NPHS Newsletter - April 2015 ASPIRE Testing - Round 2 By Mr. Brewer Round 2 No, I am not referring to the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight. I am referencing the second round of ACT Aspire testing. In compliance with the 2011 Assembly Bill 40 Act 20 and the 201315 biennial state budget, all 9th and 10th grade students will undergo a total of five days of testing. ACT Aspire is an online assessment which assesses students’ readiness in English, math, reading, science, and writing. On April 28th and 29th, all sophomores will test in the morning and freshmen will test in the afternoon. May 5th and 6th will see a reversal of that order, where freshmen will be in the morning and sophomores will test in the afternoon. Both grades will complete the writing portion of the Aspire assessment in their respective English class. I would recommend that students, parents and guardians visit the ACT Aspire website: http://actaspire.pearson.com/ You will be able to Dress Code Reminder access sample test questions for all grades and subjects. An example of a question that is used on the Aspire is as follows: A student thinks that the sum of 4.3 and 8.4 is 12.7 because 4 + 8 = 12 and 3 + 4 = 7. The student then adds 3.7 and 2.6 and gets 5.13 because 3 + 2 = 5 and 6 + 7 = 13. Identify the mistake in the student’s procedure, and explain why this procedure won’t always work. I would also recommend that students, parents and guardians visit the Wisconsin Department of Instruction website: http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/assessment/ ACT . Here you will find a plethora of information regarding the ACT Suite of assessments. Please encourage your student to look at those resources and do their best on these assessments. From Mr. Marien As spring arrives and temperatures rise I would like to take the time to remind our students and parents about our dress code. The specifics can be found in our student handbook on page 28 if you are unsure about anything. Students need to be comfortable while also not taking away from the learning environment. The person wearing the questionable clothing may be able to focus and continue their learning, but their dress may affect other students in the classroom from being able to focus on their school work. For the most part, our students do wear the appropriate clothing to school. When students do not wear appropriate clothing they are either sent to the office or called to the office, depending on who notices their questionable attire. Once in the office the student will most likely be given something to wear to cover up the area that isn’t covered appropriately. The clothing that is given to students to wear may not meet current popular fashions, Northland Pines but students will still be instructed to wear them regardless of this fact. If the High School school doesn’t have anything to wear, we will call home and ask parents to bring 1800 Pleasure Island Rd. something in for their child to wear. We truly hope these circumstances do not arise, but if they do we will handle it as soon as we hear about the dress code vio- Eagle River, WI 54521 lation. As always I appreciate the hard work and dedication that is shown on a Phone 715-479-4473 daily basis by our staff and student body. GO EAGLES!! News from the Counselors As the school year is winding down, we in the Guidance Office are winding up! Scholarship and Awards night is coming quickly on May 4th at 6:30 pm in the NPHS Auditorium. We anticipate another successful night with students receiving generous gifts from our community members and organizations. We are very fortunate and thankful for the communities’ generosity in assisting our college bound students. Scheduling is in progress as well. We are working furiously to create a master schedule which accommodates the majority of students and their requests. It is our plan that schedules will be in the students’ hands by late May, so they can be ready for next year. Spring testing is also on our minds. The 9th grade students and the 10th grade students will be partici- pating in the ACT Aspire testing. This test will evaluate skills in English, Reading, Math, Science Reasoning and Writing. Test dates are April 28 and 29, and May 5 and May 6. This computer based test is required by the Department of Public Instruction and all students are expected to be here and ready to do their best!! Please make sure students are well rested and well fed!! Advanced Placement (AP) Testing will also take place in May. Students participating in the AP program will be given thier subject test on a nationally scheduled date. The scores range from 1-5, with 5 being the best. Students will have access to their scores and are responsible for sending their scores to the college of their choice. We no longer get individual test results and cannot assist