As we get ready for another school
year, we are planning a fun and exciting way to raise money for an amazing cause. As members of Esko High
School, we will be hosting our 5th
Annual St. Jude Rally to raise funds
and awareness for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Over the
past four years, the Esko Community
has helped raise more than $62,000
for St. Jude Families, and we have
consistently been ranked one of the
top five fundraising schools in the
nation.
Since opening more than 50
years ago, St. Jude Children’s Re-
search Hospital has changed the way
the world treats childhood cancer
and other life-threatening diseases.
No family ever pays St. Jude for the
care their child receives, and one
child saved at St. Jude, means thousands of children saved worldwide.
Our St. Jude Rally includes
all ages from Pre-K through 12th
grade and will be happening on
October 11, 2013. Please be on the
lookout for more information about
the St. Jude Rally and thank you for
your continued support.

Esko School Readiness Class Information 2013-2014
We are very excited to start the new school year with you and your child. The
following are some FYI’s before classes start.
Open House: August 29th from 6-7:30
This will be a great time to meet staff and have a look around our room.
We will have a scavenger hunt and a few crafts. Please bring your supplies
(except folder and backpack), 3x5 or 4x6 family photo and all paperwork
completed (you will receive this in the mail in August). If you are unable to
attend, please bring these with items with you when you drop off your child
on the first day of school or drop it off at the Community Education Office
after September 6th.
Supplies
All children will need the following items labeled with their first and last
name:
3 ring binder (2-inch or bigger)
2-pocket folder (used for communication between home & school)
Backpack
Spiral Notebook (4’s Classes Only)

2 Big Glue Sticks

School Readiness Start Dates
3’s: September 23rd
4’s: October 2nd
First Day of School Readiness
On the first day of class there will NOT be any bussing provided to or from
school. This will give us a chance to put names with faces. We will be talking
about bus safety and going for a bus ride with the children. Please be sure to
notify us of any allergies when dropping of your child!!!
Transportation
Please fill out the Bus Request form if you are interested in having your child
ride the bus to and/or from school. Please mail back the request ASAP to
Esko School Readiness, P.O. Box 10, Esko, MN 55733. I will notify you as
soon as possible if we are able to provide transportation. It will be determined
after the regular bus routes have been established.
If your child is bussed, Mrs. Jill will be waiting at the drop off area in front of
the school and will bring the children down to our classroom. Children riding
the bus will not play on the playground before school!
If you are driving your child, the circle lot in the back of the school (near the
playground) is the closest to the room. Please walk your child to the room
every day and check him or her in with a teacher at the start of each class
(8:30 or 12:30). We will meet parents from the morning class at the playground door between 10:50-11:00 and parents from the afternoon class at
the elementary door at 2:50. All children being picked up MUST be by 3:00
because the busses start to line up in the front of the school.
We look forward to seeing you soon. Please call or email with any questions
or concerns.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tina

Description: GRANDMASTERS OF CHESS
NEW CURRICULUM! New and returning students invited. YEL Chess has
proven excellence in dozens of schools. Our lessons are crafted by the best
chess minds in Minnesota. The lessons progress from rudimentary concepts
through higher-level theories. Our activity books are formatted to be
accessible to beginners, yet challenge intermediate and advanced students to
apply deeper understanding of chess concepts. Develop the brain bending
strategies of a brilliant and complex game! For a more thorough explanation
of YEL Chess, please visit our website,www.youthenrichmentleague.com .
- Students earn "chess dollars" for participating in class. On the last session,
we use chess money to buy prizes such as mini chess sets, medals, trophies,
keychains, chess erasers, chess pins.
- Students use and get to keep a workbook that focuses on one piece or
strategy per class.
- Students learn to play other games using chess pieces such
as Capture. The other games reinforce basic chess skills.
- On the last day, we have a tournament. Students who get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
place earn medals.

