Thank you Financial Supporters.  Without you, this day would not be possible!


Mrs. Calderon's students in the 18-21 year old transition program participated in the Job Olympics at MATC in Mequon on May 30.  The Job Olympics allows students with disabilities to compete in job tasks and job skills against students from 12 other area high schools.  Each student competed in three different competitions.  The students are judged on appearance, specific job skills/tasks, eye contact, and social skills (greeting appropriately by shaking hands and introducing themselves).  Congratulations to the following HUHS participants who received an award!


The Bio Grant Challenge!
In preparing for their upcoming exams, several biology classes tackled the Bio Grant Challenge breakout in class on Friday. Using a digital, google-form style breakout activity, groups competed to be the first to solve all 7 challenges. Each challenge forced students to think about major concepts from throughout the semester in new ways, trying to find not only the an  swers, but how to use those answers to open their digital locks.


HUHS Students participated in Career Discovery on May 10 at FaB's Farm-Factory-Fork 2019. This year, students learned how a food or beverage product gets to a grocer or restaurant. From generating a product idea to making it and taking it to market, students met the industry professionals and companies who make it all happen from farm to factory to fork. In its fifth year, FaB's Farm-Factory- Fork Career Discovery offers juniors and seniors an impression-making career-based learning experience (CBLE) with Wisconsin's food and beverage companies and colleges and universities. It offers students and their schools a menu of ways to discover, plan, and pursue a career in the food and beverage industry from farm to factory to fork. 

Concordia University's Food Product Development program awarded a group of students whose product idea is determined to have the greatest potential with a $500 donation to their high school on behalf of Concordia University and FaB Wisconsin. 

        *Out of the 22 groups of students who submitted a product development idea, Oscar, Maddie and Jacob's  product development concept was chosen   as the winner by an external panel of experts from the food industry! 
        *Each of the students will be receiving a  $20.00 gift card and the high school will receive a check for $440.00.

Food Service Balances
Students with a negative balance during the last week of school (starting May 29) will not be allowed to charge any purchases; free meals can still be purchased. Negative meal account balances need to be cleared before final exams / graduation.  Graduates owing District fees, including meal charges, may be restricted from participating in the graduation ceremony. Account balances for students returning to HUHS will carry over to the next school year.

Food Service Refunds
Refund checks will be generated for inactive accounts (due to graduating or withdrawing from HUHS) if other district dues are not owed and if a sibling is not currently or will not be attending HUHS in Fall. If district fees are owed, the amount of the meal account refund will be applied toward that balance. If siblings are still attending or will be attending HUHS in Fall, the balance will remain in the account for them. Full-price accounts may opt to donate their refund to a donation meal account to assist students in need by contacting the Food Service Office  foodservice@huhs.org or (262) 670-3315.
Students -Interested in being in the medical field? HUHS offers a unique opportunity to gain hands on experience with injured athletes.

Health Services
MEASLES INFORMATION

Because measles has been in the news recently, and that a case was confirmed in Chicago, we have been proactive in getting measles information and have been in contact with the Washington/Ozaukee County Health Department.  
 
Some basic information:  Measles starts with fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and sore throat. That is followed by a rash that spreads over the body. Measles is highly contagious and spreads airborne through coughing and sneezing.  Nine out of ten people who are susceptible to get measles will contract the disease. 
 
If HUHS has one case of measles (one case is considereed an outbreak), the Washington/Ozaukee County Health Department will require the exclusion of students who have not been vaccinated due to waivers.  If a student at HUHS has not been vaccinated and has siblings that have not been vaccinated and an oubreak occurs at the siblings school, the HUHS student will also be excluded from school at HUHS for a minimum of 10 days.  This is also true if the situation is reversed and we have one case, the elementary school sibling/s would be excluded for 10 days, minimum.  The Health Department will also require HUHS staff to provide proof of immunity.  

If your child/ren have waivered the vaccines, the Health Department will mandate that your student cannot be at HUHS for a minimum of 10 days.  This would include all contact in the building, as well as co-curriculars (meetings, practices, events, etc.).  If a second outbreak would occur during that time, it could be longer than 10 days.  With families traveling this summer, it is a great time to get caught up if your child/ren have only had one vaccine or none at all.  
 
The Health Department strongly recommends that you are aware of this information and consider having your child vaccinated as soon as possible. You can contact your primary physician to either get a MMR booster, and/or a titer (blood test) to determine if your child/ren are immune.
 
More inf ormation is available from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC):  

Parents/staff/students can open an account and check immunization records through the Wisconsin Immunization Registry which began in 1995.   https://www.dhfswir.org/PR/portalHeader.do

2018-2019 Information

 


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.
