Bullying PolicyThe Verona Area School District strives to

provide a safe, secure and respectful learning environment for all students in school build-ings, on school grounds, in school buses and at school-sponsored activities.

Bullying has a harmful social, physical, psychological and academic impact on bullies, victims and bystanders. The District shall consistently and vigorously address bullying so that there is no disruption to the learning environment and learning process.

Bullying behavior is prohibited in all schools, buildings, property and educational environ-ments, including any property or vehicle owned, leased or used by the District. This includes public transportation regularly used by stu-dents to go to and from school. Educational environments include, but are not limited to, every activity under school supervision.

“Bullying” is defined as deliberate or inten-tional behavior using words or actions, intend-ed to cause fear, intimidation or harm.

der; gender identity; sexual orientation; physi-cal attributes; physical or mental ability or dis-ability; and social, economic or family status.

All school staff members and school officials who observe or become aware of acts of bully-ing are required to report these acts to the building principal or designee in accordance with established procedures. Reports of bul-lying may be made verbally or in writing and may be made confidentially. All such reports, whether verbal or in writing, will be taken seriously and a clear account of the incident is to be documented. A written record of the report, including all pertinent details, will be made by the principal or design of the report.

After receiving the report, the building prin-cipal or designee will immediately undertake an investigation of the report. The investigation shall include interviewing the individual(s) who are victim(s) of the bullying and collecting what-ever other information is necessary to determine the facts and seriousness of the report. Parent/and or guardians of each student involved in the bullying will be notified prior to the conclusion of the investigation. The District will maintain the confidentiality of the report and any related student records to the extent required by law.

17 Years of Experience!

Superintendent’S GreetinGDear VASD parents, guardians and students,

Welcome to the 2016 - 2017 school year! The entire staff of the Verona Area School District (VASD) from teachers to support staff, food service, custodians, administrators and Board of Education is complete-ly committed to making this the best educational experience in the state of Wisconsin for all of our nearly 5400 students. We’re all excited to have students back and to get going with this school year.

This year promises to be an excit-ing and event filled year for VASD students and staff. Let me highlight a few of the many things to expect this school year:

iPad role out - In April, the Board of Education approved the 4-year lease of 5,500 iPads so that each and every VASD student, K-12, will have their own iPad. Providing equal access to technol-ogy for all students has long been a goal of the Board and we’re so pleased to be able to realize this goal. The lease agreement with Apple Inc. for these iPads is being funded by the money the District will receive as a result of the closeout of the Epic TIF. You can expect to see those iPads rolling out in September and October.

Personalized learning - In April of 2013, the Board of Education approved the audacious goal that every student in

VASD would have a personalized learning plan. This goal includ-ed the following:

Every student in VASD has a personalized learning plan that pro-vides a path to discovery and achievement and that plan is reviewed and changed at least annually based on the student’s needs.

Every student’s parent, guardian or advocate participates directly in the design, implementation, and outcomes of that stu-dent’s personalized learning plans.

Every student meets or exceeds the goals of his or her person-alized learning plan every school year.

Every VAHS student graduates.

Every VAHS graduate achieves their choice of college and career path, as detailed in their personalized learning plan.

A great deal of work on building the necessary technology infrastructure and staff training has occurred since the Board adopted this goal. We as a staff continue to work toward imple-mentation of personalized learning plans in 2018. We have come a very long way in this pursuit and we have a long road ahead of us to reach full implementation.

April, 2017 referendum to renovate and/or build new school(s). Our school district has seen significant growth over the last ten years and projections for the next 15 years predict a stu-dent enrollment growth of nearly 1,700 additional students above our current enrollment. This growth will push nearly all of our existing schools beyond their capacity. The Board of Education and Administration has been actively engaged in a thorough

study of our existing facilities and enrollment projections and has engaged the community in workshops gathering additional information about options and choices regarding future schools. To assist the Board further, a community-wide survey will be sent to all VASD residents in early fall. This survey will serve to inform the public of options the Board is considering and provide an opportunity for every resident to provide feedback.

We invite you to check us out on our website, www.verona.12.wi.us, on Facebook or Twitter. We have a lot of information about our schools easily accessible to you. Lastly, know that there is a standing invitation to all members of our school district to call or email me or any district staff with questions you may have regarding your child or about any school district operation. My contact information can be found below.

The Verona Area School District is an outstanding school dis-trict because of the commitment, hard work and sacrifice of the entire staff and community. We are absolutely committed to give each and every child that passes through our schoolhouse doors our best. Working together with families and the community, we can make this the best school district in Wisconsin. We need each of you to contribute to that success. Please join us in this work.

