| Culinary Arts - Tailgate Challenge |
Culinary Arts III students participated in our 4th Annual Tailgate Challenge last Friday night! Due to inclement weather, the event was held inside of our main lobby, rather than at Gib Mahr Field. The event, which was graciously sponsored by Angee B'z restaurant, consisted of twenty students preparing delicious, fancy pre-game appetizers. Culinary Arts IV students ran and oversaw the event as a part of their managerial experience.

SENIOR PICTURES DUE NOVEMBER 1
|
-
Senior pictures are due November 1, 2017. Photos not turned in by this deadline will result in a $25.00 fine. Photos received after November 15, WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED in the 2017-18 yearbook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
-
DO NOT SEND IN a screenshot of your senior picture from your photographer, if at all possible, have your photographer send the photo to prevent losing any quality!
-
Photos must be vertical color prints, with 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 September 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 (WHICH DOES NOT RESULT IN ANY KIND OF FEE)

Teacher and Parent Communication
|
HUHS has and will continue to stress the importance of both parents monitoring Family Access and teacher-parent communication. While we do expect teachers to be in contact with the parents of struggling students, we also want to ensure that parents take advantage of the 24/7 availability of their student's grades and academic progress in Skyward. If there is a question or concern, parents are strongly encouraged to initiate teacher contact. While calling a teacher is absolutely okay, emailing the teacher is usually the best way to start the conversation. On a few occasions, we have had some parent emails go into a teacher's SPAM folder due to our school's email filter. In order to ensure timely communication is happening, we want all parents to know that they should receive a teacher's reply, to at least acknowledge the receipt of the email,
within 24 hours
from the time it was sent. If more than 24 hours lapses, please follow up with a phone call to the teacher in the rare instance that the original email did end up in SPAM.

In Search of Volunteer Opportunities

GEDO2 is a program at HUHS for students who are credit deficient, but have chosen an alternate route to prove competency in their school subjects so they can graduate on time. Several of these students are in need of community service/volunteer hours to complete their requirements. They could do many types of things from raking lawns to shredding/filing papers. If you have an opportunity for one of these students, please contact
Jamie Piittmann . She will be coordinating the students.

Online Payment Fees Waived All Year!
|
After reviewing the data and receiving input from users (YOU!), the District has decided to waive the fee for online payments for this school year. You may recall, that the District was only going to waive the fee for August and September. The company we work with charges a 3.49% fee for processing the payments. The District will pick up this cost moving forward. A number of parents told us that they would not pay that fee and would send checks to the school instead. We encourage you to continue to use RevTrak to pay fees and to add to your child's food service account. Thank you!

SAVE THE DATE: FINANCIAL AID PRESENTATION
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, November 1 at 6:30pm. A speaker from Moraine Park Technical College 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!

All students considering a two or four-year college experience are reminded to take the ACT test during their junior year. Students can register for the ACT at
www.actstudent.org. When registering, students will need the HUHS school code, which is 500-850. Please remember to check the website to see if the college(s) your son or daughter is considering requires or recommends the ACT writing test. The test fee for the ACT is $46.00 and the ACT with writing is $62.50. If you feel you cannot afford the test fee, please ask your child's counselor if you are eligible for a fee waiver.
HUHS is an ACT test center for all testing dates (except February 10). The test dates for the 2017-2018 school year are:
December 9, 2017 February 10, 2018

Note: Please keep in mind all juniors are required by state law to take the ACT at the high school on February 27 (no cost to the student on February 27). When considering whether or not to sign up to take the February 10 or April 14 ACT, it may be best for students to take the February 27 test, then decide whether or not to retake the test in June or July based upon February results.

Does your senior
have everything they need to make one of the most important decisions of their lives?

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.
If you'd like help with your college essay, Mrs. Carter or Mr. Dobberstein are available in the Writing Center during 5th and 6th period. Mr. Schliewe is available during Resource on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in Room 84. All three are English teachers.

| Orioles Knock Off Blue Dukes |
 In Level 1 of the upcoming WIAA football playoffs, three county teams will face their opponents for a second time this season.
All Level 1 games are held at 7 p.m. Friday.
In Division 2, No. 6 West Bend East (4-5 North Shore Conference) will play at No. 3 Hartford Union (7-2 NSC).
"We're excited to be back in the playoffs," Hartford coach John Redders said of making back-toback trips. "The brackets ... you never know what's going to happen. There were far more teams at .500 in conference or under, so it was anybody's guess."
In Week 3, Hartford beat East, 26-21, in West Bend.
"We had the halftime lead and didn't play so well in the second half. It was our first loss of the season," East coach Jeff Rondorf said. "It was a tough loss, but the guys are excited for the chance to face them again."
Redders sees both good and bad
of playing a conference opponent in Level 1.
"I think it can be argued either
way," Redders said. "You're familiar with the team ... but it can be anti-climatic, as some would argue.
I would've had no problem playing another team. Anytime you can get on the field though, it's worth it. We'll take it."
Reminder to ORIOLE FANS
Entry into a WIAA playoff game is $5.00 A student ID, HUHS activity pass, HUHS Booster passes and being over 60 does not allow free access to WIAA playoff games.
All tickets for this Fridays game
against West Bend East will be $
5.00 for both adults, student/children and staff!

| Volleyball Sweeps Oshkosh West |
HARTFORD - If first-round jitters were happening on Hartford Union's side, it may have been hard to tell
Thursday. The No. 7 seed Orioles defended their home court during a WIAA Division 1 regional semifinal match against No. 10 seed Oshkosh West with a 25-22, 25-12, 25-20 win.
"I think we had the jitters a little bit in the first," Hartford coach Taylor Edmonds said. "We played (West) this weekend and know what we were capable of. The girls were excited for the playoffs and we have a large group of seniors.
"I calmed them down and said we have to play like how we do. Then things went smoothly."
Hartford had the lead most of the way through the first set, but
West tied it at 16.
The Orioles used three blocks by Alivia Marks to grab a 20-17 edge. Abby Hamilton had two kills late in the set and Sydney Nienhaus ended the set with a kill. Click here to read the full article.
