25th school day after the date on which the student is admit-ted to a school, child care center, or nursery school, the school, child care center, or nursery school shall notify in writing any adult student or the parent, guardian, or legal custodian of any minor student who has not met the immu-nization or waiver requirements of this section. The notices shall cite the terms of those requirements and shall state that court action and forfeiture penalty could result due to noncompliance. The notices shall also explain the reasons for the immunization requirements and include information on how and where to obtain the required immunizations. A school, child care center, or nursery school may exclude from the school, child care center, or nursery school any student who fails to satisfy the requirements ofsub. (2). Beginning on July 1, 1993, if the department determines that fewer than 98% of the students in a child care center, nursery school, or school district who are subject to the re-quirements of sub. (2) have complied with sub. (2), the child care center or nursery school shall exclude any child who fails to satisfy the requirements of sub. (2) and the school district shall exclude any student enrolled in grades kinder-garten to 6 who fails to satisfy the requirements of sub. (2). Beginning on July 1, 1995, if the department determines that fewer than 99% of the students in a child care center, nursery school, or school district who are subject to the re-quirements of sub. (2) have complied with sub. (2), the child care center or nursery school shall exclude any child who fails to satisfy the requirements of sub. (2) and the school district shall exclude any student enrolled in grades kinder-garten to 6 who fails to satisfy the requirements of sub. (2). No student may be excluded from public school under this paragraph for more than 10 consecutive school days un-less, prior to the 11th consecutive school day of exclusion, the school board provides the student and the student’s parent, guardian or legal custodian with an additional no-tice, a hearing and the opportunity to appeal the exclusion, as provided under s. 120.13 (1) (c) 3.

STUDENT IMMUNIZATION LAW AGE/GRADE REQUIREMENTS

2014 SCHOOL YEAR AND BEYOND

The following are the minimum required immunizations for each age/grade level. It is not a recommended immu-nization schedule for infants and preschoolers. For that schedule, contact your doctor or local health department. DTP/DTaP/DT vaccine for children entering Kindergar-ten: Your child must have received one dose after the 4th birthday (either the 3rd, 4th, or 5th dose) to be compliant. (Note: a dose 4 days or less before the 4th birthday is also acceptable). For children who are “up to date” with their preschool DTaP series this will be the final (5th) dose that is recommended to ensure prolonged protection, primar-ily against pertussis also known as whooping cough. For children who are not “up to date” this dose may be the 3rd or 4th in the series and no further doses are required. DTP/DTaP/DT/Td vaccine for students entering Pre K and grades 1 through 12: Four doses are required. How-ever, if your child received the 3rd dose after the 4th birthday, further doses are not required. (Note: a dose 4 days or less before the 4th birthday is also acceptable). Tdap means adolescent tetanus, diphtheria and acel-lular pertussis vaccine. If your child received a dose of a tetanus-containing vaccine, such as Td, within 5 years of entering the grade in which Tdap is required, your child is compliant and a dose of Tdap vaccine is not required. Polio vaccine for students entering grades Kindergar-ten through 12: Four doses are required. However, if your child received the 3rd dose after the 4th birth-day, further doses are not required. (Note: a dose 4 days or less before the 4th birthday is also acceptable). The first dose of MMR vaccine must have been re-ceived on or after the first birthday (Note: a dose 4 days or less before the 1st birthday is also acceptable). Var means Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine. A history of chick-enpox disease is also acceptable. (Previously, only one dose of Varicella was required, now a second dose is required.)

Waivers are available for religious, health, and personal conviction reasons. However, in the event of an outbreak of a vaccine preventable disease, students with waivers may be excluded from school until the outbreak subsides.

If you would like further information on immunization, please see the following websites: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/, http://www.immunize.org/ and http://dhs.wis-consin.gov/immunization/index.htm or, contact the school nurse at 715-265-4231.

SCHOOL IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM

Meningococcal Disease: Protect Your Child

Public health authorities recommend that teenagers and college-bound students be immunized against a potential-ly fatal bacterial infection called meningococcal disease, a type of meningitis.

Routine meningococcal immunization is recommended for adolescents during the preadolescent doctor’s visit (11- to 12-year-olds), adolescents at high school entry (15-year-olds), if they have not previously been immunized, and for college freshmen living in dormitories.

Meningococcal disease is a rare but potentially fatal bacte-rial infection that can cause severe swelling of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) or a serious blood infection (meningococcemia). Meningococcal disease strikes up to 3,000 Americans each year; nearly 30 percent of these cases are among teenagers and college students.

Meningococcal disease is often misdiagnosed as some-thing less serious because early symptoms are similar to

common viral illnesses. Symptoms of meningococcal dis-ease may include high fever, severe headache, stiff neck, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, confusion, exhaustion and/or a rash.

Meningococcal disease is spread through direct contact with respiratory and/or oral secretions from infected per-sons (for example, kissing or sharing drinking containers). It can develop and spread quickly throughout the body, so early diagnosis and treatment are very important. Even with immediate treatment, the disease can kill an other-wise healthy young person within hours of first symptoms. Approximately 10%-14% of people that contract the dis-ease die from it. Of those who survive, up to 20 percent may endure permanent disabilities, including brain dam-age, deafness and limb amputations.

Lifestyle factors common among teenagers and college students are believed to put them at increased risk of contracting meningococcal disease. These lifestyle fac-tors include crowded living situations (for example, dormi-tories, sleep-away camps), active or passive smoking and irregular sleeping habits. Teens should avoid sharing eat-

ing utensils and drinking out of the same container, since infections may spread through this type of close contact.

OFFICIAL NOTICES

Vaccine Do you need it?

If you haven’t been vaccinated and haven’t had chickenpox, you need 2 doses of this vaccine. Anybody who was vaccinated with only 1 dose should get a second dose.

You need 2 doses of hepatitis A vaccine if you would like to be protected from this disease or if you have a risk factor for hepatitis A. Check with your healthcare provider to find out if you need this vaccine.

This vaccine is recommended for all people age 0–18 years. You need a series of doses of hepatitis B vaccine if you have not already received them.

All preteens and teens age 11 and older need 3 doses of HPV vaccine. The vaccine protects against HPV, the most common cause of cervical cancer. It also protects against some other types of cancers, such as cancer of the anus and penis.

Everyone age 6 months and older needs influenza vaccination every fall or winter and for the rest of their lives.

You need 2 doses of MMR vaccine if you have not already received them. MMR vaccine is usually given in childhood.

All preteens and teens age 11–18 years need 2 doses of MCV4. If you are a first-year college student living in a residence hall, you need a dose of MCV4 if you have never received it or received it when you were younger than 16. Check with your healthcare provider.

Do you have a chronic health problem? If so, check with your healthcare provider to find out if you need the pneumococcal vaccine.

You need a series of at least 3 doses of polio vaccine if you have not already received them. Polio vaccine is usually given in childhood.

All preteens and teens (and adults!) need a dose of Tdap vaccine, a vaccine that protects you from tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough (pertussis). After getting a dose of Tdap, you will need a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) shot every ten years. If you become pregnant, however, you will need another dose of Tdap during the pregnancy, preferably during the third trimester.