Best wishes for an exciting and rewarding school year. Thank you continuing to make learning the most important endeavor in your child’s life.

Kindest regards,

Dean Gorrell, Superintendent 608-845-4310 (Office)

Sugar CreekSugar Creek Elementary School will welcome approximately

490 students back to school on Thursday, September 1st!

Home-School CommunicationsOur website is an excellent source for information about

Sugar Creek. Go to www.verona.k12.wi.us and click on “Sugar Creek” in the “Our Schools” drop down menu to learn more about our excellent school! Sugar Creek families all receive frequent and on-going information, communications, and updates from the principal through SchoolMessenger.

Kindergarten InformationKindergarten families will have a pre-scheduled hour block

of time on Thursday, September 1st, 2016, to meet the teachers, have questions answered, and drop off supplies. The first full day of school for Kindergarten students will be on Friday, September 2nd.

First Day of SchoolAll elementary children should report directly to the class-

room to which they have been assigned. Students may enter the building after the first bell at 7:35 a.m. Classes begin at 7:45 a.m. and end at 2:35 p.m.

Student AbsencesAttendance and tardies for Sugar Creek students are closely

monitored. Attendance is taken at 7:45 each morning. We ask that parents call 845-4700 before the start of school to inform Sugar Creek if your child will be absent or tardy.

Behavioral ManagementSugar Creek has been recognized by the State of Wisconsin as

a Positive Behavior Intervention Systems (PBIS) School of Merit. PBIS is a process of teaching and supporting students and staff to follow four basic school-wide expectations:

1. Be Kind and Respectful

2. Be Responsible

3. Be a Problem Solver

4. Be Safe

Families can play a large role in advancing the positive behaviors of our students by reinforcing the same school-wide expectations at home. Bedtime, meals, playtime, or trips to the

store are all great opportunities to apply the same concepts. Engaging children in conversations about what is going well at school, talking about how celebrations are being enjoyed, or talking about what strategies your learner used to solve a problem are all great ways to make the home-school connection around positive behavior. We will continue to keep par-ents informed and partner with parents on behavioral management so all stu-dents are safe and achieving high levels of academic success.

Parental Rights to Seek Information Regarding

Staff QualificationsFederal law requires schools to share information with

parents regarding the qualifications of teachers employed by the school district. Among the questions that parents may ask are:

• Is my child’s teacher licensed to teach the grades or subjects assigned?

• What was the college major of my child’s teacher?

• What degrees does my child’s teacher hold?

• Are there instructional aides working with my child? If so, what are their qualifications?

All teachers employed by the Verona Area School District (VASD) have at least a bachelor’s degree, and approximately 75 percent have a Master’s degree or equivalent. In addition, all of the teachers are DPI licensed for their assignment. Finally, all instructional aides are employed by VASD are considered qualified for their work assignments.

Stoner PrairieWhen Stoner Prairie

Elementary School opens on Thursday, September 1st, we expect to welcome approximately 400 students.

School HoursSchool hours are 9:10 a.m.-2:35

p.m. on Mondays and 7:30 a.m.-2:35 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.

All students may report to the classroom to which they have been assigned at 9:10 a.m. on Mondays and at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday through Friday. Arrival before

7:30 A.M. is discouraged due to lack of supervision and out of respect for staff planning time. Class lists identifying teachers and their students will be notified via email.

Kindergarten InformationA first day introduction for Stoner Prairie kindergarten stu-

dents will take place on Thursday, September 1st. The kinder-garten students and their parents/guardians will be able to meet the kindergarten teachers and bring in their supplies. The first day of regular classes for kindergarten students will be Friday, September 2nd. A letter detailing the introduction time for Thursday, September 1, was mailed at the beginning of August to all families whose child has been registered for kindergarten. Families are invited to call the Stoner Prairie office at 845-4205 or 845-4206 with questions or to register if still necessary.

Student AbsenceAttendance for students at the elementary schools is carefully

monitored. Roll call is taken immediately each morning. Parents are required to call before 8:00 a.m. to inform the school if their child is going to be absent or tardy. Messages about absences may be left at any time at 845-4203. This call provides assur-ance that all children are safe either at home or at school. If we do not receive a call reporting an absence, the school secretary will attempt to call the parent or guardian to confirm the child’s whereabouts. If no contact is made with parents, the absence will be recorded as unexcused.