Instructor: Hannah Rivard
Cost: $10 students/$5 parents
Description: Would you like to fund your entire college education 100% through scholarships?
You want to - and you can! But unfortunately most students never win the tens of
thousands of dollars available to them because of the misconceptions and myths they
believe about finding and winning scholarships. In this one-of-a-kind seminar, not
only learn the top 10 scholarship myths that are costing you money, but learn insider
secrets on doubling your scholarships, finding your dream career, and so much more!
Hannah Rivard, a May 2012 summa cum laude graduate of Northwestern College,
funded her entire $100,000 college education 100% through scholarships, graduating
without debt and beginning a scholarship consulting business called “Thousand
Dollar Hour” (http://www.thousanddollarhour.com/). Hannah keeps a blog, wrote a
book, developed and wrote a 400-page college scholarship educational course, and
speaks around the state helping other students do what she did and successfully fund
college through scholarships by telling the scholarship secrets she used to get to the
top!

Winterquist Elementary News

By Brian Harker
A Fresh Start
With
the
end
of
August
fast
approaching,
the
excitement of a
new school year
begins to set in. Our teachers and
custodial staff have been preparing
the building and classrooms for the
arrival of what hopes to be another
terrific school year at Winterquist
Elmentary School. As parents,
please do your part to best prepare
your children for the start of school.
Together we can start the year in
a positive direction and continue
to create success along the way.
First Day
The first day of school
always brings feelings of excitement
and nervousness to all that are
entering the building. To help relieve
any nervous feelings, we will follow
the same morning procedures for
students in grades 1-6. When the
children get off the bus, they are to
go to the playground (or cafeteria in
case of inclement weather). From
there, they will be met by staff and
will be organized into their assigned
rooms. Class lists have been
provided in this issue of the Esko
Corner to familiarize students with
their classmates and their teacher.
The Kindergarten students
will attend classes on a half-day or
all day/every day basis for the school
year. We will offer three sections
of all day/every day kindergarten.
There will also be one section of
half-day kindergarten. Parents of
kindergarten students will receive a
letter informing them of the details
regarding the opening days of school.
New Staff
The 2013-2014 school
year will bring a couple new
faces to our staff. Ms. Brittany
Jarvis will be teaching Half Day
Kindergarten. Mrs. Tina Roed will
be teaching Special Education.
We are excited to have them on
board and a part of the Winterquist
staff and school community.
New Families
Winterquist
Elementary
extends a warm welcome to all new
families to our community. Parents
play a large role in the educational
opportunities offered throughout
our school. If you need information
or would like a tour of the school
please feel free to call 879-3361.
Our first meeting will be Monday
September 9th at 6:30pm in the Library with FREE Childcare provided.
All parents are welcomed and
encouraged to attend. Its our
first meeting of the year and we
hope to see lots of people there!
SHOES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL!
Your child will participate in physical education class four times a week for
thirty minutes (Grades 1-6). During this time we will try to get your child
to be as active as possible (i.e. running, chasing, dodging, fleeing, jumping).
Parents/Guardians, WE NEED YOUR HELP! The elementary physical education department asks that you purchase indoor shoes for your child while
keeping these guidelines in mind:
• Non-marking soles
• Shoes that have a full heel (some slip-ons have only half a heel)
• Shoes that have rubber soles (Please check the bottoms to make
sure it is rubber not felt (Common brands are Danskin, Sketchers
etc). This causes them to slip and slide all over if they have felt)
• Shoes that will give your child good support during their active play
(shock absorbing).
• Velcro shoes (especially if your child cannot tie their shoes by the
first day of school). Please check out the Velcro; if they only have
one Velcro contact, they will not last the duration of the school year.
Please look for shoes that have 2-3 Velcro contacts.
• Shoes with no laces (This is another option if your child struggles
with shoe tying, but please be sure they are not too big. They will
fall off when they begin to run fast).
Please know that we do not expect NOR want you to buy expensive shoes.
We want your child to be as successful and active as possible in their physical
education class! We have won the battle if we can get your child more time
being active than tying their shoes!
Open House
Open House at Winterquist
Elementary will be held on the
evening of August 29 from 6-7:30.
This is a wonderful opportunity for
the students and families to meet
their teachers and locate their new
classroom. We invite all families to
attend and we hope to see you there.
Student Drop Off
As we prepare for the
beginning of school, please remember
that the earliest time to drop off your
child in the morning for school is 7:45
am. There is no supervision prior to
7:45 and we ask that you follow this
set time during the morning drop off.
Also look for us at Back to School
open house. We will be there with

