SkillsUSA Valentines Day
|
Happy Valentine's Day from our SkillsUSA students! As part of SkillsUSA week last week a few of the Skills members designed and made Valentine's cards and wooden hearts. Members then took their projects to Majestic Heights Assisted Living in Hartford to brighten the day of the residents there. Along with the wooden hearts, SkillsUSA distributed classroom hearts that they cut out and hung on doors around the building to spread the holiday cheer.

ACT Testing - VERY IMPORTANT!
|
Calendar Changes
ACT Testing Date -
February 27, 2018 -
ONLY
JUNIORS REPORT TO SCHOOL
ACT Work Keys Testing Date -
February 28, 2018 -
ONLY JUNIORS REPORT FROM 7:25-11:20 AM,
ALL STUDENTS REPORT FROM 11:20-2:45 pm
*Buses will run two routes for pick up on February 28, one in the morning for Juniors, one later for the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Seniors.
Dear Parents or Guardians of Juniors,
Juniors will take the state-mandated ACT Plus Writing and the ACT WorkKeys on Tuesday, February 27 and Wednesday, February 28, respectively. The tests can only be taken on these dates, or their makeup dates of March 20 and March 21. It is critically important that every effort be made for your child to be in attendance and on time to school on these test dates. There is no cost and no registration to take the test on these dates.
These tests are part of the Wisconsin accountability system and are taken by all juniors in the state. Results are used in a variety of ways, including college admissions, curriculum and instructional decisions at HUHS, and as part of the School Report Card rating issued by the Department of Instruction (DPI).
Our average composite score on the ACT last year was 19.9, below many other area high schools. We certainly want to improve this, but to do so it is important for all students to take the test and to give their best effort, regardless of their plans after high school.
The following information is important for both you and your child and applies to both test days. Please take a moment to review these items with your child.
- Juniors will be in school 7:25-1:00 on Tuesday and 7:25-2:45 on Wednesday. Normal busing is provided.
- Students must have soft-lead #2 pencils (no mechanical pencils) and a picture ID, such as their student ID or driver's license; a calculator is also strongly recommended.
- Cell phones and electronic devices, other than calculators, are not allowed during testing and breaks. Any student using any electronic device, other than a calculator, during testing or breaks, will be dismissed from testing. This includes cell phones buzzing or beeping during testing and breaks.
- Please contact the Attendance Office if you need to reach your child for any reason. Do not call or text your child directly.
- Students may not read, talk, or do other work while testing is in progress.
- Eating or drinking in the testing room is prohibited.
On Tuesday, February 27 only:
- A free breakfast will be served from 7:00-7:40.
- Testing begins at approximately 8:00. Students should plan to arrive by 7:25. Any student arriving after testing begins will not be able to test that day.
- Free water and snacks will be available during a 15-minute break to occur at approximately 10:15. Your child may bring snacks, but these can only be consumed during the break.
- Students will be released after completing the tests around 1:00PM.
- There will be an optional bag lunch option for sale for students in the cafeteria after testing concludes
On Wednesday, February 28 only:
- There will be an optional breakfast available for purchase in the cafeteria from 6:45-7:15AM
- Testing begins right away at 7:25. Again, any student arriving after testing begins will not be able to test that day.
- There is a 15 minute break, but no snacks will be provided. Please plan accordingly.
- Lunch begins at 10:45 for juniors or those who wish to eat lunch at HUHS
- Freshmen, sophomores, and seniors will report by 11:20, as school will resume with 25 minute classes 11:20-2:45
You can also assist by encouraging your child to give his or her best effort while taking the assessments. Here are some tips to help your child prepare for successful testing:
- Keep a positive attitude and simply do your best
- Pay attention to the directions as they are read
- Pace yourself
- Complete the easier questions first, and then go back to finish the rest
- Try to eliminate some of the choices, and then choose the best answer
- Answer every question, even if you have to guess
- Don't worry if others finish before you; testing does not end early, even if everyone has finished
- Go back and recheck your answers, if you finish before time is called
- Make sure you have filled in all answers for the test
Thank you,
Rachel Janczak

UW Campus Regional Placement Testing
Senior students who have been admitted to a UW campus are invited to participate in Regional Placement Testing. As a result of taking the tests, students find out their appropriate level of math, English, and foreign language to begin in college.
Students can register online for Regional Placement Testing, beginning February 1. The benefit of Regional Placement Testing is that students can take the test close to where they live, and they don't need to travel to the campus that they'd like to attend. Also, students need register for only one placement test even if they have been admitted to different UW campuses, or if they change their mind about which UW campus to attend. All UW campuses have access to each student's scores.

Early College Credit Program (ECCP)
The 2017-19 State of Wisconsin Biennial Budget included new language regarding high school students who take courses for college credit. The budget combines the Course Options and Youth Options programs into a single new program called the Early College Credit Program (ECCP).
High school students at public and private high schools may be permitted to enroll in a UW System institution, or an alternative private, non-profit institution of higher education to take courses to earn high school credit, post-secondary credit, or both. Course costs are shared among the school district/private school and the state (and in some cases, the student's family).
Students in grades
9-12 may be eligible to take courses during the fall, spring, or summer semesters. Students may submit their completed forms to school officials by
March 1 for summer/fall semester - or
October 1for spring semester.
For more information, contact your child's counselor.

ACT TESTING - 2017-18
All students considering a two or four-year college experience are reminded to take the ACT test during their junior year. Students can register for the ACT at
www.actstudent.org. When registering, students will need the HUHS school code, which is 500-850. Please remember to check the website to see if the college(s) your son or daughter is considering requires or recommends the ACT writing test. The test fee for the ACT is $46.00 and the ACT with writing is $62.50. If you feel you cannot afford the test fee, please ask your child's counselor if you are eligible for a fee waiver.

Congratulations to Boys Swim!!!
|
Congratulations to Santiago Cloud and Jordan Christnovich who qualified for State at Sectionals
on Saturday! Wish them well this week as they prepare for the big meet in Madison
this Saturday.
Jordan swam to 3rd place in the 50 Free with a best time of 22.05 in the fastest, most competitive race of the meet. He has had his eye set on making state in the 50 Free since Garrett Worman's state qualifying swim in 2015, and he saw that dream realized.
Santiago's best time 500 Free (4:55.85) placed him at 3rd and left him smiling. He came into the season with State in his sights and has worked incredibly hard in the pool and weight room all season to get there.
Other top swims that ended the season included Santiago's 7th place 200 Free, Cory's 7th in 100 Fly, Jeromy's 8th in 100 Back, 7th place for our 400 Free Relay, and 8th place for both the Medley and 200 Free Relay.