NEW THIS YEAR: Online Bus Route SearchIn order to improve communications for families who utilize

bus transportation, the Verona Area School District is working in partnership with Badger Bus on a new website feature that permits families to find bus route/stops, stop times and neighborhood school locations. THIS WEBSITE IS IN DEVELOPMENT MODE and will continue to be updated and improved by Badger Bus as they get feedback directly from families using it. Visit the school district website at www.verona.k12.wi.us/Student_Transportation to access the new site and please direct any questions to Badger Bus at 608-310-4869 or [email protected].

Country View ElementaryEveryday you are building a masterpiece

and that masterpiece is YOU!Country View staff members have been growing their skills and

knowledge over the summer through participation in a variety of professional development opportunities offered through the district. Many of our staff members have participated in training includ-ing Nurtured Heart, Restorative Practices, Non-Violent Crisis Intervention, Universal Design for Learning, 5Ws of Personalized Learning and other PL courses, as well as team planning with our new K-5 Math program. We are ready to welcome the children!

Along with academic skills, we want our children to devel-op a mindset for success. We believe every child has positive attributes and vast potential. We refer to this as “recognizing greatness,” and we will continue to build our greatness in the areas of persistence, cooperation, respect, reflection, generosity, self-control, creativity, and courage. These greatness attributes or habits of mind will help our children be successful in our ever-changing world.

All families should have completed the VASD on-line reg-istration process. It is very important that we have up-to-date information for all of our students. If you have not yet registered, please refer to the instructions you received in the mail in early August or contact the school office.

Please note the following important dates for Country View families:

• DROP-IN & STUDENT PICTURE DAY - TUESDAY, AUGUST 30 (4:00 pm – 6:00 pm): All K-5 students and families are invited to stop by Country View to visit with classmates, meet the teachers, and see the school. Student photos will also be taken during this time. Every student should have his/her photo taken for the yearbook. Purchasing a photo package is optional. NEW THIS YEAR: We will have a variety of Madison-area Food Trucks on-site should your family choose to enjoy a picnic dinner or snack. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Country View Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO).

• FIRST DAY of SCHOOL: Thursday, September 1 is the first day of school for students in grades 1 – 5. The doors will open at 7:35 am and the day ends at 2:35 pm.

• PARENT-TEACHER ORGANIZATION (PTO): The first PTO meeting of the year will be held on Tuesday, September 6 at 6:30 pm in the Country View LMC. Our PTO provides many special opportunities for students, staff, and families. Volunteers are always needed, and you are encouraged to attend the meeting to learn more about PTO.

Notice of Nondiscrimination PolicyStudent Nondiscrimination

It is the policy of the Verona Area School District that no person may be denied admission to any public school in this district or be denied participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be discriminat-ed against in any curricular, extracurricular, pupil services, rec-reational or other program or activity because of the persons’ sex, race, religion, national origin, ancestry, creed, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual orientation or physical, mental, emotion-al or learning disability as required by s.118.13, Wis. Stats.

This policy also prohibits discrimination as defined by Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 (sex), Title VI of Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race, color, and national origin), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (disability), McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (homelessness).

All vocational education programs follow the district’s policies of nondiscrimination. In addition, arrangements can be made to ensure that the lack of English language skills is not a barrier to admission or participation.

The district encourages informal resolution of complaints under this policy. A formal complaint resolution procedure is available, however, to address allegations of violations of the policy in the Verona Area School District.

Any questions concerning s.118.13, Wis. Stats., or Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimina-tion should be directed to Ann Franke, the Equity Coordinator, at the following address and phone number: Ann Franke Director of Instruction, Verona Area School District, 700 N. Main Street, Verona, Wisconsin 53593, 608-845-4311.

Inquiries related to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, should be directed to Erin Schettler, the Section 504 compliance Officer, at the following address and phone number: Erin Schettler, Director of Student Services, Verona Area School District, 700 N. Main Street, Verona, Wisconsin 53593, 608-845-4314.

If any person believes that the Verona Area School District or any part of the school organization has failed to follow the law and rules of s.118.13, Wis. Stats., Title VI, Title IX, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or in some way discriminates against pupils on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, national origin, ances-try, creed, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual orientation or physical, mental, or emotional or learning disability, he/she may bring or send a complaint to the Administration Office at the follow-ing address: 700 N. Main Street, Verona, Wisconsin 53593.

Step 1: A written statement of the complaint shall be pre-pared by the complainant and signed. This complaint shall be presented to the district employee designated to receive com-plaints. That employee shall send written acknowledge of receipt of the complaint within 45 days.

