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 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

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.

| Gymnastics Wins Menomonee Falls Invitational |
The discussion turned heated for a mere second.
Annie Mularski and Emily Perkowski were sitting alongside Myia Robinson after Hartford Union completed its work at Saturday's Menomonee Falls Invitational.
The duo was discussing a perferred score for the Orioles in the near future. They had audibily reacted when their score was read out at the conclusion of the meet - a 136.3. It was good enough for a team win by more than three points over Watertown, and the second consecutive invitational Hartford claimed in a weeks' time.
All season long, assistant coach Michael Scherr has promised the team a home-cooked dinner - "and ice cream," Perkowski added - for a 137. Mularski, however has her heights set higher.
"Our goal is to get a 138, and we plan to achieve said goal," the junior said.
"I'll be happier when we get over the 136 hump," head coach Mary Scherr said after the invitational concluded.
They scored a 136.4 last week in earning the Watertown Invitational crown, and have hit 136.5 previously. Getting any part of that extra half-point, however, has been elusive - yet something the
Orioles still strive for.
"Overall, I'm happy with how we did today," coach Scherr said. "I'm looking forward to getting over that 136 zone - that's the goal." Click here to read the full article.

| OriOwls Swim to the Win in Grafton |
After Grafton's dominance in last year's Conference Meet and 3rd place team finish at Division 2 State, the idea of facing Grafton was intimidating. However, while the two returning state swimmers are fast, taking 1st in 3 of 4 individual events, the OriOwls had both a broad and deep enough team to build the 100-80 win.
Top swims this evening came from Cory (2nd in 200 Free, 1st in 100 Fly), Santiago (1st in 200 IM, 2nd in 500 Free), Jeromy (1st 50 Free & 100 Back), Jordan (2nd 200 IM, 1st 100 Free), Logan (3rd 500 Free), Quinn (3rd 100 Free, 2nd 100 Breast), and the 200 Free Relay and 400 Free Relay (Jordan, Jeromy, Cory, Santo).
With tonight's win, the OriOwls conference record stands at 4-1-1, with one Conference dual left to go.

| Gymnastics Wins Watertown Invitational |
School records fell all over the place for the Orioles gymnasts Saturday in Watertown.
Hartford Union scored 136.4 points to win the Watertown Invitational by 1.675 points. Elkhorn was second. The Menomonee Falls/Germantown/Sussex co-op was fifth (132.15).
The Orioles broke four school records, including Emily Perkowski's personal- best 36.125 all-around score. That score, which came with a win on the balance beam (8.9) and three other top-3 placements, won the all-around meet title, as well.
"Emily broke Kyle Copeland's (35.95) allaround record from 1998," coach Mary Scherr said.
Perkowski registered a 9.5 on the floor exercise, 0.025 points behind teammate Annie Mularski. Mularski's 9.525 established a new school record (old, Janette Bower, 9.35, 1998) and won her the event. The pair led Hartford to a team-record 36.325 score, which was previously set in 1998 (36.325).
Miya Robinson scored a 9.05 on the implement.
"Floor was our second event and the girls looked great," Scherr said. "This is one of the events we've been showing a lot of improvement. The girls have been working hard to up their difficulty and event requirements and have cleaned up their execution significantly."
Mularski also set a team record on the vault with
a 9.2, placing first. The old school record was 9.0 by Copeland in 1998.
Perkowski was third with an 8.75, while Shauna Hoff posted a personal-best 8.25.
"I was a little worried going into the meet because with it being exam week practices were a little rough toward the end," Scherr said. "But we started off on the first rotation on beam with only two falls out of 10 routines which was good.
"However, we need to work on getting our connections and better execution. This has been an event we've struggled on this year, so hopefully we can start pulling it together and getting some consistency."
Perkowski was second on the uneven bars (8.975), while Mularski placed fourth (8.4).
Mularski placed third all-around (35.375).
The junior varsity placed second with a 116.55.
"Moving forward I'm hoping to stay consistent in the areas we're doing well and improve on the things we're struggling with," Scherr said. "I was really proud of how well the girls did today on both JV and varsity. Both team scores were high scores for the season."
