Attention Seniors
|
|
EVERY student at HUHS has health/immunization records in the Health Office located in Attendance. Because you are graduating, HUHS no longer needs these records and you will need them for college, jobs or travel. Please be sure to stop in to the Health Office to pick up your records as soon as possible.

ACT Work Keys Test Date Change
Juniors will take the regular ACT at HUHS on Wednesday, February 20 as part of the statewide administration; however, the administration date for the ACT Work Keys has changed: juniors will take the ACT Work Keys exam on Wednesday, March 13.
The ACT exam days can be stressful and trying. We are moving the ACT Work Keys exam to March so that students do not have two testing days back-to-back. Our goal is to have juniors rested and rejuvenated for both exams.
In addition, DPI will be including both the ACT exam and the Work Keys exam as part of the annual School Report Card score. It is important that students are focused and ready to do their very best on both exams.

Seniors
Does your senior have everything they need to make one of the most important decisions of their lives?
Students who apply early to college are in a better position to capture financial aid and make important decisions that impact their college applications.
Seniors should be applying to post-secondary institutions if they haven't already begun to do so. Apply online to any University of Wisconsin campus
At Apply.wisconsin.edu. Information on Wisconsin private colleges/universities can be found online at
www.wisconsinsprivatecolleges.org
Wisconsin technical college information will be found at
www.witechcolleges.org
These websites are designed to be primary resources for easy access and information about the colleges, academics, degrees, athletics, and so much more!! Don't delay in applying because housing and scholarship opportunities are often connected with admission. Remember:
College Application Tip
Save the speech. Tell the tale. No need to stress out about the college application essay or be nervous if you think of it as a conversation or a story about yourself. You aren't giving a speech to thousands of people but someone in the Admissions Office who really wants to hear it! The essay is a story that means something to you and if you are able to convey that meaning to Admissions, you've done the job.
Seniors can talk to their English teachers for assistance or keep in mind there are peers available in the Writing Center in the LMC during Flex.
Badger Boys/Girls State Program
Does your student have an interest in government and citizenship? Do they display qualities of leadership, good moral character, cooperativeness, dependability, and participate in co-curricular activities? Consider the Badger Boys or Girls State Program. It's an exciting week of meeting new students, staying on a college campus, and experiencing dorm life. There's campaigning, pep rallies, State Fair, talent shows, recreational programs, music, discussion sessions, sports, etc. It's a sponsored event, so there's no cost to the participants.
Requirements: Student must be in the top half of his or her class; be a US Citizen; and able to participate in the entire week of activities.
The Girls State Program is the week of June 16-21, 2019, on the UW-Oshkosh campus. The Boys State Program is the week of June 8-15, 2019, on the Ripon College campus. You must be able to attend the entire session. If you are interested in the program, please check your calendar for availability.
If you would like to be considered for this prestigious opportunity, you must submit a short statement to the Student Services Office by Friday, February 15. The statement should be typed and answer the following question: How will attending Badger State help me to make a difference in my community? Please include a list of co-curricular activities and any office held.
A selection committee will evaluate the statement, activities, class rank, etc., and determine which 2 girls and 3 boys will represent HUHS this summer. Students will be notified accordingly.
If you would like more information about the programs, please go to either:
Educational Spotlight - Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin
Students can study and experience music through many different ways at Lawrence, whether it is in the Bachelor of Music program, Bachelor of Arts in Music program, the flagship double-degree Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor Music program, or simply performing in ensembles while pursuing a non-music major. No matter what a student's musical and academic goals are, Lawrence will work to help achieve them all.

Health Services
The Health Room is located in the Attendance Office and is staffed Monday through Friday from 6:45 a.m. until 3:15 p.m during the school year.
Please, remind your student that they always need to come to the Health Room with any health concerns and to not call, e-mail or text home to leave school. The Health Technician will always call the parent or emergency contact to arrange for the student to leave school when ill.
If a student talks, e-mails or texts their parent on their own and then they leave school without contacting a staff member and receiving a permit to leave, they are considered truant from school.
Be prepared to stay safe and healthy with the upcoming cold weather.
Winter storms and cold temperatures can be dangerous. Prepare your home and cars and prepare for power outages and outdoor activity with some tips from the CDC:

New This Year - Clubs & Activities Online Registration
Starting for the 2018-19 school year, all students wishing to participate in activities, clubs or sports will need to complete the Online Forms through Skyward Family/Student access.
All steps need to be marked as completed including step #8 "SUBMIT SY19 ATHLETIC/CO-CURRICULAR FORMS". Online Forms only need to be completed once per school year, so if a student participates in a sport as well as a club or activity the Online Forms only need to complete once.
If the student is only participating in an activity or club but will not be participating in a sport, they may mark step 3 complete and do not need to have a Physical Clearance Form completed by their Physician.
Once the online forms have been completed, the student will then need to pick up an "Orange Card" from the Co-Curricular Office clearing them to participate in their activity or club. Activity/Club organizers will inform students of this change at the first sign up meeting and collect the orange cards before the next regularly scheduled meeting.