Step 2: A written determination of the complaint shall be made by the board within 90 days of receipt of the complaint

unless the parties agree to an extension of time: appeals under 20 USC s.145 and Ch. 115, Wis. Stats., relating to the identifica-tion, evaluation, educational placement or the provision of a free appropriate public education of a child with an exceptional educa-tional need shall be resolved through the procedures authorized by Ch. 115, Subch. V., Wis. Stats.

Complaints under 20 USC s.1231e-3 and 34 CFR ss.76.780-76.782, commonly referred to as EDGAR complaints, that the state or a sub-grantee is violating a federal statute or regulation that applies to a program shall be referred directly to the state superintendent.

Step 3: If a complainant wishes to appeal a negative determi-nation by the board, he/she has the right to appeal the decision to the state superintendent within 30 days of the board’s decision. In addition, the complainant may appeal directly to the state superintendent if the board has not provided written acknowl-edgment within 45 days of receipt of the complaint or made a determination within 90 days of receipt of the written complaint. Appeals should be addressed to Sate Superintendent, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, 125 South Webster Street, P.O. Box 7841, Madison, Wisconsin 53707.

Step 4: Discrimination complaints on some of the above bases may also be filed with the federal government at the Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education, 300 South Wacker Drive, 8th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

There shall be no retaliation against any person who in good faith files a complaint under this policy.

NOTE: The s.118.13 complaint procedure does not apply to district employees or job applications. Also, it does not replace the federal regulations that require a school district to have Title IX and Section 504 complaint procedures.

Equal Opportunity Employer The Verona Area School District is an equal opportunity

employer.

Savanna Oaks Middle SchoolBack to School Night

Our first opportunity for fami-lies and Savanna Oaks staff to be together will be Tuesday, August 30th from 4 – 7pm. During this time there will be presentations for students and families as well as the opportunity to try out lockers, meet staff and reacquaint with friends.

First Day of SchoolSavanna Oaks’ first day of school

will be Thursday, September 1st for sixth graders and students new to our school. This day provides our newest scholars with an opportunity to acquaint themselves to Savanna Oaks. (Translators: note deleted info) Students and parents of sev-enth and eighth grade students are welcome to stop in to introduce themselves to teachers on this day and may drop off materials/supplies and organize their lockers. Please refer to 7th and 8th grade team messages for specifics.

The first day of school for all students will be Friday, September 2nd. All students will begin with their Advisory class. Students may

refer to their schedules for their teacher and room number. Schedules will be available on line in mid August and a current copy will be distributed to each student in Advisory. Advisory classroom assignments for all students will be available as stu-dents enter the building.

Please note the time of the middle school day: 8:30 a.m. – 3:33 p.m. Late Starts are NOT every Monday. Please refer to our web-site calendar for dates. Our building opens for students at 8am, it is at this time that the front doors will be unlocked and students may gather in the commons and have breakfast if they choose.

Savanna Oaks Website (www.soms.verona.k12.wi.us)

A live calendar of school events, which is reliably kept up-to-date, is available on the web. Family resources such as attendance contacts, academic progress monitoring sites, and information about learning activities can be found on the site. Students will find a portal for their grade level team and this will include information about courses, teachers, events and learning activities. Our library is also an active link and a route to even more learning resources.

Please keep in mind that we communicate with our families using SchoolMessenger and our primary means of communica-tion is electronic. If another route is better for you (paper, tex-ting, phone calls, etc.) please let your student’s Advisory teacher know and we’ll try to accommodate.

Student AbsencesIf your child will be absent from school, we ask parents to call

the Attendance Hotline (845-4003) by 9:00 a.m. and leave a mes-sage regarding the absence. When your child returns to school, if you have not phoned in, please send a note explaining the absence. If your child has received medical attention, please send a note and/or doctor’s excuse explaining the reason for absence.

Student Progress ReportingStudent progress can be monitored on PowerSchool at VASD Website/Quicklinks/Parent Resources/PowerSchool

Parent Access as well as other web based sites as defined by each student’s

team of teachers. Student/parent access codes for PowerSchool as well as other ways to follow progress are available for every family.

The foundation of assessment at Savanna Oaks is demon-stration of mastery of course standards. We will communicate quarterly in a Student Progress Report both Habits of Learning ratings as well as progress in mastering standards. Our progress reports describe standards that were attempted and the degree of success to date on each. Traditional letter grades are also asso-ciated to the four levels of mastery (Exceeds Mastery, Mastery, Near Mastery or Beginning Level). This allows families who want a quick and familiar look at the grade report to stay informed.

