PSAT/NMSQT TEST FOR JUNIORS
College-bound juniors may wish to consider taking the PSAT/NMSQT, which is the best preparation for the SAT and entry into the National Merit Scholarship Corporation programs. It is an optional exam that measures reading, writing and language, and math skills developed over many years that are important for success in college. Students do not have to recall facts from literature, history, science or math formulas, as this test measures reasoning and critical thinking skills.
All students who take the PSAT/NMSQT will receive an official score report. They will receive scores in critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills and will see how their scores compare to those of other students across the country. Students will be able to see which answers they got right or wrong. They will also receive information about how they performed on specific academic skills.
Students who take the test will receive personalized online SAT practice through Khan Academy based on their test performance. Learn more at collegeboard.org/psat.
Registration for the PSAT is due Friday, October 6, at 3:00pm in the Student Services Office. The cost for the PSAT is $20 and checks should be made payable to HUHS. The exam will be given on Wednesday, October 11, from 7:25am to 11:35am. At the time of registration, students will be given a student guide that includes test-taking help and a full-length practice test. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Student Services Office at 670-3200, ext. 214, or
sue.bell@huhs.org.

ACT TESTING - 2017-18
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:
October 28, 2017 December 9, 2017 February 10, 2018

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.

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.

NAMI - Mental Health Conference
Mental Illness Awareness Week Program
"Is my moody teen just being a teenager, or is there something else going on?" This is a question many parents ask themselves. NAMI Washington County's Mental Illness Awareness Week Program will address those concerns. This free program is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 3, at the Maurin Center, Lac Lawrann, 300 Schmidt Road, in West Bend. The target audience is parents, grandparents, and other caregivers of school-aged children and teens.
Attendees will learn common warning signs of mental health conditions that can arise during the upper elementary through high school years. They will learn why addressing a child's mental health early matters, the risks of not intervening, how to partner with schools, resources available through the schools, and resources through NAMI. A mother and her daughter will present their personal stories of how the daughter developed a severe mental illness while in high school. They will relate how they partnered with the schools to help the young woman to not only recover but to succeed in high school. A resource person from the West Bend Schools will also be available.

| Hartford Remains Undefeated! |
SLINGER - A low, knuckling 34-yard field goal was the difference in the Slinger-Hartford Union rivalry on the gridiron this year. With 8:21 left in the third q u a r t e r , Hartford Union freshman kicker A.J. Arndt lined up at the 24-yard line of Slinger, in hopes of giving his team a three-point advantage.
His kick cleared the crossbar by a foot or two and was the difference as the Orioles beat their rivals, 24-21, on Friday in Slinger.
Hartford is 4-0 and matches it's best start since the 2008 season.
"Two weeks in a row we've had to come from behind," Hartford coach John Redders said referencing last week's game against West Bend East. "that shows the resolve of our kids. they don't like to lose. ... The deck has been shuffled (in the NSC) and I'm proud of our kids for the 4-0 start. The last two have been tests."
With Slinger driving near the red zone late in the game, and
trailing by three points, Hartford's Jacob Pepin sealed the victory when he intercepted a pass by Slinger's Tyler Evans.
"The defense has been tremendous," Redders said. "They've done a good job adjusting. We preach to the kids all the time, when telling them to watch games - don't just watch for the big plays, truly study it." Click here to read full article

Boys Volleyball

HARTFORD - As with every match, there were moments and spurts Hartford Union coach Terry Wick will point to as progress
Wednesday night against Nicolet.
There are still many, many more miscues - which he and players acknowledge - but they are becoming fewer and far between for the Orioles boys.
"We've been playing and practicing hard, but half the people, more than half the people, this is their first volleyball since PE," sophomore outside hitter Seth Rupert. "We're having to teach passing, serving, hitting again. I feel like so far, we're doing OK."
The Orioles dropped a 25-21, 25-14, 25-17 match to the Knights (5-2-3, 3-0 North Shore Conference), and fell to 5-7, 0-2 in conference.

| Soccer - Late Breaking Victory on Tuesday - Defeating Slinger on Thursday! |
 After 80 minutes of scoreless soccer, something had to give.
Either West Bend East was finally going to capitalize off of its stout defensive effort, or Hartford Union was going to finally connect on a shot after several missed chances. It was the latter, and the Orioles scored a flurry of goals in the final 10 minutes and walked away with a 3-0 North Shore Conference road victory Tuesday.
"We played that like it was practice," Hartford coach Jack De Selm said of his team's first-half play. "They were satisfied with just passing the ball and not necessarily putting the ball in the net. They weren't necessarily attacking. They didn't come out like they did the last four games.
"I think they underestimated
East."
East (3-5-1, 0-3) continued to turn away Hartford's chances near the goal. It played out exactly how East coach Scott Hall wanted it to for much of the match.
"Our strategy against Hartford, which was more skilled, was to keep our shape and play good (defense)," Hall said. "We wanted to frustrate them and hopefully get one in (for a goal)."
East didn't have a good look in the first half, but found more opportunities in the second.

Girls Swimmimg Fun!
|
It's one thing to talk about the importance of nutrition in keeping an athlete's body & mind fueled and healthy. It's another to live it. The girls swim team was given a challenge on a grocery store field trip last Saturday: find a healthy snack and/or drink that will fuel you at the day's meet. It was great to hear teammates discussing the merits of dried fruit vs trail mix, or talking one out of visiting the candy aisle. They all earned a passing grade (and satisfied smiles all afternoon!).

Key dates for the Junior Class of 2019
|
|
Seniors - CLASS OF 2018
|
It's always important to ready your email, but for Seniors it critical as there are many due dates associated with Graduation and Senior Year. Transcripts, Scholarships and Graduation details are just some of the things to watch for. Here are some key dates for the Class of 2018!
Senior Photo Deadlines/Requirements
The Deadline for Senior Pictures for the Class of 2018 will be NOVEMBER 1, 2017!
Due to the yearbook being delivered in the Spring, the Senior Picture deadline will be on November 1, 2017. It is important to note that this is much earlier than in years past!
Click here to see the senior photos that have been submitted.
Senior Photo Requirements
- 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.
