district.
Additionally we recognized teachers of the year for elementary and secondary as well as a support person of the year. We are very proud of all of
our staff for their hard work, efforts, and dedication. Our 2014-2015 teachers of the year and support person of the year are respectfully:

Robert Neiswender - Math Teacher at Junior-Senior High School
Dawn Weiss - Accounts Payable and Cafeteria Fiscal Director
WELCOME ANDREW NETZNIK
I am very excited to be joining the Tulpy Family. I cannot think of a better school district to be joining than Tulpehocken. As the new Junior-Senior High School Principal, I know it will be take some time to get to know everyone
and learn all about the district but I am certainly ready and excited to be apart of a such a dynamic district.
As you get to know me you will find that I think family is so important. My wife and I, along with our 2-year-old
daughter and “baby on the way”, are thrilled to be a part of the Tulpy Family as well as have everyone become part
of ours. I believe that family, friends, and neighbors play such an integral part of a child’s education, and so working
together, I know we will be able to continue the legacy of excellence at
Tulpehocken and build even greater opportunities for our students.
I have spent some time in the district prior to my official start date with
my initiation being Tractor Day. What a great event! It was nice to see
students and community members taking pride in their roots and foundation
of the Tulpy community. Such pride along with the district initiatives have
impressed me immensely. Tulpehocken Area is ready to take things to the
next level and I am excited to be a part of it!
I will be entering my 13th year in education. The past 7 years have been
spent as a principal in Schuylkill Haven Area and most recently Hamburg
Area. I began my career at Tamaqua Area High School teaching social studies. And now I am ready to write a new
chapter at Tulpehocken.
Lastly, I want to thank everyone for the warm welcomes so far and look forward to working with each one of you.
My door is always open and I encourage everyone to engage in open dialogue so we can build a better future for all
of our students.
SUMMER ORIENTATION PROGRAM FOR NEW JUNIOR HIGH STUDENTS
For many students the transition from the elementary school to the junior high school, is difficult. Many students
are overwhelmed by the various tasks and responsibilities and become quite anxious. Some of their concerns include:
getting to class on time, finding their lockers and remembering the combination, finding the cafeteria and bathrooms,
remembering which class to go to next, fear of getting lost in the building, keeping up with the class work for multiple subjects, and social issues, including peer pressure, cliques, and bullying.
In an effort to help students make a positive transition to the Junior High School, we have developed a Summer
Orientation Program. The Junior High Orientation is voluntary and parents are welcome to attend. During the orientation, students will spend time in the Junior High building, learn the location of their homeroom, preview their class
schedule, meet teachers, locate their locker and practice the combination. Students will be given a sample agenda
sheet and will write down assignments posted in the various Junior High classrooms, to help prepare them for the
increased demands of 7th grade. Students will also have a chance to meet their new classmates and engage in fun
activities as they learn about the Junior High.
The Summer Orientation Program will be held on Tuesday, August 18, 2015 starting at 9:00 A.M. to 11:30 A.M. in
the Junior High Building. We will assemble in the Junior-Senior High Auditorium at 9:00 and proceed to the Junior
High for the program. Refreshments and a brief orientation to the Junior/Senior High Cafeteria will be held from
11:00 to 11:30 A.M. We look forward to seeing the new 7th grade students and anyone new to the district 8th grade
student body on Tuesday, August 18, 2015!
Sincerely,

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY TEACHER APPRECIATION LUNCHEON
On May 6 , 2015 NHS hosted its annual teacher appreciation luncheon
at the High School. This year’s theme was “The Beach” and featured
kabobs and ice cream and an assortment of “beachy” decorations.
The luncheon takes place during Teacher Appreciation week and
allows NHS students to pamper teachers and show how much they are
appreciated. Not only do students prepare lunch and serve the teachers,
they also make sure junior and senior high teachers get any additional
help they need throughout the day with their classroom planning. The
luncheon has become one of the favorite service activities of NHS
students.