Extra-Curricular ActivitiesMiddle school offers a wide variety of opportunities outside

the traditional school day such as clubs, activities and ath-letics. These include: Cross Country (September), Volleyball (September), Wrestling (November-December), Basketball-boys (Nov-Dec), Basketball-girls (Jan-Feb.), Ski Club (January and February) Track (April-May), Drama Club (fall to spring), Forensics (Jan-Feb), Student Council (all year), All-School Musical (Feb-May), Math Club (Nov-April.) and more as stu-dents and staff dream them up! Daily announcements and the SOMS website keep everyone informed as to how to join.

Savanna Oaks Middle School StaffThe Savanna Oaks faculty and staff have a wealth of expe-

rience in learning with middle school students. We continue our commitment to supporting our learners in setting personal goals and moving toward mastery. We have seen impressive evidence that when learners are given voice and choice, their engagement empowers their learning.

However, the Verona Area School District may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised our District to the con-trary in accordance with District procedures.

the District Office or at any of the school offices. Forms should be returned to the District Office. Any previous notices on file with the Verona Area School District withholding the disclosure of directory information are now void.

In addition, two federal laws require local educational agen-cies (LEAs) receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to provide military recruiters, upon request, with three directory information catego-ries – names, addresses and telephone listings – unless parents have advised the LEA that they do not want their student’s infor-mation disclosed without their prior written consent.

SBR-Personal Best Swim PracticesThe Coaches at SBR take a scientific approach to coaching and training for swimming. We

believe in providing knowledge, motivation, confidence and support for athletes who want to improve his/her athletic abilities. Swimming is much like golf, it’s all about proper technique and efficiency to complete the skill well and injury free.

We want to encourage any/all levels to join us. Trust us, at any level, you will get the workout and attention you need. We will be on deck working with each of you individually as you complete a swim workout to help you reach your potential. You will learn the basics of swimming, how to improve your skills and become a solid, powerful and efficient swimmer.

This will be a great class for you if you have only spent 10 hours in the pool, or swim 10 hours per week swimming. The goal is for each swimmer to get the most out any time spent in the pool. Confidence is built with having proper attention from a coach, and workouts to help you reach new levels.

Verona Area School District Annual Notice of Special Education Referral and Evaluation ProceduresUpon request, the Verona Area School District is required to eval-

uate a child for eligibility for special education services. A request for evaluation is known as a referral. When the district receives a refer-ral, 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 par-

ents in private (including religious) schools, elementary schools and secondary schools located in the school district.

A physician, nurse, psychologist, social worker, or administrator 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. Before referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child’s parent that the referral will be made.

Others, including parents or guardians, 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 Erin Schettler, Director of Student Services, Verona Area School District, at 608-845-4314, or by writing her at [email protected] or 700 N. Main Street, Verona, WI 53593.

Verona Area School District Confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information Obtained Through Child Find ActivitiesThe Verona Area School District is required to locate, identify,

and evaluate all children, with disabilities, including children with disabilities attending private schools in the school district, and homeless children. The process of locating, identifying, and evaluat-ing children with disabilities is known as child find. Each year, child development days are conducted to allow families the opportunity to talk with qualified professionals about the progress their child is making or to discuss any concerns they have. Additionally, any parent or guardian, qualified health professional, or other person familiar with a child that suspects a disability exists is encouraged to contact Erin Schettler, Director of Student Services.

This notice informs parents of the records the school district will develop and maintain as part of its child find activities. This notice also informs parents of their rights regarding any records developed.

The school district gathers personally identifiable information on any child who participates in child find activities. Parents, teachers, and other professionals provide information to the school related to the child’s academic performance, behavior, and health. This infor-mation is used to determine whether the child needs special educa-tion services. Personally identifiable information directly related to a child and maintained by the school is a pupil record. Pupil records include records maintained in any way including, but not limited to, computer storage media, video and audiotape, film, microfilm, and microfiche. Records maintained for personal use by a teacher and not available to others and records available only to persons involved in the psychological treatment of a child are not pupil records.The school district maintains several classes of pupil records.• “Progress records” include grades, courses the child has taken, the

child’s attendance record, immunization records, required lead screening records, and records of school extra-curricular activities. Progress records must be maintained for at least five years after the child ceases to be enrolled.

• “Behavioral records” include such records as psychological tests, personality evaluations, records of conversations, written statements relating specifically to the pupil’s behavior, tests relating specifically to achievement or measurement of ability, physical health records other than immunization and lead screening records, law enforcement officers’ records, and other pupil records that are not “progress records.” Law enforcement officers’ records are maintained separately from other pupil records. Behavioral records may be maintained for no longer than one year after the child graduates or otherwise ceases to be enrolled, unless the parent specifies in writing that the records may be maintained for a longer period of time. The school district informs parents when pupil records are no longer needed to provide special

education. At the request of the child’s parents, the school district destroys the information that is no longer needed.