If you will be traveling outside the United States, additional vaccines may be needed. For information, consult your health-care provider, a travel clinic, or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov/travel.

Your children may qualify for free meals or for reduced price meals. Reduced price is [$] for breakfast and [$] for lunch. This packet includes an application for free or reduced price meal benefits, and a set of detailed instructions.

WHO CAN GET FREE OR REDUCED PRICE MEALS? • All children in households receiving benefits from FoodShare, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), or W-2 Cash Benefits are eligible for free meals.• Foster children that are under the legal respon-sibility of a foster care agency or court are eligible for free meals. • Children participating in their school’s Head Start program are eligible for free meals.• Children who meet the definition of homeless, runaway, or migrant are eligible for free meals.• Children may receive free or reduced price meals if your household’s income is within the limits on the Fed-eral Income Eligibility Guidelines. Your children may qualify for free or reduced price meals if your household income falls at or below the limits on this chart.

FEDERAL ELIGIBILITY INCOME CHART For School Year 2015-2016Household size Yearly ($) Monthly ($) Weekly ($) 1 21,775 1,815 419 2 29,471 2,456 567 3 37,167 3,098 715 4 44,863 3,739 863 5 52,559 4,380 1,011 6 60,255 5,022 1,159 7 67,951 5,663 1,307 8 75,647 6,304 1,455Each additional person: 7,696 642 148

2. HOW DO I KNOW IF MY CHILDREN QUALIFY AS HOMELESS, MIGRANT, OR RUNAWAY? Do the members of your household lack a permanent address? Are you stay-ing together in a shelter, hotel, or other temporary housing arrangement? Does your family relocate on a seasonal basis? Are any children living with you who have chosen

to leave their prior family or household? If you believe children in your household meet these descriptions and haven’t been told your children will get free meals, please call Nicole Brite (715-265-4757) to see if they qualify.3. DO I NEED TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION FOR EACH CHILD? No. Use one Free and Reduced Price School Meals Application for all students in your household. We cannot approve an application that is not complete, so be sure to fill out all required information. Return the com-pleted application to the Elementary Office or the Middle/High School Office.4. SHOULD I FILL OUT AN APPLICATION IF I RE-CEIVED A LETTER THIS SCHOOL YEAR SAYING MY CHIL-DREN ARE ALREADY APPROVED FOR FREE MEALS? No, but please read the letter you got carefully and follow the instructions. If any children in your household were missing from your eligibility notification, contact Shelley Doornink at 715-265-4231 immediately.5. MY CHILD’S APPLICATION WAS APPROVED LAST YEAR. DO I NEED TO FILL OUT A NEW ONE? Yes. Your child’s application is only good for that school year and for the first few days of this school year. You must send in a new application unless the school told you that your child is eligible for the new school year. 6. I GET WIC. CAN MY CHILDREN GET FREE MEALS? Children in households participating in WIC may be eligible for free or reduced price meals. Please send in an application.7. WILL THE INFORMATION I GIVE BE CHECKED? Yes. We may also ask you to send written proof of the household income you report. 8. IF I DON’T QUALIFY NOW, MAY I APPLY LATER? Yes, you may apply at any time during the school year. For example, children with a parent or guardian who becomes unemployed may become eligible for free and reduced price meals if the household income drops below the income limit.9. WHAT IF I DISAGREE WITH THE SCHOOL’S DECISION ABOUT MY APPLICATION? You should talk to school officials. You also may ask for a hearing by calling 715-265-4757 or writing to: Tim Johnson, Superinten-dent, School District of Glenwood City, 850 Maple Street, Glenwood City, WI 54013.10. MAY I APPLY IF SOMEONE IN MY HOUSEHOLD IS NOT A U.S. CITIZEN? Yes. You, your children, or other household members do not have to be U.S. citizens to ap-ply for free or reduced price meals. 11. WHAT IF MY INCOME IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME?

List the amount that you normally receive. For example, if you normally make $1000 each month, but you missed some work last month and only made $900, put down that you made $1000 per month. If you normally get overtime, include it, but do not include it if you only work overtime sometimes. If you have lost a job or had your hours or wages reduced, use your current income.12. WHAT IF SOME HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS HAVE NO INCOME TO REPORT? Household members may not receive some types of income we ask you to report on the application, or may not receive income at all. Whenever this happens, please write a 0 in the field. However, if any income fields are left empty or blank, those will also be counted as zeroes. Please be careful when leaving income fields blank, as we will assume you meant to do so.13. WE ARE IN THE MILITARY. DO WE REPORT OUR INCOME DIFFERENTLY? Your basic pay and cash bonuses must be reported as income. If you get any cash value al-lowances for off-base housing, food, or clothing, or receive Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance payments, it must also be included as income. However, if your hous-ing is part of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, do not include your housing allowance as income. Any additional combat pay resulting from deployment is also excluded from income. 14. WHAT IF THERE ISN’T ENOUGH SPACE ON THE APPLICATION FOR MY FAMILY? List any additional house-hold members on a separate piece of paper, and attach it to your application. Contact the Elementary or Middle/High School Office to receive a second application.15. MY FAMILY NEEDS MORE HELP. ARE THERE OTHER PROGRAMS WE MIGHT APPLY FOR? To find out how to apply for FoodShare or other assistance benefits, con-tact your local assistance office or call 1-800-362-3002.If you have other questions or need help, call 715-265-4231.

Sincerely, Sherry Crosby, Food Service Director Ron Johnson, Food Service Administrator

DISCIPLINELOCKER SEARCHES

It is the policy of the School District of Glenwood City to maintain a positive, safe, and secure learning environ-ment. In striving to maintain such an environment, the School District Board of Education provides authority to school personnel to search pupil lockers when necessary.

In accordance with state statutes, the School District of Glenwood City retains ownership and possession/control of all pupil lockers. In doing so, an official, employee, or agent of the Glenwood City School District may search a pupil’s locker as determined necessary or appropriate without the consent of the pupil, without notifying the pu-pil, and without obtaining a search warrant. Personnel designated as agents under this policy to conduct locker searches are administrators, teachers, and classified staff.

A copy of the policy is included in the Student Handbook that is distributed to each student in the district.

SCHOOL PERFORMANCE REPORT

According to Wis. § 115.38(2), par-ents/guardians have the right to request a School Performance Re-port for the district. The report must be distributed to those parents/guardians who request it by May 1 each year. Additionally, if the dis-trict maintains an Internet site, the performance report must be made available to the public on that site. The School District of Glenwood City does maintain an Internet web page located at www.gcsd.k12.wi.us and our School Performance Report is available on that site. If you would like a printed copy of the performance report, please contact the high school office at 265-4266.

YOUTH OPTIONSThe Youth Options program is instituted by the Depart-ment of Public Instruction. It was established to allow 11th and 12th graders to enroll at a college or techni-cal institution in Wisconsin and take courses that lead to high school credit and college credit, if approved by the local school board. School Boards can approve costs being paid by the school district as specified by the program for a participating pupil, if the board de-termines that the post-secondary course is not com-parable to a course already being offered and avail-able to the student through the school curriculum. To access the Youth Options program, students must notify the school board of their intentions to participate in the program by March 1, for the fall semester, and by October 1, for the spring semester. Students must also apply to an institution of higher education and meet requirements and standards established by the institution of higher education for participation in this program. If you need additional information or are in-terested in the Youth Options program, please contact Shelly Laffin at 715-265-4266.