High School Policies
BULLYING
–
Bulling
or
Victimization occurs when a student
is exposed, repeatedly and over
time, to negative actions on the
part of one or more other students.
It is the philosophy of Esko High
School that every individual
should have the right to be spared
oppression and repeated intentional
humiliation, in school as in society
at large. Negative action is when
someone intentionally inflicts,
or attempts to inflict, injury or
discomfort, humiliation or ridicule
upon another. The attempt to injure
or cause discomfort may include,
but is not limited to words, physical
contact, making faces, dirty gestures,
intentionally excluding someone
from a group or refusing to comply
with another person’s wishes.
Esko Public Schools Policy 514
expressly
prohibits
bullying,
and outlines the procedures and
regulations for bullying prevention
and
intervention,
including:
A person who engages in an act
of bullying, reprisal, or false
reporting of bullying shall be
subject to discipline for that
act in accordance with school
district’s policies and procedures.
Consequences for students who
commit prohibited acts of bullying
may range from positive behavioral
interventions up to and including
suspension
and/or
expulsion.
The school district may take into
account the following factors:
• The developmental and maturity
levels of the parties involved;
• The levels of harm, surrounding
circumstances, and nature of the
behavior;
• Past incidences or past or
continuing patterns of behavior;
• The relationship between the
parties involved; and
• The context in which the alleged
incidents occurred.
Any person who believes he or she
has been the victim of bullying
or any person with knowledge or
belief of conduct that may constitute
bullying shall report the alleged acts
immediately to a teacher, counselor
or the high school principal.
STUDENT DRESS
Students are expected to use good
taste in their dress. Students will not
be allowed to present themselves at
school in any manner which causes
a disturbance or distraction. Shirts
that are excessively revealing
or expose the waist, midriff or
undergarments are prohibited.
Muscle shirts and tank tops are
not permitted. Items of clothing
that promote alcohol, tobacco and
drugs, or are sexually or are anti
socially suggestive will not be
acceptable. Clothing that promotes
ethnic, racial, sexual, or religious
harassment
is
unacceptable.
Students will not be allowed to wear
caps, bandannas, hoods or head
coverings during the school day. The
only exception will be on specified
dress up days, or an allowance
for illness resulting in hair loss.
Students are not permitted to
carry backpacks to and from
classes, nor into the cafeteria.
Backpacks are to be left in student
lockers between the hours of
8:15 and 3:15, with exceptions
made for transporting clothing
to and from physical education
class or by special permission
of the high school principal.
ATTENDANCE
Truancy Prevention Program –
Esko High School participates in a
Truancy Prevention Program for all
Carlton County high schools. EHS
administration collaborates with
county officials in cases of habitual
violation of the Esko High School
attendance policy. Through parent
involvement and early intervention,
we hope to avoid the courtbased truancy petition process.
This program follows a three
step process with our goal
being to improve attendance:
The first step , we will notify the
parent(s)/guardian(s) in writing
when a student has compiled
three (3) unexcused absences or
a combination of eight (8) total
excused and/or unexcused absences
at any time during the semester.
The second step in this program
will begin if your child reaches five
(5) unexcused or a combination of
ten (10) excused and/or unexcused
absences.
The student may be
referred to the Carlton County
Truancy Prevention Programs
Officer, and a request for a meeting
with the student, parents and/
or school officials may be made.
The third step: Please be advised
that if a student reaches seven (7)
unexcused absences or fifteen (15)
excused and/or unexcused absences
administration may refer the student
to the County Attorney’s Office
as a habitual truant to Minnesota
Statute
260.007,
subdivision
19. Upon receipt of a referral
from administration, the County
Attorney’s Office may elect to file a
truancy petition with the district court.
1.ATTENDANCE
—
Punctuality and regular school
attendance are essential to success
in school. The State of Minnesota
requires compulsory attendance for
all children between 7 and 16 years
of age. Students who acquire more
than 14 absences in a semester,
for any non-school related reason,
may receive a grade of Incomplete.
Each absence beyond 14 requires
a physician’s note to be considered
excused.
Consistent school
attendance is one means by which
a student develops responsibility
and self-discipline.
For these
reasons, student absence should be
limited to those instances in which
absence is genuinely unavoidable.
Each student, his or her parent/
guardian and the school share an
obligation to encourage and insure
good student attendance.
Any
time a student misses more than
10 minutes of a class period, he/
she will be considered to have been
absent for the entire period. For
report cards and state reporting
purposes, attendance will be
reported as half or full days with
12:00 p.m. as the dividing point.
Interventions taken by the school:
1.Encourage
student
to attend and stay in school.
2. Advise
parent/guardian
of school policy and state law.
3.
Seek and involve support
services proactively. (i.e.: School
Counselor, School Psychologist, and
Family/School Support Worker.)
4. Collaborate
with
the
Carlton County Truancy Officer.
Progressive Disciplinary
Interventions:
1. Detentions or Saturday School
for each of the first three hours of
truancy.
2. Notify the parent(s)/guardian(s)
in writing when a student has
compiled three (3) unexcused
absences or a combination of eight
(8) total excused and/or unexcused
absences at any time during the
semester.
3. Refer to Carlton County Truancy
Officer when student reaches five
(5) unexcused or a combination of
ten (10) excused and/or unexcused
absences.
4. Truancy Officer may refer the
student to the County Attorney’s
Office as a habitual truant to
Minnesota
Statute
260.007,
subdivision 19. The Carlton County
Attorney’s Office may file a truancy
petition with the district court.
5. In-School Contract (school staff
meets with parents and student)
may accompany interventions 3 or
4 above.
6. Loss of credit may follow the
10th hour of truancy or unexcused
absence in a semester. Petition
hearing possible with academic
department
chair,
instructor,
counselor, parent and student.