• “Directory data” includes the student’s name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, photographs, degrees and awards received, and the name of the school most recently previously attended by the student.

• “Pupil physical health records” include basic health information about a pupil, including the pupil’s immunization records, an emergency medical card, a log of first aid and medicine administered to the pupil, an athletic permit card, a record concerning the pupil’s ability to participate in an education program, any required lead screening records, the results of any routine screening test, such as for hearing, vision or scoliosis, and any follow-up to the test, and any other basic health information, as determined by the state superintendent. Any pupil record relating to a pupil’s physical health that is not a pupil physical health record is treated as a patient health care record under sections 146.81 to 146.84, Wisconsin Statutes. Any pupil record concerning HIV testing is treated as provided under section 252.15, Wisconsin Statutes.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and section 118.125, Wisconsin Statutes, afford parents, guard-ians, and students over 18 years of age (“eligible students”) the following rights with respect to education records:

• The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of receipt of the request. Parents, guardians, or eligible students should submit to the school principal [or appropriate school official] a written request that identifies the records(s) they wish to inspect. The principal will make arrangements for access and notify the parent, guardian, or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. The school district will comply with the request without unnecessary delay and before any meeting about an individualized education program, or any due process hearing, and in no case more than 45 days after the request has been made. If any record includes information on more than one child, the parents or guardians of those children have the right to inspect and review only the information about their child or to be informed of that specific information. Upon request, the school district will give a parent, guardian, or eligible student a copy of the progress records and a copy of the behavioral records. Upon request, the school district will give the parent, guardian, or eligible student a list of the types and locations of education records collected, maintained, or used

by the district for special education. The school district will respond to reasonable requests for explanations and interpretations of the records. A representative of the parent or guardian may inspect and review the records.

• The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Parents or eligible students may ask the Verona Area School District to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the school principal, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the district decides not to amend the record, the district will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and the right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.

• The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information in the student’s education records, except to the extent that federal and state law authorize disclosure without consent. The exceptions are stated in 34 CFR 99.31, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act regulations; Sec. 9528, PL107-110, No Child Left Behind Act of 2001; and section 118.125(2)(a) to (m) and sub. (2m), Wisconsin Statutes. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosures to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the district as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the school board; a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the district discloses education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. Also the district discloses “directory data” without consent, unless the parent notifies the district that it may not be released without prior parental consent.

• The right to file a complaint with the U. S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the District to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Washington, DC 20202-4605.

Federal Laws Regarding Military Recruitment of High School StudentsQ. What does the law say about military recruitment of high

school students?A. Congress has passed two major pieces of legislation that

generally require school districts receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to give military recruiters the same access to secondary school students as they provide to postsecondary institutions or to prospective employ-ers. School districts are also generally required to provide students’ names, addresses, and telephone listings to military recruiters, when requested.

Q. Where are these statutory requirements found?A. These requirements are contained in § 9528 of the ESEA (20

U.S.C. § 7908), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (P.L. no. 107-110), the education bill Congress recently passed.

Q. What are the requirements of § 9528 of the ESEA?A. Each school district that receives funds under the ESEA must

comply with a request by a military recruiter or an institution of higher education for secondary students’ names, addresses, and telephone numbers, unless a parent has “opted out” of providing such information. (See below for additional information.)

Section 9528 also requires school districts that receive funds under the ESEA to provide military recruiters the same access to secondary school students as they generally provide to postsecondary institutions or prospective employers. For example, if the school has a policy of allowing postsecondary institutions or prospective employers to come on school property to provide information to students about educational or professional opportunities, it must afford the same access to military recruiters.

Q. Under §9528 of the ESEA, what notification must school districts provide to parents before disclosing names, addresses, and telephone numbers of secondary students to military recruiters and officials of institutions of higher education?

A. Under FERPA, a school district must provide notice to par-ents of the types of student information that it releases publicly. This type of student information, commonly referred to as “directory information,” includes such items as names, addresses, and tele-phone numbers and is information generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. The notice must include an explanation of a parent’s right to request that the information not be disclosed without prior written consent. Additionally, § 9528 requires that parents be notified that the school routinely discloses

names, addresses, and telephone numbers to military recruiters upon request, subject to a parent’s request not to disclose such information without written consent. A single notice provided through a mailing, a student handbook, or other method that is reasonably calculated to inform parents of the above information is sufficient to satisfy the parental notification requirements of both FERPA and § 9528. The notification must advise the parent of how to opt out of the public, nonconsensual disclosure of directory information and the method and timeline within which to do so.