The school supply list is also available at www.gcsd.k12.wi.us


HILLTOPPER’S SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAMSchool meals play a critical role in helping children learn how to lead healthy lifestyles

The new meal standards by the USDA ensure that children have the energy they need to learn in class and be physically active, while reducing the risk for obesity, diabetes, and other serious chronic diseases.

The standards are based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) as well as the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Underneath the science-based stan-dards, school meals are the “right-sized” and reflect the appropriate balance between food groups. In addition to low-fat dairy and leaner proteins, the new school meals offer more in whole-grains, fruits and vegetables.

To help students ensure that they are getting maximum energy benefits from their meal, the cafeteria will have colorful menus with signage and the amount of foods that can be selected.

As for students they need to try foods many times before they like them! Here are some helpful tips to take an active role in school meals and encourage your children to eat healthy meals:

• Make time to join your child(ren) for lunch in the school cafeteria.

• When your child gets home from school, ask what was served and what (s)he ate for lunch.

• Eat meals with your child(ren) whenever possible. Let your child see you enjoy-ing fruits and vegetables and whole-grains at meals and snacks.

• Grocery shopping can teach your children about healthy options and nutrition.

• Share the adventure!!! Serve new foods offered in the cafeteria at home.

The School Day just got Healthier!! Together we can make a difference and help our kids develop habits for life.

School Breakfast NewsletterPromote the School Breakfast Program in your school or organization’s newslet-ter! Customize these sample inserts to create a new message each month. Add or delete wording to make the information specific to your school.

We Need YOU!Would you like to make a difference in your child’s school? Well, here’s how!

A: Every year, your family receives a Free and Reduced Price Meal Application. It is important to fill out this form and return it to school for two reasons:

1. The application lets us know if your child is eligible for free or reduced price school meals. Children from families that earn below a certain income level can receive free or reduced price lunch and breakfast at school. 2. Applications are used to match funding our school receives for resources for students such as books and classroom furniture.

The application is easy to fill out and easy to understand. Also, you do not have to worry about your information being shared with others because application information is CONFIDENTIAL. Support the School Breakfast Program today by completing your application! If you have any questions, feel free to contact the school’s front office.

B: Encourage them to try out the School Breakfast Program! Mornings can be hec-tic and making sure your kids eat a healthy breakfast can be difficult in the thick of the A.M. rush. Fortunately, a nutritious, balanced meal is offered in school at the start of each day! It’s fun, easy, and provides your children with the fuel they need to energize their day and perform their very best. So don’t let them run on empty…give school breakfast a try today!

SPECIAL EDUCATION AVAILABILITYThe school district must locate, identify, and evaluate all resident children with disabilities, includ-ing children with disabilities attending private school, regardless of the severity of the disabilities. The school district has a special education screening program to locate and screen all children with suspected disabilities who are residents of the district and who have not graduated from high school. Upon request the school district will screen any resident child who has not graduated from high school to determine whether a special education referral is appropriate. A request may be made by contacting the School District of Glenwood City at 265-4757, or by sending request to the school district at 850 Maple Street, Glenwood City, WI 54013. Annually the district conducts developmental screening of preschool children. Each child’s motor, communication, and social skills are observed at various play areas. Each child is weighed and measured, and the child’s hearing and vision is checked. The information is used to provide the parent with a profile of their child’s current development and to provide suggestions for follow-up activities. Parents learn about community services available to them and speak with representa-tives of agencies serving families. The information from screening is also used to determine wheth-er a child should be evaluated for a suspected disability. When school staff reasonably believes a child is a child with a disability, they refer the child for evaluation by a school district Individualized Education Program (IEP) team. Developmental screening will be part of the four-year-olds screen-ing. A physician, nurse, psychologist, social worker or administrator of a social agency who reason-ably believes a child brought to him or her for services is a child with a disability has a legal duty to report the child to the school district in which the child resides. Before referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child’s parent that the referral will be made. The refer-ral must be in writing and include the reason why the person believes the child is a child with a disability. Others who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability may also refer the child to the school district in which the child resides. A referral of a child residing in the School District of Glenwood City may be sent to the school district at the address above.

The School District of Glenwood City recognizes that proper nutrition and physical activity are related to students’ physi-cal well-being, growth, development and readiness to learn. A healthy school environment gives students consistent, reliable health information and ample opportunity to use it. The School District of Glenwood City supports and promotes a healthy school nutrition environment, which includes the following: A. Quality school meals with an emphasis on nutritional foods

1. School meals, breakfast and lunch, will follow at least the minimal U.S. Government’s Nutrition Standards

2. Ala carte items that do not meet the District nutri-tion standards may be acceptable through mod-eration (ex: limit amount sold to a student)

B. Other healthy food choices1. All foods served, sold or distributed throughout

the school day shall meet the nutrition guidelines established by the District

C. Pleasant eating experienceD. Nutrition educationE. Marketing health and nutrition within the community

The School District of Glenwood City is committed to providing opportunities for physical activity within the school day. The School District of Glenwood City will promote knowledge and behavior that improve health, intellectual development and overall quality of life. Students, parents, teachers, school officials, community and business leaders must be actively involved in ensuring that the school envi-ronment promotes good health. The district’s nutrition/wellness committee will moni-tor the implementation of the district’s wellness policies, evaluate the progress of related goals, serve as a resource to the staff, plan special events and incentives, and rec-ommend policy revisions as necessary. The committee will meet at least twice yearly and will include the Director of Food Service; a building principal; school nurse; and a student, parent and staff member from each school level. Staff member representation should include at least one physical education teacher and one health teacher. An ad-ministrator will chair the committee.

DISTRICT NUTRITION STANDARDSThe School District of Glenwood City strongly encourages the sale or distribution of nutrient dense foods for all school functions and activities. Nutrient dense foods are those foods that provide students with calories rich in the nutri-ent content needed to be healthy. In an effort to support the consumption of nutrient dense foods in the school setting the District has adopted the following Nutrition Standards for foods sold outside of a reimbursable school meal, such as student vending machines, cafeteria ala carte, fundrais-ers, school stores, school parties and snacks during the school day. School sites are encouraged to study these standards and use the following District Nutrition Stan-dards as minimal guidelines.

Food1. Any given food item for sale prior to the start of the

school day and throughout the instructional day will have no more than 30 grams of carbohydrates.

2. Any given food item for sale prior to the start of the school day and throughout the instructional day will have no more than 7 grams of fat per serving.

3. Nuts and seeds are exempt from these standards be-cause they are nutrient dense and contain high levels of monounsaturated fat. Foods high in monounsatu-rated fat help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol and main-tain “good” HDL cholesterol.

4. It is recognized that there may be special occasions when the school principal may allow a school group to deviate from these guidelines.

5. Encourage the consumption of nutrient dense foods, i.e., whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables.

BeveragesLow fat milk, fat free milk, water, 100% fruit juice, and diet/sugar free beverages may be sold on school grounds both prior to and throughout the instructional day.