6TH GRADE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE BERKS COUNTY READING OLYMPICS
On May 21, 2015, a team of Bethel Elementary sixth grade students attended the Berks County Reading Olympics
competition at Twin Valley Middle school. This is an annual event involving students in grades six through eight
from several school districts in the county. Each team needed to read from a list of 45 books. At the competition,
two competing teams met in a classroom and answered questions about
the books in a quiz-show like format with teams taking turns answering
questions and getting points for correct answers.
The team of 8 Bethel Elementary students included Alek Brown, Malachi
Christ, Connor Davis, Sabrina Heck, Abigail Hulse, Tiana Martin, Kody
Yeakley, and Kyle Yenser. They scored in the third place level. Everyone
had a wonderful time at this celebration of books and reading.
Way to go team!

BETHEL STUDENT WINS LAW DAY CONTEST
On April 30, 2015, the Berks County Bar Association held their annual Law Day Luncheon at
the Crowne Plaza in Wyomissing. The celebration theme this year was “Magna Carta: Symbol of
Freedom Under Law.” As part of the celebration, students in 5th and 6th grade across Berks County
were invited to participate in an essay contest. The topic was, “What is the most
important right set forth in the Bill of Rights and why?”
Connor Davis, a Bethel 6th Grade student, won third place in Berks County for his essay on the
First Amendment. The essay was submitted by Jeff Strayer, Bethel 6th Grade teacher. Connor
participated in the Law Day Luncheon and received a medal, certificate, and monetary award.
BCTC STUDENTS OF THE QUARTER
Each quarter, BCTC instructors select a student from their program whose attitude, skills, and knowledge
gained during that particular quarter is above and beyond the standard. The student shows initiative and integrity
in performing their tasks and is, overall, the best student for that quarter.
The students receive a certificate of recognition and are honored as a group at a breakfast reception for the
morning students, and the afternoon students are honored at a luncheon reception. The students are also photographed and their portrait is displayed prominently throughout the school.

SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES AND SECTION 504/CHAPTER 15
ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION
In compliance with state and federal law, notice is hereby given that the Tulpehocken Area School District will
provide special education and related services to students with special needs. Ongoing identification activities are
used to find students who require these services. If children are identified specially designed instruction is available

AutismDeaf-Blindness
Emotional Disturbance
Hearing Impairment including Deafness
Intellectual DisabilityMultiple Disabilities
Orthopedic Impairment
Speech or Language Impairment
Specific Learning Disability
Visual Impairment including Blindness
Traumatic Brain InjuryMentally Gifted

Also, in compliance with state and federal law, the Tulpehocken Area School District does provide “protected
handicapped students” with specific services under Section 504/Chapter 15. The services, related aids, or accommodations are given without discrimination or cost to the family or student. The intent of this assistance is to permit
students to obtain the maximum benefit from school programs and activities as are appropriate to their individual
abilities. To qualify as a “protected handicapped student”, a child must be of school age with a physical or mental
disability that substantially limits or prohibits participation in or access to an aspect of the school program. These
services are distinct from those applicable to students with disabilities enrolled or seeking enrollment in special education program.

TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM EXPANSION TAKES SHAPE
We are pleased to offer more technology options at Tulpehocken during the 2015-2016 school year. Beginning this
upcoming school year, both students and teachers in grades K-8 will be able to take advantage of a wider range of
technology devices for their lessons that require student technology access.
Students in grades 2, 3, 7, and 8 were assigned iPads as part of a pilot program for the
2014-2015 school year. After much consultation with classroom teachers at these grade levels,
as well as teachers at other grade levels K-8, the Dell Inspiron 11 3000 was selected for use in
grades 5-8, and the iPad was selected for use in grades K-4. The Inspiron was selected for its
flexibility as a hybrid device. It allows students to angle the device to be a touch screen tablet
or a keyboard/mouse driven notebook.
When we look ahead at some of the exciting options that this new technology affords our students, we must acknowledge that our curriculum is becoming increasingly digital. Textbook developers have replaced textbooks and supplemental workbooks with interactive websites and apps.
Our students first acquire 21st century skills beginning in their elementary level
computer lab classes. Once thought of as “keyboarding class”, elementary computer
lab classes today allow students to focus on writing, research, and collaboration skills
in a world that is becoming flat.
As curriculum continues to inform technology program decisions, it is important to
note that our professional development programs continue to be evaluated and refined
to equip our faculty with the tools they need to continue to help students focus on
essential skills to be successful both inside and outside of the school environment.
This commitment has not changed. We look forward to continuing down the path of
offering best-in-class resources to every student at Tulpehocken.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM)
Dear Parents or Guardians:
The Tulpehocken Area School District uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach for managing insects,
rodents, and weeds. Our goal is to protect every student from pesticide exposure by using an IPM approach to pest
management. Our IPM approach focuses on making the school buildings and grounds an unfavorable habitat for
these pests by removing food and water sources and eliminating their hiding and breeding places. We accomplish this
through routine cleaning and maintenance. We routinely monitor the school buildings and grounds to detect any pests
that are present. The pest monitoring team consists of our school personnel. Pest sightings are reported to our IPM
coordinator who evaluates the “pest problem” and determines the appropriate pest management techniques to address the problem. The techniques can include increased sanitation, modifying storage practices, sealing entry points,
physically removing the pest, etc.
From time to time, it may be necessary to use chemicals to manage a pest problem. Chemicals will be used only
when necessary, and will not be routinely applied. When chemicals are used, the school will try to use the least toxic
product when possible. (Applications will be made only after school hours.) Notices will be posted in these areas 72
hours prior to application and for two days following the application.
Parents or guardians of students enrolled in the school may request prior notification of specific pesticide applications made at the school. To receive notification, you must be placed in the school notification registry. If you would
like to be placed on the registry, please notify the district in writing. Please include your e-mail address if you would
like to be notified electronically. Please send requests to: Tulpehocken Area School District, 27 Rehrersburg Rd.,
Bethel, PA 19507, Attention: Rick Triest.
If a chemical application must be made to control an emergency pest problem (ex: stinging insects), notice will be
provided by telephone to any parent or guardian who has requested such notification in writing. Exemptions to this
notification include disinfectants and anti-microbial products: self-containerized baits placed in areas not accessible to
students and gel type baits placed in cracks, crevices or voids.
Each year the District will prepare a new notification registry. If you have any questions, please contact Rick Triest,
IPM Coordinator at 717-933-4611 ext. 2122.

NEW ACT 153 VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
Former Governor Thomas Corbett signed into law Act 153 of 2014, which amended Pennsylvania’s Child Protective Services Law and the Public School Code to impose more extensive criminal background check requirements on
school employees and volunteers having direct contact with children.
The definition of volunteer as provided is any “person having direct contact and interaction with students.” In an
attempt to comply with Act 153, Tulpehocken Area School District will view the following as volunteers due to the
potential of having direct contact with students: PTO members, booster organization members, chaperones, persons
assisting with athletic or music events, persons working in concession stands, school security personnel, and classroom volunteers.
Effective July 1, 2015, the following clearances must be obtained and must be renewed every three years:
•
Act 151 Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance;
•
Act 34 Pennsylvania Criminal History Record Check; and
•
One of the following two options:
* 1) Federal Criminal History Record (includes fingerprinting), or
* 2) An “Act 153 Volunteer Affidavit” sworn and executed by the potential volunteer in the presence
of, and witnessed by, a District Administrator or Human Resources officer. This form is available
on the TASD website and at the District Office upon request. This option is only available to
volunteers who:
a) Have been a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania continuously for the previous
ten (10) year period of time, and
b) Have never been convicted of a disqualifying crime in Pennsylvania or another jurisdiction.
The District will supply “approved” volunteers with a photo ID badge and lanyard. The badge will say “Approved
Volunteer” and include the expiration date of each individual’s clearances. District employees may volunteer at any
time with the building principal’s permission.
Once clearances have been provided to the School District and the volunteer has been issued an “Approved Volunteer” badge, a volunteer may transfer to or provide services to another TASD department, program, service, or activity without obtaining additional certifications for so long as the volunteer’s certification is current.
Volunteers arrested for or convicted of a criminal offense enumerated under 23 Pa.C.S. § 6344(c), or named as
perpetrators in a founded or indicated report of such an offense, must notify the School District in writing within 72
hours of arrest, conviction, or notification that they have been listed as a perpetrator in the Statewide database.
Contact a building administrative assistant for a volunteer packet and more information.

