District Decision and Appeals Process
|
Dear Parents, Students, Staff, and Community,
The District Administration has developed a District Decision and Appeals Process that we believe will help all of us strengthen our communication, and help students, staff, parents, and community navigate the District's system more easily. The process was initially developed by your District Leadership Team, and then reviewed and endorsed by the Board of Education. The District Leadership Team will continue to update the Process periodically. A few, brief notes about the Process are in order.
- Attached, you will find the Purposes and Guide for the Process.
- Next, you will find the District Decision and Appeals Process. The far left column, Areas, lists the items about which you may need to make a contact. The remaining columns (Initial Contact, First Level Appeal, etc.) are the people you should contact - in order from left to right - to help you. Please follow the order given.
- The last page is the list of Descriptors/Definitions which define the terms used in the Areas (far left) column of the Process. That should help, too.
Please let us know your thoughts and suggestions about how to improve the Process. You should communicate with your Principal, Dan Dobner, or you may contact me directly...
Thank you for the support of our students and staff.
Sincerely,
Attila J. Weninger, Ph.D., Superintendent

Boys Baseball Wins Conference Opener
|
 In Hartford Union's first baseball game of the season, coach Eric Vanden Acker saw his team was a little hesitant on the diamond.
That wasn't the case in the Orioles' Wisconsin Little Ten Conference opener Thursdayagainst rival Slinger.
"The biggest thing about Saturday was that we were being tentative," Vanden Acker said. "It was a big difference today."
Hartford Union was aggressive all game, which led to an 8-5 victory - its first of the season, after a 4-2 loss to Hortonville on Saturday.
Both teams went scoreless in the first inning Thursday. After a 1-2-3 top of the second by the Owls (0-1, 0-1 WLT), the home team exploded for four runs in the bottom half.
Myles Zimdars began with a double for Hartford (1-1, 1-0 WLT) and Brandon Teske followed with a walk. Zimdars stole third in the at-bat.
Cody Guetzke drove in Zimdars with a sacrifice fly to center field.
"It was important for us, after Saturdaywhere we were down 4-0, to get on top early," Vanden Acker said. "We knew this was Slinger's first game
and we wanted to put them at the disadvantage. We wanted to play ahead the entire game."

Girls Soccer - Hartford Union Earns First Win of Season
|
On a muddy field, goals don't always come easy in a soccer game.
Hartford Union made it look easy, though, against Appleton East on Tuesday. T
he Orioles scored in the first 15 seconds and went on to win the nonconference
game,
2-0.
"We talk a lot about, from the opening kickoff, going to play offense right away," Hartford Union coach Kevin Martin said. "Some teams want to defend, but then never cross halfway. We want to mix it up, but play forward. We want to play offense.
"It's worked a couple of times," Martin added. "We want to catch teams flat-footed."
Mallory Knight played the opening kickoff up to Madeline Hoxworth, who gave the Orioles (1-1) the early advantage.
"We came out strong and determined,"
Hoxworth said.
Knight added, "It's exciting. Coach always says to try and get the first goal in the first five minutes."
Playing from behind was tougher, given the sloppy field conditions.
"It was definitely hard to run," Hoxworth said.
Grabbing an early lead was obviously beneficial.
"It was huge because the great equalizer was the field," Martin said. "You could move the ball well, then hit a spot and get stuck in the mud."
Hartford controlled play the majority of the game, getting several shots on goal. Appleton East (0-1) countered with a few in the first half, but none were dangerous to goalkeeper Jorian Dietlemeier. Click here to read full Daily News Article.

2016:
11-16 (7-9 Wisconsin Little Ten)
Postseason:
Lost 3-0 to Madison East, regional semifinal
Returning starters:
Griff Lukes, Sr., 1B/3B (.388 average, .443 OBP, 11 RBIs, 11 extra base hits, All-WLT second team); Austin Brewer, Sr., P/INF (21 1/3 IP, 4.59 ERA); Scott Savage, Soph., OF (.268 average, 5 extra base hits, 1 HR, 10 RBIs, 2 SBs); Zach Braun, Jr., C (.200 average, 1.000 fielding percentage); Jacob Bickert, Sr., OF (1.000 fielding percentage)
Other returnees:
Tucker Crabtree, Sr., P/INF (.258 average, 8 runs, 3 SBs, 11 1/3 IP); Cody Guetzke, Sr., 2B (injured last season, torn labrum); Jake Savana, Sr., OF (.250 average, 3 RBIs)
Newcomers:
Nick Vogel (Jr., SS), Zach Lutz (Jr., P), Myles Zimdars (Jr., P/OF)
Quotable:
"We should be a strong offensive team, that utilizes their patience and speed. Competition will be abundant at all positions due to our deep roster. We need to have people step up on the mound, as we lost 80 percent of our innings pitched from last year. There is a lot of depth with the pitching staff, but getting someone to step up to be a front-of-the-rotation starter will be key."
- Vanden Acker

'There's a lot of new faces this year. We need our pitchers to step up. All three have great potential, but
early on it may be pitching by committee. Still, there's a lot of moving pieces to the puzzle to see where everybody fits, but I really like our athleticism and energy after the first couple of weeks of practice. Now, if we can use that talent and get the kids to buy into what we're teaching. the future looks exciting. Our message is 'Effort and Attitude' every day, and so far I can't ask for more."

Small things prevented Hartford Union from winning its second consecutive Wisconsin Little Ten championship in 2016.
The Orioles registered three conference losses, and each were on the road by one score (2-1 at West Bend East, 1-0 at West Bend West and 3-2 at Oconomowoc). In addition, the season as a whole petered out in the final four games, as Kevin Martin's club allowed 13 goals in those contests. Not coincidentally, Hartford (13-8-2) lost all four.
Martin's defense admittedly is a sore spot as this season begins; the Orioles allowed three goals in their season-opening loss at Catholic Memorial.
Hartford lost two defenders and goalkeeper
Sarah Duncan to graduation last year. In Duncan's place, sophomores Jorian Dietlmeier and Maddy Sieczkowski will compete for the position.
"Our defensive back
line has some question marks coming into the season," Martin emailed the Daily News. "We have some young, strong defenders, but they are not tested at the varsity level
yet. We need to really get our defense in shape if we are going to make a run at the WLT title and into the playoffs."
Sophomore defenders Kayla Okla and Julia Stephans, juniors Maddi Lambie and Mandy Loga and senior Kendra Lindl will be part of a reconstructed back line which will rotate as many as eight on and off the pitch.
The five defensemen are among 11 returnees that will attempt to win the Orioles' fourth WLT title since 2011. Hartford brings back the bulk of its scoring, with a pair of seniors accounting for 41 of the 54 returning tallies.
Three-time All-WLT senior forward Megan Zickert was runner-up as 2016 league player of the year after scoring 21 goals and dealing nine assists.
She was also named Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association All-State honorable mention and to the Daily News' All-County team.