Candy1. The vending of candy will not be permitted.2. Non-vending sale of candy will be permitted at the

end of the instructional day.3. Candy is defined as any item that contains sug-

ar (including brown sugar, corn sweetener, corn syrup, fructose, glucose {dextrose}, high fructose corn syrup, honey, invert sugar, lactose, maltose, molasses, raw sugar, table sugar {sucrose}, syrup) listed as one of the first two (2) ingredients.

Classroom IncentiveTeachers are encouraged to consider non-food items as a teacher to student incentive. Should teachers decide to use food items as an incentive, they are to adhere to these guidelines.

GUIDELINESBanned Beverages

1. Any non-diet beverage2. Sport Drinks3. Fruit-based drinks that contain less than 100%

fruit juiceAllowed Beverages

HEALTHY SCHOOL NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL FITNESS

OFFICIAL NOTICESUpon request, the School District of Glenwood City is re-quired to evaluate a child for eligibility for special educa-tion services. A request for evaluation is known as a refer-ral. When the district receives a referral, the district will appoint an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team to determine if the child has a disability, and if the child needs special education services. The district locates, identifies, and evaluates all children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in private (including religious) schools, elementa-ry schools and secondary schools located in the school district.

A physician, nurse, psychologist, social worker, or admin-istrator of a social agency who reasonably believes a child brought to him or her for services is a child with a disability has a legal duty to refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides. Be-fore referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child’s parent that the referral will be made.

Others, including parents, who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability, may also refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides.

Referrals must be in writing and include the reason why the person believes the child is a child with a disability. A referral may be made by contacting Darla Magsam, Coordinator of Spe-cial Education, at 715-265-4757 or by writing School District of Glenwood City, 850 Maple Street, Glenwood City, WI 54013.

OFFICIAL NOTICES

Public high schools are to be used for elector registration of enrolled students and members of the high school staff.

The school board and the municipal clerk are expected to agree upon the appointment of at least one qualified elec-tor at each high school as a special registration deputy. The municipal clerk is responsible for appointing such person as the school registration deputy and explaining the per-son's duties and responsibilities.

Students and staff may register to vote at the high school on any day that classes are regularly held. Elector registra-tion forms should be available in the high school.

The school registration deputy is expected to forward properly completed elector registration forms promptly to the municipal clerk of the municipality which the register-ing student or staff member resides. The municipal clerk, upon receiving such registration forms, is expected to add all those registering electors who have met the registration requirements to the registration list. The form of each high school student who is qualified and will be eligible to vote at the next election should be filed in such a way that when the student attains the age of 18 years the student is regis-tered to vote automatically.

Every U.S. citizen age 18 years of age or older who has re-sided in an election district or ward for 10 days before any election where the citizen offers to vote is considered an eligible elector, except as otherwise specifically provided by law. The following persons shall not be allowed to vote in any election and any attempt to vote shall be rejected:

(1) Any person who is incapable of understanding the objective of the elective process or under guardian-ship pursuant to a court order under Chapter 880 of the state statutes, except that when a person is un-der limited guardianship, the court may determine that the person is competent to exercise the right to vote.

(2) Any person convicted of treason, a felony or bribery, unless the person's civil rights are restored.

The municipal clerk may reject any registration form and must promptly notify the person whose registra tion is rejected of the rejection and the reasons there fore. A person whose registration is rejected may reapply for registration if he/she is qualified.

Each school board is rEquirEd by law to assurE that thE principal of EvEry high school communicatEs ElEctor rEgistration information to studEnts. To help ensure that this information is communicated, school districts may want to:

(1) Add a statement such as the following to a high school principal’s job description: “The high school principal shall communicate elector reg-istration information to students at the begin-ning of each school year.”

(2) Have elector registration information presented to students at the beginning of the school year during an assembly program, homeroom or oth-er orientation session.

(3) Include elector registration information annu-

ally in a school district newsletter or high school student handbook. Sample elector registration language:

“Elector Registration Information: Students and staff may register to vote on any day that classes are regularly held at the high school. Elector reg-istration forms are available in the high school office. Except as otherwise provided by law, a person is considered eligible to vote if he/she:

(1) is a U.S. citizen, (2) is age 18 years of age or older, and (3) has resided in an election district or ward for 10 days before any election where the citizen offers to vote.

Elector registration forms turned into the high school office shall be forwarded to the appropri-ate municipal clerk in accordance with state law. The elector registration form of each high school student who is qualified and will be eligible to vote at the next election will be filed in such a way that when the student attains the age of 18 the student is registered to vote automatically. “

(4) Inform high school students of elector registra-tion information over the public address system or refer them to a location in the school where such information is available (e.g., guidance of-fice).

School districts may want to check with their municipal clerks to see if they have elector registration/voting bro-chures or other elector information that may be used by the district in communicating the information required by law.

ELECTOR REGISTRATION INFORMATION - Ref: § 6.28(a) and (b)

NONDISCRIMINATION

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the School District of Glenwood City does not discriminate against pupils, programs, staff members, employees, and/or overall general operations on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, na-tional origin (including limited-English proficiency), ancestry, religion, creed, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual orientation, or physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability or handicap in its education programs or activities. Federal law prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of age, race, color, national origin, sex, religion, or handicap, and the School District of Glenwood City complies with these laws.

The School District of Glenwood City, realizing that strong family involvement in school activities can greatly improve the educational opportunities for a student, will implement a variety of activities to help facilitate parent involvement within the school. This policy is annually reviewed by par-ents.

The members of the Glenwood City Title I staff each year will convene a fall informational meeting for parents of Title I students and a Spring Annual Review Meeting. The Spring Annual Review will include representatives of the following groups:

• Parents• Teaching Staff• School District Administration

At this Annual Review Meeting the following items will be addressed:

• The Title I Parental Policy Statement• Yearly Needs Assessment Data• Student Ranking and Prioritization Information• Priority of Service• Question/Answer Session

In addition to the above meetings the Title I program will in a timely fashion notify parents or guardians of a child who is eligible to receive Title I services. Parents will also be given the opportunity to refuse services for the child/children.

Parents who wish that their children NOT receive Title ser-vices need only contact the Title I Coordinator.

• Twice a year Title I staff will be available for stu-dent/teacher/parent conferences. Title staff will also be available throughout the year for individ-ually scheduled meetings as needed.

• Parents, Title I teachers and students will be giv-en the opportunity to become part of a compact. It is our hope that this compact will clarify what part we all play in a child’s learning.

• Parents and families of 1st and 2nd grade Title I students will receive: a monthly Title I teacher letter as well as a reading calendar. All Title I families receive a school district newsletter and midquarter reports.

The Title I staff and school district welcome and encourage

parents and other community volunteers to take part in school activities.

The title I parents/families will be given quarterly midterm reports, quarterly report cards, and, twice a year meet dur-ing student led conferences to discuss progress on our standards based report. The benchmarks on the report are our expectations that were claimed from the state standards

If the school district did not meet adequate yearly progress, parents/families would be invited to assist with develop-ing a school improvement plan. Parents/families would work with administrators, board members, staff, and com-munity members to develop a plan to help students meet adequate yearly progress criteria

The district communicates with birth to three and Head Start to best help the transition of these students into the district. Parents/families, representatives from the above-mentioned agencies, and school officials meet to deter-mine the best educational experience for the child.