students in sending scores. Good luck to all students in our testing programs and on Scholarship and Awards night!! The 12th Annual Earth Day Community Service Project The past three years have seen Northland Pines HS push it’s annual service project back into May. Last year’s May 28th date was a challenge as staff worked to avoid disruption to AP testing, senior schedules, and preparations for final exams. To better accommodate the end of year rush, organizers have opted for a date in the middle of May for this year’s project. The 2015 Annual Earth Day Community Service Project will be held on Wednesday, May 13th. This year the High School will celebrate the 12th year students and staff have gone out into communities within the school district and performed clean-up projects: for organizations and individuals. The Science Department organizes and spearheads the project, each team of students has a National Honor Society team leader and one or more high school staff member help and supervise at the various sites. So when you see busses criss-cross the district as students learn and help outside of their classroom walls, know that the student body of the high school is hard at work to assist your neighbors and communities in a small but powerful way. Organizations that have benefitted from the efforts of students in the past include parks, libraries and town hall grounds in St. Germain, Star Lake, Sayner, Plum Lake, Conover, Land O' Lakes, and Eagle River. Each year a number of people rely on the services provided by the high school and at last count over 45 private yards are on the list to receive clean-up services this year. When organizers didn’t start contacting residents until mid April some were alarmed- “I was worried that I missed the clean up day, because you hadn’t called and with all of the snow I just wasn’t sure if it would happen this year. I’m glad it’s still a project the school supports.” – Eagle River Resident The bussing schedule is near max capacity and anyone not already signed up for this service may be placed on a hold list. This would mean that you’d be placed on the schedule, but the teams may not make it to your location this year. For more information or to be placed on the list for next year, please contact Ann Perry (Northland Pines High School Science Teacher) at (715) 4794473 x0402.

Here are a few of the books that you should read before seeing the movies…. Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern A circus known as Le Cirque des Reves features two illusionists, Celia and Marco, who are unknowingly competing in a game to which they have been irrevocably bound by their mercurial masters, and as the two fall deeply and passionately in love with each other, their masters intervene with dangerous consequences.

SENIORS: Please turn in a baby picture via email to either Arianna Will or Emily Saltenberger by June 1st. If easier, you can also turn in an actual picture to the office. We need everyone's picture for this to work. Graduation is right around the corner! Chromebook Turn-In 2015 As April comes to a close and we move into the final full month of the school year, I want to remind students and parents about the turn-in of District owned Chromebooks and inform you about the check-in process and evaluation. Students in grades 9-12 at Northland Pines High School were given the opportunity to use a Samsung Chromebook from the District or to opt out of the program and use an acceptable personal device. If you chose to use a District device, we will collect it at the end of the year, evaluate the condition and assess any damages that are above and beyond normal wear and tear. Examples of items that are subject to charge: Broken screen, cracked plastic, broken headphone jack, or missing parts. Examples of normal wear and tear: Scratches on the surface, stickers or skins, missing SD card slot cover Seniors need to have their Chromebooks turned in before 3:30 pm on June 3rd. The rest of the students need to turn their devices in by 3:30 on June 10. Any student who does not turn in the device will be charged a $250 replacement fee. We place high importance on making this tool available for all aspects of education and are committed to allowing students to keep the device until after their last final of the year. If you or your child are concerned with excessive fines for the condition of a Chromebook, please feel free to contact Chromebook Central for an evaluation of damages and estimate of charges. The device will be evaluated and an estimate sheet will be given to the student for reference. This sheet is an estimate only and does not reflect additional damages that may occur before the end of the year. ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSCRIPTED CREDIT NPHS World Languages Clubs Have Amazing Opportunities for Students to Travel Abroad!