Restrictive Procedures Plan
In accordance with Minnesota Statute 1125A.0942, Subd. 1, every
school district is required to develop
and make public a plan that discloses
its use of restrictive procedures. The
plan specifically outlines the list of
restrictive procedures the school
intends to use; how the school will
monitor and review the use of restrictive procedures, including post
use debriefings and convening an
overnight committee; and a written
description and documentation of
the training and staff that have completed the training.
Esko School District uses
restrictive procedures only in response to behavior(s) that constitutes
an emergency, even if written into a
child’s Individual Education Plan
(IEP) or Behavior Interventions Plan
(BIP).
The full plan may be referenced on
our website at www.esko.k12.mn.us.
Scheduling will take place each
spring for the upcoming school year.
All students must enroll in 6 classes
to be considered full time.
Adding a class: A class may be added to your schedule if you meet the
following criteria:
1)
Your request must be made
within the first 6 days of a semester
2)
There must be room available for you in the class
3) Every effort is made to meet the
needs of Esko High School students
through a wide variety of curricular offerings. In some cases, it is not
possible to register students for elective course choices/alternates due to
scheduling logistics.
Dropping a class: A class may be
dropped without penalty if you meet
the following criteria:
1)
You do not fall below 6
classes
2)
You make the request within
the first 6 weeks of a semester or 3
weeks of a quarter class
3)
The class will be replaced

Dropping a class after 6 weeks of a
semester class or 3 weeks of a quarter class will result in the grade of
“FAIL” being placed on the report
card and permanent record.
Exceptions may be made in unusual situations at the discretion of the
Faculty Council.
ADDING
AND
DROPPING
CLASSES—If there is room, a class
may be added to a student’s schedule if done within the first six days
of the semester. If a student drops a
class after six weeks into a semester,
a grade of “Fail” will be recorded on
the report card and the permanent record. Unless authorized by the high
school principal, a student will not
be allowed to drop a class if it will
reduce the number of classes he or
she is taking to less than the minimum requirements. Exceptions may
be made in unusual situations at the
discretion of the high school principal. All students must be enrolled in
6 classes to be considered full-time.

preventing and responding to acts of
bullying, intimidation, violence, and
other similar disruptive behavior.”