Building and Grounds Video Surveillance

Surveillance cameras may be used in and around dis-trict buildings. The purpose of the video surveillance system is to enhance the safety and security of stu-dents and staff, while respecting the privacy rights of individuals and to enhance building security.

The system shall be designed to ensure the protec-tion of the personal privacy rights of the individual. Cameras shall not be used in places where individu-als have a reasonable expectation of privacy. All cam-eras shall be located to protect individual safety and building security. Cameras may be located to view building perimeters, entrances, lobbies, gymnasiums,

corridors or other areas where individuals should not have an expectation of privacy.The surveillance camera system may be used accord-ing to the following guidelines:

1. The video camera system will be monitored and will be used only in compliance with state or fed-eral law.

2. Individuals authorized by the District Administra-tor or building principal(s) may view recordings, unless otherwise required by law.

3. The video camera system may be used as a re-source for investigations. Should a video record-ing become part of a student disciplinary action, the recording will become part of the student’s behavioral record, subject to the District’s re-cords policy and procedures as well as state and federal law. The District reserves the right to

provide copies of recordings to law enforcement agencies as deemed appropriate by the adminis-tration and in compliance with appropriate state and federal laws.

4. Any person who takes action to block, move, or alter the location and/or viewing angle of a video camera shall be subject to disciplinary and/or criminal action.

5. The District shall post signs at all main entrances to the building(s), as well as where deemed ap-propriate on school grounds, stating that surveil-lance cameras are in use, but not continuously monitored.

This policy shall be distributed through student and employee handbooks, district newsletters, and by other reasonable means.

Identification BadgesPolicy StatementThe School District of Glenwood City recognizes the importance of providing a safe environ-ment for all District students and staff. To promote a safe environment, the District requires all employees, volunteers and visitors to wear a District-issued identification badge during regular school hours.

Policy Procedure1. Required identification: Identification badges should be displayed in plain view by all em-

ployees, including substitute staff, while carrying out duties of employment.2. Issuing identification badges: The District office will provide the initial picture identifica-

tion badge, clip or lanyard to all regular employees and substitutes at no cost to them. No alterations may be made to the badge. Identification badges will be updated annually or as necessary due to normal use or for changes in employment status.

3. Visitors, volunteers and vendors: All visitors, volunteers and vendors are required to check-in in the main office of the school building they are entering to obtain a visitors identifica-tion badge. When the visitor or vendor leaves the building, they are to check out at the office.

4. Lost or stolen badges: In the event the identification badge is lost or stolen, the District will provide and pay for one replacement badge. Each additional identification badge required will be charged to the employee at a replacement cost. When the employee badge is lost or stolen, employees must immediately contact their building administrator to request a replacement.

5. Special Activities: In the instance of an activity during the school day (i.e. grandparent’s day, etc.) visitors will sign in at the building entrance in lieu of a name badge to be worn during the event.

Doors may be locked according to the following guidelines:

1. Main entrances may otherwise be locked during the school day and only authorized individuals will be allowed entrance through the use of an intercom video system.

2. Main entrances shall be unlocked 15 minutes prior to dismissal and remain unlocked until school-sponsored evening events are finished.

3. All other outside doorways should remain locked at all times, unless for instructional or delivery purposes with appropriate supervision.

4. All employees are expected to help make certain that doors remain locked and are not wedged or kept open by other means.

5. All employees are expected to help make certain that at all times students, staff and the public are able to exit from the interior of the building.

6. The District shall post signs at all main entrances to the building(s) as well as where deemed appropriate on school grounds stating that all visitors should report to the office for check-in.

School Security - Locking of Doors

As a result of federal legislation (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act – AHERA), each primary and secondary school in the nation is required to complete a stringent inspection for asbestos and to develop a plan of management for all asbes-tos-containing building materials. The Glenwood City School District has a goal to be in full compliance with this law and is following the spirit, as well as the letter of the law. As a matter of policy, Glenwood City School District shall continue to maintain a safe and healthful environment for our community’s youth and employees. In keeping with this legislation, all buildings (including portables and support buildings) owned or leased by the school district were inspected by EPA accredited inspectors and samples were analyzed by an independent laboratory. Based on the inspection, the school prepared and the state approved a comprehensive management plan for the safe and responsible handling of asbestos located within its buildings. Glenwood City School District implemented our Operations and Maintenance Program to follow in compliance with Federal law which requires a walk-through (called “surveillance”) every six months of each area containing asbestos. In addition, the law requires all buildings to be reinspected three years after a man-agement plan is in effect. MacNeil Environmental, Inc. will accom-plish this under contract.

The Board of Education supports an educational envi-ronment that is free of harassment of any form. The Board’s authority is derived from Wisconsin statutes that allow school boards to establish rules pertaining to the conduct of pupils to maintain a favorable aca-demic atmosphere. It is therefore the policy of the district that neither students nor employees will be allowed to engage in any form of harassment, intimi-dation or bullying toward other students.

“Harassment” means striking, shoving, kicking, throwing objects at, or otherwise subjecting another person to physical contact or attempting to threat-ening to do the same; name calling; or engaging in a course of conduct or repeatedly committing acts which intimidate, cause discomfort to, or humiliate another person or which interfere with the recipient’s academic or job performance. Harassment includes verbal comments or other expressions which insult, degrade, or stereotype any person or group because of sex, sexual orientation, race, national origin, ances-try, color, creed, religion, pregnancy, marital or paren-tal status, or physical, mental, emotional or learning disability. “Intimidate” means to make timid or fearful, to frighten, or to compel or deter by or as if by threats. Bullying includes aggressive or hostile behavior that is intentional and involves an imbalance of power be-tween the bully and the bullied. Bullying takes many forms, including but not limited to, physical or verbal assaults, nonverbal or emotional threats or intimida-tion, social exclusion and isolation, extortion, and the use of a computer or telecommunications to send embarrassing, slanderous, threatening, or intimidat-ing messages. Bullying can also be characterized by teasing, put-downs, name-calling, cruel rumors, false accusations, and hazing.

All forms of harassment in cyberspace commonly referred to as cyber bullying are unacceptable and viewed as a violation of this policy. Cyber bullying in-cludes but is not limited to the following misuses of technology: harassment, teasing, intimidating, threat-ening, or terrorizing another person or group of peo-ple by sending or posting inappropriate and hurtful e-mail messages, instant messages, text messages, digital pictures or images, or website postings, includ-ing blogs or any other messages via cyberspace. For purposes of this policy, “cyberspace” is defined as a global domain within the information environment consisting of the interdependent network of informa-tion technology infrastructures, including the Internet, telecommunications networks, computer systems, and embedded processors and controllers.

In situations in which cyber bullying originated off school property or from a non-school computer or telecommunication device, but is brought to the at-tention of school officials, any disciplinary action shall be based upon whether the conduct is determined to be severely disruptive of the educational process so that it markedly impedes the day to day operations of a school. Such conduct includes, but is not lim-ited to, harassment, bullying or making a threat off school grounds through cyberspace that is intended to endanger the health, safety or property of others at school, a District employee or a school board mem-ber.