It will take only a few minutes and provide us with important information as we prepare for next school year. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3HQMWR6 Please take the survey by April 30th. Thank you for your time! Maggie Bishop Food Service Director Northland Pines Focus on Foods Students have been working on refining their organization, measuring and preparation skills, and finishing up with a look at the key nutrients, carbohydrates and fats. Students prepared a pasta dish for the carbohydrates where they needed to pre-measure all the needed ingredients and then follow the recipe to create the food. For the fats they made a delectable cheeseburger with homemade potato chips. Next we will be taking a look at the MyPlate dietary guide to create balanced and quick meals. Child Development Students have been busy in child development. They took a look at infant nutrition, finding and making homemade baby food, along sampling it. They needed to make a list of needed food, find the prices of these foods and compare it with store bought baby food. Baby food creations were chicken and banana, mixed mango tango, yummy avocado fruit salad, and yum yum pumpkin. Next, students had the opportunity to hear from New Beginnings Day Care owner and director, Mrs. Janet Duening. She came in to talk to the students about what it is like to own and run a daycare. She shared a number of areas she has had to deal with from what it took to find and buy a facility, as well as needed permits and legal papers to develop. She talked about what is needed to purchase in regards to furnishings and toys in each room, as well as having a balanced menu plan. She informed students she will only hire certified teachers and those who want to be there to do a good job and, hopefully, make a difference in children’s lives. She is open to having student volunteers come and help out in the infant room to see and get a feel of what working in a day care would be like, and dealing with different infant needs. We have now started to take a look at the toddler stage of child development. We had Mrs. Husing come in with her 18 month old daughter to talk about having a toddler in the house and what has been some of the changes she has seen in her daughter. She also shared information on healthy eating for a toddler. Advanced Foods Students took a field trip to Nicolet College on March 18th to participate in their Culinary Arts Open House. Students had the opportunity to talk with current students and observe, as well as even try some of the techniques being demonstrated and sample foods created. They got a tour of the kitchen facility, as well as the campus. Students brought back the experience to the class to plan, use a technique, and prepare a food they were introduced to. Some of their choices were mini pizza with homemade sauce, bacon wrapped dates made to look like a rose, Bananas Foster dessert, and decorated chocolate dipped strawberries. It was a great learning experience for everyone. ART SHOWS March - Youth Art Month The annual Youth Art Month show at the Walter E. Olson Memorial Library took place during the month of March and showcased some great work from NPHS students. Across the United States during the month of March there are shows and festivities that take place to celebrate the visual arts for grades K12. Youth art month emphasizes the value of art education for all children, encourages support for quality school art programs, and promotes art material safety. In addition, Youth Art Month provides a forum for recognizing the skills developed through the visual arts experience that are not possible in other curriculum subjects. On the right are some student pieces from the Youth Art Month library show. May –NPHS Art Show On May 11th from 5:00pm to 7:00pm there will be an opening reception for the Northland Pines High School art show. All students who were part of the art program this year will have at least one piece of work on display. This is a great opportunity to come and see and support the accomplishments of the NPHS art students. HIGH SCHOOL ART SHOW MONDAY MAY 11TH 5:00—7:00 pm High School LGI Students In PE Take A Swing At Golf With Golf Pro Howard Manske Recently, students in Mr. Rhode’s and Mrs. Schroeder’s Physical Education classes participated in a collaborative effort with the PGA golf in schools program. Local golf pro Howard Manske and NPHS golf coach Dick Hughes helped students over a week long unit. The goal was to introduce students to the game of golf and the valuable life skills it teaches. Students learned the basics of proper grip and swing mechanics and then put them to practice. Safety was stressed and the students were provided lessons and instruction on chipping, putting, and the full swinging motion. Each class was able to practice alongside qualified instructors and a lot of improvement was achieved. The bigger lessons in the unit included the value of the lifelong lessons that can be learned and emphasized while playing golf. One of the attractions to the game of golf