“…Occasionally the school district
utilizes surveys to obtain student
opinions and information about students. The purpose of this policy is
to establish the parameters of information that may be sought in student
surveys. Student surveys may be

by the school district. Surveys, analyses and evaluations conducted as
part of any program funded through
the U.S. Department of Education must comply with 20 U.S.C.
1232h.” Parents may opt out of the

accommodations, or programs in
order that such learners may receive
a free appropriate public education.

be developed for each school building in the school district and sections
or procedures may be added or deleted in those crisis management plans
based on building needs.

Privacy Act Statement / How Information Is Used
The National School Lunch Act requires that the household member signing the application must provide the last four digits of their Social
Security number unless the application is for a foster child, or they do not have a Social Security number, or they provide an active assistance
number from the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Food Distribution
Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR). Provision of a Social Security number is not mandatory, but if a Social Security number is required for
a complete application and the household does not provide the information, the application cannot be approved.
We will use your information to determine if your child is eligible for free or reduced-price school meals, and for administration and enforcement of
the lunch and breakfast programs. We may share your eligibility information with education, health, and nutrition programs to help them
evaluate, fund or determine benefits for their programs, auditors for program reviews, and law enforcement officials to help them look into
violations of program rules.
At public school districts, each student's eligibility status is also recorded on a statewide computer system used to report student data to the
Minnesota Department of Education as required by state law. The Minnesota Department of Education uses this information to: (1) administer
state and federal programs, (2) calculate compensatory revenue for public schools, and (3) judge the quality of the state's educational program.
Children who are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals may be eligible for Minnesota Health Care Programs. Your child’s eligibility
status for school meals (qualified for free or reduced-price meals) may be shared with Minnesota Health Care Programs unless you tell us not to
share your information by checking the box in Section 5 of the application. You are not required to share information for this purpose and your
decision will not affect approval for school meal benefits.

night of the All School Open House, Thursday, August 29th, 6:00 – 7:30
pm. You may deposit money into your child’s account to begin the school
year.
Here are a few guidelines and reminders to help us be able to serve
you efficiently as the year begins. Thank you for your attention to these
procedures:
1. No charging of lunches. Please make sure your student has money
in their account.
2. Please help your students to remember their Pin #.
3. When sending cash or a check to deposit into a student’s account,
please put it in an envelope labeled with the student’s first and last
name.
4. One check can be sent for all students in one family. Please label
student’s first and last names and the amount to be put into each
account.
Food Service Software
Esko School is now fully integrated with our student software, Infinite Campus. The biggest benefit is that parents can see on a daily basis what their
students are purchasing for lunch using Parent Portal.The account link gives
real-time access to student meal selections and the cost incurred from the
cafeteria. The Food Service section can be accessed by selecting the student
account number when you are logged in to Parent Portal. All transactions
for the selected month will be displayed in a table, including deposits, meal
purchases and a la carte purchases. Below the table will be the student balance at the end of the selected month. The software is integrated with our
School Store from the web site. Parents are able to pay by credit card using
the school store. Cash or checks will still be accepted at school for lunch payments. If you don’t have a Parent Portal account, or a School Store account,
and you need one, please contact the school.
5. Money will be picked up every Monday in each elementary room it can be
dropped off in the office.
6. Junior and senior high students can drop off money in the office or
bring it to kitchen preferably between 7:30 and 10:30 am.
Breakfast is served from 7:50 - 8:10 am