It is the responsibility of administrators, staff mem-bers, and all students to ensure that these prohibited activities do not occur.

Students who believe they have been subjected to harassment, intimidation or bullying or any parents/guardians who believe their student has been sub-jected to harassment, intimidation or bullying should report the incident(s) to the building principal/desig-nee. It is the intent of the School District of Glenwood City to create an atmosphere where complaints will be treated fairly and promptly. If a student or par-ent is not comfortable with making a complaint to the

principal/designee, the complaint may be made to a teacher, counselor, or social worker with the under-standing that incidents must be reported to admin-istration for review and action. The employee receiv-ing the complaint shall report the complaint to the principal or other administrator and superintendent of schools.

Third party witnesses are strongly encouraged to re-port observed incidents of harassment, intimidation or bullying to the administration. Every effort will be made when requested to maintain the confidentiality of witness identity unless the witness is requested to testify in a hearing.

The administration and staff will inform students that the School District of Glenwood City does not toler-ate harassment, intimidation or bullying in any form and will take all necessary and appropriate action to eliminate it, up to and including discipline of offend-ers. Students will be informed of this policy annually and the complaint procedure will be made available to any students or parent/guardian wishing to file a complaint.

HARASSMENT GUIDELINES – STUDENTThe School District of Glenwood City does not tolerate harassment in any form and will take all necessary and appropriate action to eliminate it, up to and in-cluding discipline of offenders. It is the policy of the School District of Glenwood City to maintain a learn-ing environment free of any form of harassment, in-timidation, or bullying toward and between students.

It is essential that staff and students have a clear un-derstanding of behaviors that fall within the definition of “harassment”, intimidation, bullying and cyberbul-lying as defined in this policy.

RetaliationIndividuals reporting incidents of harassment, intimi-dation or bullying will be protected from retaliation. Any individual who engages in retaliatory conduct against a complainant will be subject to discipline un-der this policy. Policy DisseminationA. Every student or student’s parent/guardian will

receive a copy of the policy each year.B. Discussion of harassment, intimidation, bully-

ing and cyberbullying will be included at an age appropriate level through the district’s guidance and counseling program and in student orienta-tion activities.

C. Rules, including the complaint procedure and as-sociated form, will be given to any individual wish-ing to file a complaint.

D. The policy and rules will be reviewed annually with employees.

Complaint ProcedureIt is important for these procedures to respect and advance the rights of all parties, including the pro-tection of personal privacy interests and the protec-tion of the reputation of all concerned and involved parties. In order to ensure fair procedures and to protect these interests, all parties are encouraged to keep these matters confidential. All investigating and reviewing offices are charged with the responsibility to hold these matters in the strictest possible confi-dence in order to guard against the unnecessary or inadvertent disclosure of information relating to any pending charges or investigations.

Students who believe they are the victims of harass-ment, intimidation or bullying or parents/guardians who believe their child is a victim of harassment, should immediately report their concerns to the prin-cipal, social worker, a guidance counselor, or teacher. If an adult employee other than the principal receives

the complaint, the employee shall forward complaints to the principal or other administrator for review and action as necessary. The principal or other admin-istrator will compose a written record of any verbal complaints.

Formal complaints will be taken seriously and will be subject to thorough review and immediate investiga-tion by the receiving office or designee. While time periods are established below for the completion of various actions, the reviewing office shall provide prompt written notice to concerned parties of the expected time period for completion of the required action when exceptional circumstances do not allow completion within the expected time period.

The following procedures will be used: A. If informal discussions do not result in the

initiation of formal disciplinary procedures, the offending parties may be asked to explain their

conduct or behavior to the reviewing officer at the request of the complainant.

CIVIL RIGHTS--HARASSMENT AND BULLYING

B. Formal complaints shall be presented in writ-ing to the principal/designee. The complaint should include a specific statement of the al-leged behavior, including (if possible) addi-tional background details such as time, date, location, and circumstance of each alleged in-cident.

C. The principal/designee shall make an initial determination of the complaint which shall in-clude investigating the complaint, notifying the person who has been accused of harassment, intimidation or bullying permitting a response to the allegation, arranging a meeting, and re-sponding to the complaint. Since the district takes these complaints seriously, they will be subject to immediate review and investigation. The director of human resources will be called immediately when a complaint has been filed. Every effort will be made to complete this initial review within fifteen (15) calendar days after the complaint has been received. The princi-pal/designee shall give a written report to the complainant after the completion of the initial review.

D. If any party is not satisfied with the report of the principal/designee, a written appeal may be submitted to the Superintendent of Schools/designee indicating the nature of the disagree-ment. The appeal must be filed within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of the princi-pal/designee’s answer. The Superintendent of Schools/designee shall schedule a meeting of all parties to the complaint to review the issues presented in the appeal.

The Superintendent of Schools/designee shall provide a written response outlining the find-ings and disposition of the appeal within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the appeal is filed or ten (10) calendar days after the meet-ing, whichever is later.

E. If either party is not satisfied with the decision on the appeal, the party may file a request for formal review by the Board of Education. The appeal must be filed within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the prior decision. The Board shall conduct a hearing within thirty (30) calen-dar days of the request for formal review of the prior decision.

F. If either party is not satisfied with the decision of the Board of Education, the party may pur-sue further review by filing a request with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction un-der the statutes, rules, and procedures appli-cable to the Department of Public Instruction.

G. Judicial review of decisions is as provided in Chapter 227 of Wisconsin Statutes.

OFFICIAL NOTICES


Why collect data on race and ethnicity?

The standards are part of federal education reports that districts and states submit to receive federal funds. Race and ethnicity have always been col-lected and reported to the U.S. Department of Edu-cation. The reports are required for federal eligibility and accountability reports. The Office for Civil Rights collects data to assist with its enforcement of laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race and national origin.

How is the data going to be collected?

The data will be collected in a 2 part question for-mat. Both parts are to be answered for students and staff. The designations, according to the federal Of-fice of Management and Budget are:

Part One: Is this person Hispanic or Latino? (Must choose one)

• Hispanic or Latino • Not Hispanic or Latino

Part Two: Select one or more of the following catego-ries that apply to this person.

• American Indian or Alaska Native • Asian • Black or African American • Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander • White

Is it required to answer both questions?

Yes, it is required to answer both parts of the ques-tion. If both parts are not answered by the parents or students, the district will be responsible for complet-ing both parts of the question.

How will DPI report race and ethnicity to the federal government?

Regardless of the race combinations of individuals, each individual must be reported in exactly one of the following race and ethnicity categories:

• Hispanic of any race • American Indian or Alaska Native • Asian • Black or African American • Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander • White • Two or more races

Are districts required to re-identify all students and staff? DPI strongly recommends that districts give all stu-dents and staff the opportunity to re-identify them-selves. Students and staff should be given a window of opportunity by the fall of 2010 to re-identify their race and ethnicity.