is a tradition of integrity, courtesy, respect, and sportsmanship. Northland Pines students were introduced to this great sport and had the opportunity to reinforce these values. We hope this lesson will lead them down a path to participate in a sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime! An Update from Student Council The Student Council has had a very busy spring so far! In March, we successfully organized the very first Adventure Day; an event in which all students and staff got to go out and about to different locations in the state and community. Some students went to Green Bay to visit the Neville Museum and Lambeau Field. Some went to a waterpark in Wisconsin Dells. Others went skiing and snowboarding, or snowshoeing, or bowling, or stayed at school to climb the rock wall facility. It was a great way to spread school spirit and relieve the winter blues, and students and staff alike had a nice day. We also worked on the Prom Dress Sale in April. People could donate used dresses, and students could buy them at very reasonable prices. It is a good event to help those who might need a dress or give a dress. Upcoming events include Staff Appreciation week, which is the first week in May. Plans are in the works for a fabulous week to show how much we appreciate the staff at NPHS. We can't tell you what it is, though...it's a secret! We are also working on recruiting incoming freshmen (current eighth graders) for next year's Student Council. Girl's Summer Basketball camp is to be held on July 22 - 24 from 9:00 am - noon each day. Information about the camp can be found on the district website under athletics tab - Winter Sports- Girls Basektball www.npsd.k12.wi.us/high/hsgirlsbasketball.cfm On Tuesday, April 7th, seven Northland Pines High School students attended the annual Nicolet Area Technical College Welding Competition. This is an event that is very much looked forward to by our students and they take the opportunity to represent Pines very seriously. The competition is a multiple day event, with each school bringing their “Preliminary Round” welders during the week of April 6-10. Each welder chooses the MIG or SMAW welding process and makes T-Joint welds in 4 different positions. In all there were 11 schools and around 75 individual welders. After the Preliminary Round the judges determined the top 20 welders and 5 alternates. Representing Northland Pines was Tyler Staege, Hans Luebke, Drake Schneider, Jacob Czarapata, Matt Daring, Mike John, and Aaron Ewert. Hans Luebke advanced to the Final Round, as well as Drake Schneider as an alternate. Jacob Czarapata welding in the Preliminary Round. Friday, April 17th, brought on the Final Round. The day started with a written exam. The written exam is fairly difficult, with a wide variety of questions on many different aspects of welding, and is used as a tiebreaker for the hands-on portion of the competition. Competitors are then issued several pieces of steel and a weld print showing how the pieces go together and what type of welds are supposed to go where. In all, it is a challenging endeavour. Unfortunately, Drake didn’t get to compete as the first 20 finalists were all able to be there. Hans Luebke gave it a great effort, but didn’t crack the top 10. All of the Pines welders had a good time and learned a great deal about welding at this event. We’ll continue to work over the next year to be ready for the 2016 competitions. Hans Luebke and Drake Schneider advanced to the Final Round of the Nicolet Welding Competition. English I By Mary Wait Students in English I have just completed a unit focusing on Societal Change and Evolution. Freshmen students chose novels from a variety of titles varying from Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, The Hot Zone by Richard Preston, Killer Angels by Michael Shaara , The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, The Ab- solutely True Diary of a PartTime Indian by Sherman Alexie, and Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. While reading the novels, students participated in Literature Circles in which they discussed the plot, characters and theme of Societal Change and Evolution. Upon completion of their reading, students con- nected the novels to their lives by identifying topics generated by the novels that impacted their lives.Students ended the unit by writing letters based on one of those topics to a public official in order to influence change. A Note from the Music Department This month, the Music Department is gearing up for their busy spring concert season. First, students in the Concert Band, Chorale, and A Cappella Choir performed for three adjudicators at WSMA Large Group Festival on Wednesday, April 22nd. Other performing groups included the Tomahawk High School Choirs, Tomahawk 8th Grade Choir, Mercer Middle School Band, Merrill High School Bands, and Prairie River Middle School Band. The Music Boosters are sponsoring one last fundraiser to help students raise money for next year’s New York trip. The Club’s Choice Pizza Fundraiser ended