Q. If a school district has not provided notice relating to “directory information,” may it release a student’s name, address, and telephone number when requested by a military recruiter?

A. As noted above, a school district may provide a single notice regarding both directory information and information disclosed to military recruiters. If a school district does not disclose “directory information” under FERPA, then it must still provide military recruiters access to secondary students’ names, addresses and tele-phone listings. In addition, the school district must notify parents that they may opt out of this disclosure. In other words, a school dis-trict that does not disclose “directory information” must nonetheless provide a notice that it discloses information to military recruiters. The notice must be reasonably calculated to inform parents.

Q. If a parent opts out of the public, nonconsensual disclosure of directory information (or any subset of such information), must the three data elements be released to military recruiters upon their request?

A. If a parent opts out of providing director information to third parties, the opt-out relating to name, address, or telephone number applies to requests from military recruiters as well. For example, if the opt-out states that telephone numbers will not be disclosed to the pub-lic, school may not disclose telephone numbers to military recruiters.

Q. If the school does not list one or more of the three data ele-ments (e.g., telephone number) among its directory information, may it release that information to military recruiters?

Public Release - National School Lunch and Breakfast ProgramsThe Verona Area School District announced its policy for children unable to pay the full price

of meals served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Each school office and the central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party.

The following household size and income criteria will be used for determining eligibility. Children from families whose annual income is at or below the levels shown are eligible for free and reduced price meals.

FAMILY SIZE INCOME SCALE For Determining Eligibility for Free and Reduced Price Meals or Milk

For each additional household member, add + 5,408 + 5,408 and +7,696 + 451 + 451 and + 642

Application forms are being sent to all homes with a notice to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households must fill out the application and return it to the school (unless notified at the start of the school year that children are eligible through direct certifica-tion). Additional copies are available at the office in each school. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by agency or other program officials. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year.

To obtain free or reduced price meals for children in a household where one or more household members receive FoodShare, FDPIR, or Wisconsin Works (W-2) cash benefits, list the household member and the FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 case number, list the names of all school children, sign the application, and return it to the school office.

For the school officials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meals of households not receiving FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 cash benefits, the household must provide the following infor-mation requested on the application: names of all household members and the adult signing the application form must also list the last four digits of his or her Social Security Number or mark the box to the right of “Check if no SSN”. Also, the income received by each household member must be provided by amount and source (wages, welfare, child support, etc.).

Under the provisions of the free and reduced price meal policy the Food Service Director or Food Service Secretary will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he/she may wish to discuss the decision with the deter-mining official on an informal basis. If the parent/guardian wishes to make a formal appeal, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing to: Superintendent, Verona Area School District, 700 North Main Street, Verona, WI 53593, (608) 845-4300.

If a hearing is needed to appeal the decision, the policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure.If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size changes, the family should

contact the school. Such changes may make the household eligible for reduced price meals or free meals if the household income falls at or below the levels shown above, and they may reapply at that time.

Children formally placed in foster care are also eligible for free meal benefits. Foster children may be certified as eligible without a household application. Households with foster children and non-fos-ter children may choose to include the foster child as a household member, as well as any personal income available to the foster child, on the same application that includes their non-foster children.

The information provided by the household on the application is confidential. Public Law 103-448 limits the release of student free and reduced price school meal eligibility status to persons direct-ly connected with the administration and enforcement of federal or state educational programs. Consent of the parent/guardian is needed for other purposes such as waiver of text book fees.

Non-discrimination StatementIn accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil

rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA.

Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program infor-mation (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English.

To file a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, (AD-3027) found online at: http://www.ascr.usda.gov/complaint_filing_cust.html, and at any USDA office, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form.

(2) fax: (202) 690-7442; or

(3) email: [email protected].

This institution is an equal opportunity provider. Any questions regarding the application should be directed to the determining official.

Military Recruitment continued from page 17

A. If a school does not designate one or ore of the three items as “directory information” under FERPA, it still must provide all three items to military recruiters upon request. Also, in that case, the school would have to send a separate notice to parents about the missing “directory information” item(s), noting an opportunity to opt out of disclo-sure of the information to military recruiters. An easier method, of course, would be for the school to designate all three items – name, address, and telephone listing – as “directory information.”