How will schools/districts collect the race and eth-nicity if parents or students choose not to provide the information? The U.S. Department of Education encourages self-reporting by parents or students. However if they choose not to report, school or district personnel should provide the information. The completion or non-completion of the race/ethnicity data on an enrollment form should never prevent any child from enrolling in a school/district.How will schools/districts collect race and ethnicity if staff chooses not to provide the information? The U.S. Department of Education also encourages self-reporting by staff. However if they choose not to report, an administrator of the school such as the principal should make the determination.

RACE AND ETHNICITY DATA COLLECTION FAQOn the following pages you will see information and a data collection form related to race and ethnicity. Please read the material and, should you desire, complete these forms for our reporting to the federal government.

STUDENT USE OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION DEVICESStudents shall be permitted to use electronic de-vices on school premises and at school-sponsored activities under the following conditions:

1. Student use of electronic communication devices is permitted only before and after the school day except as otherwise noted. The “school day” includes the full period of time between the beginning of the first class and the end of the last class of the day.

2. Students who bring electronic devices to school are not to use them during

the school day unless given permission.

3. Students who bring electronic devices to school do so with the responsibility of main-taining their safekeeping and risk of loss or possible theft.

4. The use of electronic devices to take photo-graphs or to receive or transport video imag-es is prohibited at all times in locker rooms, restrooms, and other similar private areas.

5. Students who violate electronic device rules may be subject to having their “electronic

device” searched, if deemed necessary, by school administration.

Students who use an electronic device in violation of this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with established district and school procedures up to and including expulsion.

Students shall be informed of this policy and corre-sponding consequences annually through the stu-dent handbook.

REFERENDUM UPDATE: TECHNOLOGY With the passing of the referendum in April we have been able to improve technology throughout our building. Through the replacement and addition of outdated servers and switches and the installation of a new wireless network we have improved connectivity of electronic devices (iPads and Chromebooks) and increased upload and download speeds. Security is enhanced through the addition of new cameras allowing for more inclusive views of our campus. Thank you for helping us improve safety, security and ef-ficiency in our schools.

MEDIA RELEASE REQUESTParents/Guardians, please note: During the course of your student(s) enrollment in the School District of Glenwood City, there arise many occasions for photo opportunities such as awards, athletic events, classroom activities and etc. These photos may then be used to recognize students and inform families of school activities in the district news-letter or other school publications. Students will receive a form during open house or on the first day of school granting or denying permission to have name and/or photo published. This form will also include an acknowledgement that you have read and agree to the rules, procedures and guidelines presented in the student/parent handbook and the Technology Education Access to the Internet Policy (363.2).

TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION ACCESS TO THE INTERNET

The School District of Glenwood City Board of Educa-tion recognizes its responsibility to assist students in expanding their knowledge and use of technology in their day-to-day classroom instruction. The Internet is an electronic network connecting computer networks and individual users all over the world. Access to the

Internet will allow students to explore the rich resources of university libraries, governmental databases and oth-er on-line sources while exchanging electronic mail with Internet users throughout the world. The Board realizes the need for students to receive instruction on the prop-er use of the Internet and explore ways to utilize this information to enhance their learning and knowledge.

It shall be the policy of the School District of Glenwood City to provide access to the Internet for educational

and school business purposes. The Board recognizes the difficulty in monitoring students when using the In-ternet. The Board believes appropriate use will be en-hanced through staff supervision and proper training of staff members and students.

The administration will be responsible for implementing and enforcing the Internet and Computer Network Rules and Regulations for the School District of Glenwood City.

OFFICIAL NOTICES

STUDENT RECORDSOccasionally a question comes up regarding what kind of student record information can be released as public information. This section will explain what kind of information can be released, to whom, and what rights the parent or student has in this area and serves as public notice regarding the release of directory information.

There is a Federal and State law (S.118.125(1)(16) that states what the responsibilities are for school districts when dealing with requests for student information. Parents of minors or adult students may give permission for schools to release certain information to non-educational institutions or individuals. This information is called directory information and is specified in the law as the student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, level of education, weight and height of members of athletic teams, photographs, degrees, awards received, and most recent school attended with dates of attendance. The law requires that before the directory information can be released, there must be a public notice of the categories of information designated as directory with enough time for parents and/or students to object. The policy of the Glenwood City Schools is to release directory information according to the law for all students except where an objection has been received from the parent or adult student. Parents or adult students must communicate, in writing, their objection to this policy to the building principal by September 15. Federal and State law also provides the following rights for adult students, parents, or guardians.

• Inspect and review records by notifying the Records Custodian in writing one workday prior to the inspection date.• Seek amendment of the record for inaccurate information. Amendment requests need to be submitted in writing to

the Records Custodian.• File a complaint with Family Policy Compliance Office of the U.S. Dept. of Education.• There are several other parts of the law pertaining to who has access to non-directory information. Interested persons

may contact the high school guidance counselor at 265-4266 for more information.

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires that schools provide military recruiters access to students and student recruit-ing information, unless an objection is on file. Parents or adult students must submit, in writing, to the building principal by September 15 if there is any objection to student access or release of information (see student handbook). If you have ques-tions or would like additional information, please see the student handbook or call Shelly Laffin at 265-4266.

OFFICIAL NOTICES It is the policy of the Board to ensure that homeless children and youth are provided with equal access to its educational programs, have an opportunity to meet the same challenging State of Wisconsin academic standards, are not segregated on the basis of their status as homeless and to establish safeguards that protect homeless students from discrimination on the basis of their homelessness.

Definition of Homeless Children and YouthThe term “homeless children and youth” means individuals who lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence due to economic hardship. It includes children and youths who:

• Are temporarily sharing the housing of other per-sons due to loss of housing, economic hardship or a similar reason

• Are living in motels, hotels or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accom-modations

• Are living in emergency shelters• Are abandoned in hospitals; or are awaiting foster

care placement• Have a nighttime residence that is a public or pri-

vate place not designed for, or ordinarily used as, a regular sleeping accommodation for human be-ings

• Are living in cars, parks, public spaces, aban-doned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations or similar settings

• Are runaways or abandoned

Migratory children and unaccompanied youth (youth not in the physical custody of a parent or guardian) may be consid-ered homeless if they meet the above definition. Homeless status is determined in cooperation with parents or, in the case of unaccompanied youth, the local educa-tional agency liaison and/or through direct contact with Glenwood City District staff.

Procedure – School SelectionPlacement in a school shall, according to the child’s best interest:

• Continue the child’s or youth’s education in the school of origin for the duration of homelessness, in any case in which a family becomes homeless between academic years or during an academic year, or for the duration of the academic year, if the child or youth becomes permanently housed during an academic year

• Enroll the child or youth in any school that non-homeless students who live in the attendance area in which the child or youth is actually living are eligible to attend

In determining the best interests of the child or youth, to the extent feasible the child or youth will be kept in the school of origin for the duration of home-lessness, except when doing so is contrary to the wishes of the child’s or youth’s parent or guardian,.

In the case of unaccompanied children and youth, the school district homeless liaison will assist in placement or enrollment decisions considering the requests of such un-accompanied youth. The school of origin means the school that the child or youth attended when permanently housed, or the school in

which the child or youth was last enrolled. The choice regarding placement shall be made regardless of whether the child or youth lives with the homeless par-ents or guardian or has been temporarily placed elsewhere.