Thursday, April 23rd. Products will come in on May 11th and be available for pick-up after the Spring Concert that evening. Funds raised will go directly into students’ ISAs, or Individual Student Accounts, to pay for their trip. Students in Band and Choir are preparing to perform at State Solo/Ensemble on Saturday, May 2nd. This event will be held at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. These students received a top rating of *1st at our District Solo/Ensemble Festival on March 14th. Good luck to these students as they represent NPHS! The Spring Band/Choir Concert is also coming up on Monday, May 11th at 7:00 pm in the NPHS Auditorium. The theme of this season’s concert is “renewal”; the literature will focus on different stories of renewal, rebirth, and rejuvenation. At this concert, our Seniors will be recognized along with scholarship and major award winners for the year. These awards include the John Philip Sousa Award, Patrick Gilmore Award, Louis Armstrong Jazz Award, Woody Herman Jazz Award, National School Choral Award, Fred Waring Director’s Award, and Music Booster Senior Scholarship. Lastly, this year’s Cabaret Concert will be held Friday, May 30th at 6:00 pm in the NPHS Commons. Our generous local businesses and families are donating a wide variety of products and gift certificates to be arranged into raffle baskets. Major prizes include two 16 GB HD Kindle Fires complete with stands, donated by Headwaters Council for the Performing Arts. The Jazz Ensemble and Jazz combo will provide musical entertainment, paired with jazz soloists from the choir. A’Viands will be providing a full dinner. Tickets will be available in the NPHS Main Office beginning Monday, May 18th. Cost is $12 for adults and $8 for students and seniors, with an immediate family maximum of $35. Take some time this spring to attend one of these great performances! Social Studies Classes Feature Hands-on Learning Opportunities Education continues to change in various ways and depending on your outlook, these changes can be positive or negative. One of the ways in which education is changing is there is less of an emphasis on the teacher in the classroom as the one who delivers information, and more of an emphasis on student centered learning. Students in 9th Grade U.S. History classes at Northland Pines High School will be visiting the Eagle River Historical Museum to experience and learn more about the history of the community and how local, national, and world events are related. The trip will feature an opportunity to visit with local veterans and interact with museum staff and volunteers. In addition to the trip to the museum, Criminology students are currently preparing for a mock criminal trial as they study the Wisconsin criminal court system. Before the trial is held, they will visit Vilas Circuit Court, where they will observe proceedings and have an opportunity to converse with court officials. The trip will also feature a tour of the Justice Center. Both opportunities are examples of how social studies courses seek to make learning meaningful and relevant for students and help them make connections that will strengthen their learning and enrich their lives. Spring News from your School Nurse After a long winter, nicer weather is finally here and everything's starting to bloom. But for millions of people, spring's beauty also brings misery - sneezing, congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, and other unpleasant symptoms of seasonal allergies. About Seasonal Allergies "Ah-choo!" It's your son's third sneezing fit of the morning, and as you hand him another tissue you wonder if these cold-like symptoms — the sneezing, congestion, and runny nose — have something to do with the recent weather change. If he gets similar symptoms at the same time every year, you're likely right: seasonal allergies are at work. Seasonal allergies, sometimes called "hay fever" or seasonal allergic rhinitis, are allergy symptoms that occur during certain times of the year, usually when outdoor molds release their spores, and trees, grasses, and weeds release tiny pollen particles into the air to fertilize other plants. Treatment There is no real cure for seasonal allergies, but it is possible to relieve symptoms. Start by reducing or eliminating exposure to allergens. During allergy season, keep windows closed, use air conditioning if possible, and stay indoors when pollen counts are high. Have your child wash hands or shower and change clothing after playing outside. And a child with seasonal allergies should not mow the lawn (this tends to kick up pollen and mold spores). If reducing exposure isn't possible or is ineffective, medicines can help ease allergy symptoms. These may include decongestants, antihistamines, and nasal spray steroids. If symptoms cannot be managed with medicines, the doctor may recommend taking your child to an allergist or immunologist for regular allergy shots (immunotherapy), which can help desensitize kids to allergens. *Article information obtained from KidsHealth.org.