ASBESTOS HAZARD EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACT
In accordance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), The Tulpehocken Area School District has conducted inspections of all the School District buildings for the presence of Asbestos Containing Building
Materials (ACBM). An asbestos management plan for each building was developed detailing the location and condition of all ACBM along with the short-term actions to be taken to protect building occupants. These management
plans are available for review by any interested person in either the District Administration Office or at the individual
school during normal working hours.
AHERA regulations require a re-inspections every three years by an accredited building inspector. This triennial
inspection was conducted during 2015.

COMMUNITY SERVICE CLUB ACTIVE
As the 2015 school year wound down the Community Service Club wrapped up three endeavors. Senior Matt
Kerber did a fine job orchestrating our annual penny wars campaign. Basically all the high school classes have huge
containers into which money is placed. Pennies are a positive and other coins count as a negative. When it was all
said and done the juniors edged the sophomores and came away with the victory and the accompanying ice cream
party. Thanks to Giant Foods for donating the ice cream.
Sophomore Vance Gradwell organized our club’s second annual 5 on 5 co-ed soccer tourney. Six teams participated
in the Friday afternoon event. Trojan alumni and Millersville standout Jamie Vasquez was the MVP as his team won
their second straight title. All proceeds from the penny wars and soccer tourney went to the Wounded Warrior Foundation. Approximately $250 was raised.
Tori Stump, Taylor Schies, Alondra Velazquez, and Josseline Sarceno organized the 10th annual Trojan Idol competition held in the THS auditorium. The event was hosted by Tulpy’s version of Ryan Seacrest -Mr. Dave Fake. Rising
from a talented field of 16 contestants senior Christina Koenig edged freshman sensation Melinee Wilson in the finals.
Koenig’s rousing rendition of “Think of Me” from Phantom of the Opera brought down the house as did Wilson’s
“King of Anything” by Sarah Bereillis. Thanks to judges Mr. Reid (Simon Cowell) Mosley, rookie Mr. Chris Stoy,
and veteran Ms. Sue Behm.

JEAN ROBERTS MEMORIAL FUND DEDICATED TO GIFTED EDUCATION
The family of former Tulpehocken gifted support teacher Jean Roberts, who died in May, 2014 after one year of
retirement, has established a $50,000 memorial fund to benefit gifted students and gifted educational programming.
There are currently 78 elementary and secondary gifted students enrolled in the district, many of whom studied with
Jean while in grade school.
William F. Roberts, Jean’s husband, created the Jean G. Roberts Memorial Fund for Gifted Education in concert
with the Berks County Community Foundation in January of 2015. This is an endowment fund that will generate annual income beginning with the 2015-16 school year. A small group of students from the Class of 2015 received an
additional gift from Mr. Roberts last spring—nearly a year after Jean’s death-- to defray expenses for a two-day trip
to New York City in late May.
At school and inside her own home Jean was known as a crusader for regional travel and educational field trips.
She meticulously researched each outing and overnight excursion and escorted students to destinations ranging from
the memorials in Washington D.C. to museums in Philadelphia and New York. In fact, her family stipulated that the
first purpose of the memorial fund is to finance at least one field trip per academic year for qualified gifted students.
The Fund will also underwrite the cost of educational materials and stipends for guest speakers.
“She (Jean) felt very strongly that field trips were important,” said Mr. Roberts. “And her students didn’t go on a
field trip without advance preparation. She approached these trips as study experiences and learning experiences. She
saw them as a way to generate student excitement and motivation for learning.
“Jean struggled to put these trips together and then sometimes students didn’t have the money to go,” Mr. Roberts
added. She worked hard collecting money and doing the administrative tasks, so I know field trips were important but
something that schools often can’t fund in this current environment.”
For Taylor Boyer, Class of 2015, Mrs. Roberts’ field trips were as legendary as her compassion and dedication.
“The main thing that sticks in my mind about her is the way she treated others,” says Taylor Boyer, who will be a preveterinary medicine major at Delaware Valley College in the fall. “She was always patient and considerate and made
time for anyone who needed it.”
“I remember going to Ellis Island and the King Tut exhibit at the Franklin Institute. I believe that field trips allowed
us to be exposed to other cultures and to learn about history or people in whole new ways. We explored the world outside our tiny school and saw what there is to offer.”
“To me, field trips mean that I am being given more opportunities, and I gratefully take each one.”
For current gifted education teacher Connie Tworkoski, the New York trip this spring made a bigger impact with
students than she expected.
“Visiting the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and seeing The Phantom of the Opera were highlights for students, but
some of their questions and comments made me aware how meaningful it was to them to visit a large city.”
“Navigating the subway, taking bus rides and walking along the bustling streets were eye-opening experiences for
our students. The exposure presented them with the idea that although they may not choose to live in the city they can
visit one without being afraid to try new things.”
Jean Roberts retired after a 42-year teaching career; she served in the Tulpehocken Area School District 21 years
and will be remembered for her devotion to her students.
“The foundation of her teaching was love every student,” explains Roberts, “And you know it took her three years
to retire,” he adds, “ but she didn’t want to leave the kids.”
Taylor Boyer felt that connection as a fourth-grader, her first year with Jean, as well as years later while she was
standing in the middle of Manhattan. “I did think of her when I admired the crazy bright lights and big signs on Times
Square. Mrs. Roberts would have loved to be there with us, and we were there on behalf of her---and all thanks to Mr.
Roberts.”
He demurs, however, when the spotlight of gratitude
shines too brightly on him.
“Trust me and be assured that the gift received by me
doing this is greater than the gift given.”
Gifted students from the Class of 2015 enjoy a graduation field trip to
New York City.

