Senior Picture Requirements:
- Senior pictures are due JANUARY 6, 2017. Photos not turned in by this deadline will result in a $25.00 fine. Photos received after January 20, WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED in the 2016-17 yearbook
- Please email one digital file of your photograph to yearbook@huhs.org. It must be at least 2x3 inches at 300dpi. If you cannot send a digital file, we can digitize it, but this will reduce the quality from the original. Please name your file with your last name, _ , then your first name (example: doe_john.jpg). File types can be .jpg or .tiff
- Photos must be vertical color prints, with no props, no pets, no hats, and have a simple background. Dress needs to be school appropriate. Remember, the pictures in our yearbook are small, so ideally the photo should show just the head and shoulders. We want to maximize your face size.
- Many local photographers have these deadlines and may the send the photo for you if you ask. Please understand that your photographer will need probably 6 weeks or more to get photos done. This means you should have your pictures taken by the middle of November to get them done with enough time to spare.
- We cannot accept prints from a Laser or inkjet home computer printer.
Any students who do not turn in senior pictures will have their HUHS school picture published in the yearbook.
If you have any questions, contact me, Ms. Jana Danay, yearbook adviser, at either

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women in the U.S. The good news is rates are dropping since 2000 because fewer women are taking hormone therapy for menopause. Please remember to get a yearly well woman exam along with monthly breast exams and screening mammograms. Here are the CDC recommendations and information on breast cancer which also has links on how to get a reduced cost or no cost mammogram and other female exams.

2. Should HUHS be a destination school and school district?
3. What do you expect from the District and its Leadership
(Board and Administration)?
Please come and join us to address these important issues with an open discussion! If you are unable to attend this month, but would like to make sure that you save the date for future "Oriole Chatter" please note the upcoming dates:

Freshmen Conferences
HUHS counselors
have begun to schedule conferences with freshmen students. The purpose of the conference is for counselors to get to know students on an academic and personal level, as well as to begin a discussion about future career plans.
HUHS counselors believe in forming and cultivating strong relationships with students so that we can best serve them during their high school career. Counselors will meet with students during a 45-minute period, making every effort to schedule students during a course period where they are excelling. Students will be notified of their conference time one day in advance. If you have any questions, please contact your child's counselor.

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 various 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 Essays/Statements: How to begin?
How do I begin? What should I say in my essay/statement? Is it OK to use the same material on different applications? If this sounds like your senior, an English teacher is available in the Writing Center located in Room 101 to assist students with the essay/statement during Flex every day. No appointment necessary!
|
Save the Date: Financial Aid Presentation - UPDATE!
Financial Aid is provided for by the federal government, the State of Wisconsin, outside scholarship sources, and the college/universities themselves. Most aid is based on financial need and is designed to help meet the difference between the cost of college and the student and family's ability to pay for the education.
HUHS will be hosting a presentation for college-bound students and their parents to learn about grants, loans, student employment, and scholarships on
Wednesday, December 14, at 6:00pm in the Cafeteria. A speaker from Great Lakes Higher Education will be here to discuss the process of how families finance college costs through all the available options. Senior students and parents should plan to attend!
The new federal changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) means the class of 2017 will be the first cohort of students who can apply for financial aid starting this month (October 1). Parents and students will use 2015 tax data. It is anticipated that estimated financial aid awarding will begin in January of 2017.

We said goodbye to 12 seniors who have been a giant influence on our teams for 4 years leaving their marks in the pool, school and conference records. Their leadership and dedication will be difficult to replace but they have set great examples to follow athletically, academically and in character. Two new pool records were set. The first in 200 Medley relay that WB West set. The second was by Olivia Meinberg re-breaking the 200 IM record she set earlier in the season. Bring on the Championship Meets!
