From the Principal………… Dan Radicia
The 2014-2015 school year has been exciting; the
level of engagement by our students is truly remarkable. The student body continues to commit themselves
to education by being the central character in their academic success. Historically, the malaise of third quarter
is turned around by the urgency of the fourth quarter
and students want to finish strong. The senior class is
still preparing for AP tests and finals so they are maintaining an appropriate level of seriousness despite 8
days of school left for them. Our attendance rates
stayed consistent around the mid-nineties and the activities provided another engaging activity to connect
with our school.
With the calendar shifting to May, our students are
looking forward to summer break. April was a very important assessment month. The juniors completed the
Nebraska State Assessments in Reading, Math and Science. The results from the state reading, math, and
science tests are sent to the districts in the summer
and will be disseminated in the fall to our seniors.
Elkhorn High School would like to thank our teachers
who are leaving EHS after years of service to our
students: English teachers Jens Gregory and Elizabeth
Ackerman, special education teacher Cassie Sund and
paraprofessionals : Randy Donner, Nancy Edwards,
Cathy Hanson, Chris Showman and Julie Thurston. It
was truly a privilege to work with these teachers as they
served their school district and students with professionalism and sound instruction. Their work with our
students has meaning and lasting value. I wanted to
publically thank you for committing your time to public
education and spending time with our students in the
classroom and in special education.
May 2015
As a reminder, Honors Night is Wednesday, May 13,
2015 at 7:00 p.m. in the auditorium. Parents, please
encourage your student to attend this final ceremony
acknowledging academic excellence. We have plenty of
students to acknowledge. All National Honor Society
students are expected to attend. Teachers will be
contacting individual students to remind them to attend
the ceremony and to tell their proud parents about the
award.
Graduation will be held Sunday, May 17, 2015 at
4:00 p.m. in the EHS gymnasium. Please join us at the
honors night and graduation ceremony to recognize the
academic accomplishments of our students. Seniors
should arrive for graduation no later than 3:00 p.m. on
Sunday, May 17 in the auxiliary gym. Please remember
that graduation is a ceremony; therefore, please refrain
from bringing artificial noise makers that would detract
from the audience hearing another graduate’s name as
he/she receives his/her diploma.
Seniors will be taking their finals for periods 5, 6,
and 7 on Tuesday, May 12 and finals for periods 1, 2,
3, and 4 on Wednesday, May 13, 2014. We will have a
senior picture in the gym, graduation rehearsal, and
seniors will turn in their completed senior checkout
sheets to receive their cap and gown for graduation.
Seniors will be released around 2:15 on Wednesday,
May 13.
EHS students will be dismissed for final testing at
12:55 p.m. on Thursday, May 21 and at 11:45 a.m. on
Friday, May 22, 2015. EHS will not be serving lunch on
either day. The last school day is Friday, May 22.
Report cards will be mailed home around May 29.

I want to thank the parents for supporting their students and teachers during this 2014-2015 year. I look
forward to August and hope that our Elkhorn High
School families have a safe and exciting summer.

SUMMER SCHOOL
Senior Exit Information: A letter was sent home in
April to all seniors. Seniors were asked to return a
sheet asking about future plans, final transcripts and
scholarships by April 17th. Additional scholarships
received after this date can still be turned into
Mrs. Dowd in case there is still time to be reported
in the graduation program. Please also bring in a
PHOTOCOPY of any scholarship award letters you
have received to Mrs. Dowd. These can be emailed
to mdowd@epsne.org. Also, final transcripts must be
sent to the student’s college of choice. If a student
changes their college choice during the summer,
email or leave a voice mail for Mrs. Frevert
tfrevert@epsne.org and she will send a transcript.
EHS Summer School: The Elkhorn High Summer
School program will run from Monday June 1st to
Friday July 26th. Elkhorn’s program is used for
CREDIT RECOVERY and is computer based and
self-paced. Credit is given for successful completion.
Sessions will be held Monday through Friday. The
cost is $125 per course. Space is limited and counselors will contact students with the greatest need for
credit recovery in order to stay on track for graduation. In many cases, a student can make up a failed
course during the school year in place of an elective.
College Credits Earned: If a senior has earned college credits either through dual credit opportunities or
AP test scores, the student is responsible for completing the correct paperwork to have their college credits
transferred to the college they plan to attend. See
Mrs. Hightower if there are questions.


When completing the AP test, students will be
able to indicate which college scores should be
sent. Scores will be sent to colleges in late July.
Contact www.collegeboard.com if college choice
changes.
If your student was enrolled in a class for dual
enrollment, contact the appropriate college for
dual credit transcripts or pick up a transcript request form in the EHS Counseling Center.
Peru State College (Composition, Accounting
II, College Algebra, Trigonometry)
University of Nebraska at Omaha (AP Spanish, AP US History, AP Biology)

TECH SAVVY PARENT TIPS
MAY 2015
Elkhorn Public Schools Policy 507.13—Internet Safety Policy was written in compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act. Tech Savvy Parent tips
are intended to inform and educate parents of technology that may be available to their students. Tips may feature apps that are educational as well as
those that may be a cause for concern to parents.
Dangers of Distracted Driving
More than 3,000 Americans were killed and 400,000 more were injured in car crashes attributed to distracted drivers in 2013. Driving is
an important responsibility and one of the best ways to encourage students to become responsible drivers is to model safe, attentive
driving. Here are a few easy tips to avoid distracted driving: Keep your phone in the glove box, trunk or back seat to avoid temptation to
use it while driving; Tell friends before leaving that you’re going to be driving and may not respond; As a passenger, ask other drivers not
to text and drive; Remember that no text or phone call is more important than your responsibility behind the wheel. (distraction.gov)
Popular Websites—Craigslist
Craigslist is a local, online network of classifieds, personal ads and forums. While the site can be a valuable tool for buying and selling
goods or locating local services, a string of incidents involving scams, impersonation and theft should have users on high alert. Craigslist
is not meant for children, and interactions should always be conducted and/or supervised by adults. Users should carefully follow safety
guidelines to avoid dangerous situations and possible scams.
Educational Apps—NOVA Elements
NOVA Elements is a free app created by PBS to allow students to further explore the periodic table. Users can find detailed information
on each element, see how elements combine to make everyday objects, play a chemistry game and much more. This app is recommend-
