Congratualstion to Mrs. Herrmann - Teacher of the Year
|
HUHS is proud to announce this years Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Katie Herrmann, an English Teacher and National Board Certified Educator. Mrs. Herrmann, a proud Minnesota native, was raised in the Twin Cities where she developed her love for the outdoors, animals, adventure, and all things literature. Some day - maybe when her daughter goes away to college - she hopes to return to this cosmopolitan, nostalgic utopia that so profoundly impressed itself upon her. Mrs. Herrmann
met her husband, Michael, in college, and then moved to the Milwaukee area after graduation, where she attended graduate school at UW-Milwaukee. Since then, they've made Hartford their home and have created a tiny little family, consisting of their 12-year-old daughter, Noelle, who is - pardon the cliched phrase - nothing other than their pride and joy. They also have a crazy dog, Lillie, and a lazy horse, Libby, who both take up a lot of their time (and money!). For fun, they like to spend time at their cabin in Northern Minnesota, where they hike, kayak, search for wildlife, and tell hair-raising stories around the campfire at night. Mrs. Herrmann was inspired to become a teacher by her parents, both of whom loved spending time with and entertaining children. Needless to say, she was lucky to have had remarkable role models who showed her the importance of finding the good in all people.
The students and staff are lucky to have an outstanding teacher like Mrs. Herrmann, congratulations!!

Parents of Juniors

For Parents of Juniors: ACT And ACT WorkKeys Test Results
All juniors at HUHS took the ACT and ACT WorkKeys tests in early-March and you might be asking, "When will I see my child's scores, and what do the scores mean?" The following information aims to answer these questions for you.
ACT Results
Most students have already received a printed score report in the mail directly from ACT. If not, you can expect to see it in the mail within the next few weeks. The timeframe given by ACT is 3-8 weeks after testing.
The maximum possible composite score on the ACT is a 36.
Students can log on to
www.actstudent.org
to access a variety of services through an ACT web account. If a student needs to create a new account, the student must enter the ACT ID from the printed score report to view the state scores. If a student has an existing account from a national test date, their state scores will be matched to their existing account. Scores will be available online about one week after the examinee receives the printed score report in the mail. ACT student services department is the best source of information on student web accounts and can be reached at
319.337.1270
.
HUHS will also post scores in each student's Skyward Family Access account when all scores become available to us.
ACT WorkKeys Results
ACT also provides us a printed score report for each student who took the ACT WorkKeys, which we will make available to you once we receive them. Students' reports and scores will be posted in their Skyward Family Access accounts.
The score report provides a Level Score and a Scale Score for each of the three tests taken: Applied Mathematics, Locating Information, and Reading for Information. The Scale Score, with a range of 50-90 points, is primarily used to measure growth, while the Level Score is used for high-stakes purposes, including the opportunity for students to qualify for the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC). Certificate levels and eligibility are as follows:
- Bronze: Level Score of at least 3 on all three tests
- Silver: Level Score of at least 4 on all three tests
- Gold: Level Score of at least 5 on all three tests
- Platinum: Level Score of at least 6 on all three tests
More information about the ACT WorkKeys scores and the National Career Readiness Certificate can be found online at
www.act.org/workkeys.
Students can create an online account at
http://www.act.org/certificate/account.html
. This site will allow students to access scores, share the NCRC electronically for free, allow employers to verify NCRC details, and order additional printed National Career Readiness Certificates and transcripts for a fee. It is recommended that students wait to do this until they get their score letters which will contain their User ID to avoid the possibility of duplicate records. A tutorial can be found at:
http://www.act.org/certificate/pdf/PreCreatedAccount.pdf
.

Represent Your College Day
|
May 1st is known as National College Decision Day, as it is often the deadline for students to make deposits to attend the college of their choice. In recognition of the National Day of deciding education choices after high school, we are asking Seniors to take part in "represent your college day" on Friday April 29th. So if you don't have something already, get yourself some college wear to represent your choice and wear it on the 29th.