CONCUSSIONS AND SCHOOL
Each year hundreds of thousands of K-12 students sustain concussions as a result of falls, motor vehicle crashes,
sports injuries, or playground injuries. Concussions may be caused by any bump, blow, or jolt to the head. Even
something that seems minor may be serious if not properly managed.
You cannot see a concussion and the signs and symptoms may not appear until days after the initial injury. It is
important to be on the lookout for any of the following symptoms:
Physical
Sensitivity to Light
Sensitivity to Noise
Thinking
Feeling Mentally Foggy
Problems Concentrating
Emotional
Irritability
Sadness
Fatigue
Visual Problems
Numbness/Tingling
Vomiting
Problems Remembering
Feeling More Slowed
Down
Feeling More Emotional
Nervousness
Balance Problems
Dizziness
Headaches
Nausea
Sleep
Drowsiness
Sleeping More Than
Usual
Sleeping Less Than Usual
Trouble Falling Asleep
If your child reports any of the above symptoms or if you notice any changes, here are some steps to take in order to
ensure the best possible recovery outcome for your child:
1) Notify your child’s school nurse or certified athletic trainer about the possible injury. They can help with
referrals to physicians and specialists.
2) Seek medical attention from a physician or specialist trained in concussion management.
3) Notify your child’s guidance counselor and teachers about the injury. Sometimes temporary academic modifications may need to be put in place to better help your child return to school. Your physician may recommend the
following:
No academic testing
Extra time for homework / assignments
Limited/No computer use
Rest breaks in the nursing office
*** Please provide your child’s school with written notice of any needed accommodations.***
4) Notify your child’s PE Teacher and coaches about the injury. Physical activities such as gym class, recess,
and sports should be avoided while your child is recovering from their injury.
5) Follow a gradual return back to full activity. Once given the OK by the treating physician your child should
follow a gradual progression back to full activity. This progression should be supervised by their school nurse, athletic trainer, coach, or physical education instructor.

Division III) and 9-11 overall. The Trojans qualified for the District AA tourney where they lost a heartbreaker on a
walk off walk to Division III rival Brandywine 11-10. Highlights of the year included Matt Martin’s pitching masterpiece against Annville-Cleona on senior night as the Trojans hammered the playoff bound Dutchmen 9-2 and Martin’s
dominating 3-1 win over division champion Oley. Martin finished 3-3 on the mound and struck out 56 in 43 innings
pitched. The offense was led by junior shortstop Kevin Berry who hit .406 and made several dazzling plays on defense. Martin and Berry were named to the Division III all-division team. Senior Matt Kerber led the team in stolen
bases (19) and homers (1) and was the team’s closer. Kerber and Martin represent Tulpehocken in the annual BerksPAC 10 All-star game. Rookie centerfielder Jake Carles (.397) and sophomore second baseman Vance Gradwell
(.382)along with Kerber were named All-Division honorable mention. Seniors Martin, Kerber, catcher-outfielder-DH