School selection may be documented through direct con-tact with School District of Glenwood City staff.

EnrollmentThe school selected shall immediately enroll the child/youth, even if the child or youth lacks records normally re-quired for enrollment. Records will immediately be request-ed from the previous school.

The terms “enroll” and “enrollment” are defined to mean attending school and participating fully in school activities.

ResidencyA homeless child or youth is a resident if the child is person-ally (physically?) present somewhere within the district with a purpose to remain but not necessarily to remain perma-nently.

The child or youth shall be considered a resident when liv-ing with a parent, guardian or person in loco parentis not solely for school purposes or for participation in extra cur-ricular activities.

Homeless students who do not live with their parents or guardians may enroll themselves in school.

GuardianshipFor purposes of school placement, any parent, guardian or person in loco parentis who has legal or physical custody of a homeless child or youth shall enroll that child or youth directly in a Glenwood City school.

Once a child or youth is enrolled in and attending a school, the Homeless Referral form should be completed within a reasonable period of time for those children or youth who are not accompanied by a parent or guardian, if possible.

Comparable ServicesEach homeless child or youth shall be provided services comparable to services offered to other students in the school selected, such as:

• Preschool programs• Transportation services• Educational services for which the child or youth

meets eligibility criteria such as ESL or special education programs

• Programs for “At Risk” students• Programs for gifted and talented students• School nutrition programs• Title I services• Before and/or after school programs

TransportationAt the request of the parent, or in the case of an unaccom-panied youth, the local agency liaison or designee, trans-portation will be provided for homeless children and youth to the school of origin or school of attendance area, for the duration of homelessness. Transportation costs are the shared responsibility of the two school districts.

Once permanent housing is found, the family has a choice to stay in the school they are attending, school of origin or

attend the school where they have found housing.

Permanent housing is defined as any signed lease or long-term approved living situation. Self-paying day to day in a motel is not considered permanent housing.

In the case where the school of origin and current perma-nent residence are different LEA’s, the family is responsible for transportation through the end of the school year.

Local Educational Agency Homeless LiaisonThe Local Educational Agency Homeless Liaison or desig-nee shall ensure that:

• Homeless children and youths are identified by school personnel and through coordination with other entities and agencies

• Homeless children and youth enroll in and have a full and equal opportunity to succeed in schools in the district

• Homeless families, children, and youth receive educational services for which they are eligible and referrals to other appropriate services

• The parents or guardians of a homeless child and any unaccompanied homeless youth are informed of the educational and related opportunities avail-able to them and are provided with meaningful opportunities to participate in the education of the child/youth.

• Public notice of the educational rights of home-less children and youths is disseminated in such public places as schools, meal sites, shelters and other locations frequented by low income families.

• Compliance with all policies and procedures is met and shall mediate enrollment disputes

• The parents or guardians of a homeless child or youth or unaccompanied youth, are informed of all transportation services, including transporta-tion to the school of origin or to the school that is selected.

• Coordination of services between the Glenwood City School District and other homeless family service providers is carried out

• Assistance is provided to children and youth who do not have immunizations, or immunization or medical records, to obtain necessary immuniza-tions, or immunization or medical records

• Students are not segregated as being homeless• Programs for homeless students are coordinated

with other federal and local programs

Disputes If a dispute arises over school selection or enrollment in a school, the child or youth shall be immediately admitted to the school in which enrollment is sought, pending resolu-tion of the dispute. The Local Educational Homeless Liaison shall assist the parent, guardian or unaccompanied youth with the dis-pute process as expeditiously as possible after receiving the notice of the dispute. Any dispute will follow local griev-ance procedures as outlined by the school district. Appeals will go to the District Superintendent. The par-ent or guardian of the child or youth, or unaccompanied youth shall be provided with a written explanation of the ap-pealed decision regarding school selection or enrollment, including the rights of the parent, guardian or youth to ap-peal the decision to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

Destination ImaginationBy Diane Nelson, DI Coordinator

What is Destination Imagination? Destination Imagination (DI) is an interna-tional, educational program that gives kids an amazing outlet for their creativity, while teach-ing them leadership, teamwork, positive think-ing, project management and much more. Teams of 2 to 7 kids from 3rd grade through university level solve one of six open-ended Challenges (Scientific, Structural, Fine Arts, Service Learning, Improvisation, or Technical) in their own unique ways, and present their solutions at regional tournaments in March. Teams also solve an on-the-spot Instant Chal-lenge at the tournaments, where they must think quickly on their feet and work together to solve a problem in around five minutes. There’s even a non-competitive Rising Stars category for ages K-2nd grade. Winners ad-

vance to the Affiliate (state) Tournament, and winners at the Affiliate Tournament move on to Global Finals to compete against more than 1,400 teams from around the world. What is the time commitment for students and adults?Teams meet at their own convenience with an adult volunteer Team Manager. Team Man-agers are given a Roadmap resource to guide them as they lead the team. Teams usually meet through the winter months for about an hour and a half each week, with time com-mitment increasing for extra practice and preparation time as they draw closer to tour-nament, much like other competitive teams.

When will teams begin?Hopefully teams can be formed by October and can begin meeting at least by early No-vember. Any adult willing to be a team man-ager should contact Diane Nelson. After adults are in place, team members will be recruited. Mrs. Nelson can be contacted at 715-265-4266 or [email protected].

More Information?Please contact Mrs. Nelson if you just want more information or have questions. More information can also be found at destination-imagination.org.

100 Mile Club Challenge~Submitted by Betsy Haltinner During the 2015-16 school year, the Glenwood City School District will participate in the nationally ac-claimed 100 Mile Club! It is an exciting way to add physical fitness and goal setting into the daily lives of the students. The mission statement of the club is: “The 100 Mile Club provides the opportunity to run or walk 100 miles at school during a single school year which improves school readiness to learn, creates bet-ter educational outcomes, building self-esteem and

overall health in the lives of children and others.” A special education teacher in California, Kara Lubin, was inspired by the 1992 Olympics to create the 100 Mile Club to inspire her hard-to-motivate students. That year the 100 Mile Club was born from a simple idea, run 100 miles and earn a gold medal. Incentives are given along the way at certain mile markers such as 25, 50 and 75 miles. The success of all students is celebrated! It can be modified to fit the needs of all children. The goal is to inspire students to want to

keep fitness in their lives now and into adulthood. There will be more information available at our back to school open house/orientation on Aug. 31 and an op-portunity to sign your student up for the program. You can also check out the website at: 100mileclub.com. If you have any questions, please call the elementary office or email Barb Rasmussen at: [email protected]. We are looking forward to offering this ex-citing new fitness program at our school.

We have a new and improved playground for 2015/16. The school district and the GCE PTC have been very busy renovating and remodel-ing our playground. Improvements include the addition of three new play sets and a sandbox. The group has also painted and stained old equip-ment, replaced boarder timbers, and improved overall landscape. A special thank you to Beth and Steve Davis for managing the project, the

GCSD custodial crew for instal-lation of the new equipment, GCSD Admin-istration and school board, and the GCE PTC, without their support this project could not have evolved.