Q. How are the requirements under § 9528 of the ESEA enforced?

A. Schools that do not comply with § 9528 of the ESEA could jeopardize their receipt of ESEA funds.

Q. How does § 544 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 amend the former requirements under 10 U.S.C. § 503?

A. Section 544 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 revises Title 10, Section 503© in several important ways. First, the recruiting provisions now apply only to school districts (including private secondary schools) that receive funds under the ESEA. Second, these provisions now require access by military recruit-ers to students, under certain conditions, and to secondary school students’ names, addresses, and telephone listings. Third, as discussed earlier, they require school districts to notify parents of their right to opt out of the disclosure of their children’s names, addresses, and telephone numbers and to comply with any such requests from the parents or the students.

Q. How are these requirements under 10 U.S.C. § 503 enforced?

A. In addition to the potential for loss of funds under ESEA noted above for failure to comply with § 9528 of the ESEA, a school district that denies a military recruiter access to the requested information on students after July 1, 2002, will be subject to specific interventions under 10 U.S.C. § 503. In this regard, the law requires that a senior military officer (e.g., Colonel or Navy Captain) visit

the school district within 120 days. If the access problem is not resolved with the school district, the Department of Defense must notify the Sate Governor within 60 days. Problems still unresolved after one year are reported to Congress if the Secretary of Defense determines that the school district denies recruiting access to at least two of the armed forces (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, etc.). The expectation is that public officials will work with the school district to resolve the problem.

Additionally, the Department of Defense has developed a national high school data base to docu-ment recruiter access. Presently, 95 percent of the nation’s 22,000 secondary schools provide a degree of access to military recruiters that is consistent with current law.

Q. Are private schools subject to the military recruiter requirements?

A. Private secondary schools that receive funds under the ESEA are subject to 10 U.S.C. § 503. However, private schools that maintain a religious objection to service in the Armed Forces that is verifiable through the corporate or other organiza-tional documents or materials of that school are not required to comply with this law.

Q. Where can I get more information on the requirements of 10 U.S.C. § 503?

A. The Office of the Secretary of Defense may be contacted for copies of the statute, or questions relating to it. Please contact the Accession Policy Directorate as follows: Director, Accession Policy, 400 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-4000. Telephone: (703) 695-5529

Q. Where can I get more information on the requirements of § 9528 of the ESEA?

A. The Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) in the Department of Education admin-isters FERPA as well as § 9528 of the ESEA, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. School officials with questions on this guidance, or FERPA, may contact the FPCO at [email protected] or write to the FPCO as follows: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20202-4605. Telephone: (202) 260-3887, Fax: (202) 260-9001, www.ed.gov/offices/OM/fpco

Child nutritionVerona Area Child Nutrition welcomes you and your family to another school year of healthy and

tasty school meals. An important component of every school day is mealtime when students take a break from their academic schedules and consume important nutrients that will take them through their school day. We provide healthy meal choices while emphasizing fruits and vegetables, whole grains that meet the USDA guidelines. Verona Area Schools has an “offer” rather than a “serve” meal programs. Students are required to take only three of the five food groups for lunch. Lunch includes a protein, vegetable, fruit, whole grain/bread and milk group. The USDA regulations do require that one of the three food group choices on a student’s tray must be a serving of fruit or vegetable. Students are required to take three out of the four food groups for breakfast. Breakfast is available at all of the schools daily. Generally school breakfast will consist of milk, 100% juice and fruit, whole grain and protein. Students who eat breakfast show an increased ability to learn and better academic performance. High school students have access to ala carte items, which features individually priced items such as sandwiches, fresh fruit, yogurt, string cheese, bagels and cream cheese, etc. Ala carte items may not be purchased unless funds are available in their meal accounts.

The Child Nutrition Computerized Lunch System is a family based program. All family members in the District draw from the same account so only one payment is needed per family. It is not a credit system. Accounts need to have a positive balance. Monthly statements will be sent to you electronically if your email is on file. Account balances are also available on line via the Verona Area School District home page. You must have your family account number and pin number to access your balance. Meal payments may be mailed to Child Nutrition Services, P.O. Box 930007, Verona WI 53593. The E-Funds electronic payment system allows you the ability to make payments anytime through the District’s web-site and the funds will be automatically withdrawn from your checking account or charged to your credit card. A convenience fee will be charged for any transactions using Efunds.

The Verona Area School District has a policy for children unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. Each school office and the District office have a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by interested parties. Meal applica-tions are available on line and at each school office. You may contact the Child Nutrition Services Office at 845-4139 or email [email protected].
