Parent & Community Survey
Hartford Union High School (HUHS) recently completed a strategic planning process which involved a team of 30 stakeholders. This group reviewed school performance data, participated in focus groups and then developed the following goals:
Goal #1: Career, College, and Life Readiness Achievement
Students will meet Career, College and Life Readiness Achievement benchmarks.
Goal #2: HUHS will be viewed as the community's "high school of choice"
HUHS will be viewed as the community's "high school of choice."
Goal #3: Engagement of All Stakeholders
HUHS will increase each stakeholder group's engagement and satisfaction.
Goal #4: Master Facilities Plan
Develop a master facility plan for the school buildings and grounds.
Using these goals as a planning framework, we are seeking your input on this community-wide survey to help us answer three important questions:
1) What are we doing well?
2) Where do we need to adjust and focus more resources?
3) What are our highest priorities?
Survey results will be presented at a School Board meeting this summer and will also be available on the District website. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.

Cohort Attends 2019 World Food Prize Wisconsin Institute
Recently, Cohort students participated in the World Food Prize, Wisconsin Institute. According to their website, "The World Food Prize is the foremost international honor recognizing -- without regard to race, religion, nationality, or political beliefs -- the achievements of individuals who have advanced human development by improving the quality, quantity or availability of food in the world." Our Cohort students became involved in February as the Wisconsin Coordinator, Plia Xiong, stopped in to kick off the experience.
The four Cohort teachers then mentored Cohort students as they picked a country and topic relating to food security within that country. Bill Schliewe, Cohort English 9 teacher, used this as an opportunity to teach research and how to write a research paper. By the end of March, each student completed a research paper that focused on issues with food security as well as potential solutions within their country. These research papers were submitted to The World Food Prize in Iowa for scoring.
31 Cohort students then had the opportunity to present their research in a small group setting at UW Madison's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Typically 6-7 students and two experts in their field sat in a round table setting while each student presented their research. Students were then tasked with asking questions of each other to expand the conversation. Each student was scored on their presentation and questioning abilities. We were so impressed with our HUHS students' poise and confidence in talking about their research. These are skills that will benefit our students long after their freshman year and even into the workplace.
The day also included students hearing from a keynote speaker from the The World Food Prize, touring the campus, and attending an immersion session relating to a topic of choice. Overall the students took away many great experiences and an excitement about how they can impact the world. After scores from their paper and presentation are calculated, three students from the Wisconsin Institute will be selected to represent the state at the Global Youth Institute next fall. In addition, each student received a certificate naming them a Borlaug Scholar, which makes them eligible for scholarships and opportunities to travel the world working on behalf of The World Food Prize.

Child Care & Contemporary Literature Classes Collaborate
|
|
Students in Ms. Piskula's Child Care class and Mr. Dobberstein's Contemporary Literature classes collaborated to create a memorable learning experience last week. Child Care students applied speaking, listening, and interpersonal skills as they performed a reading of
Tattle Tale ,
part of a fictional series of Amazing Amy books referenced in the novel Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Students in Contemporary Literature classes then analyzed the performance of the text for subtle messages that could help or harm young children like Amy Dunne, a central character in Gone Girl. Students in both classes left with a better understanding of their roles as future professionals, parents, and critical readers!

Seniors Attending a University of Wisconsin School in the Fall
After students are admitted to a UW campus, they are invited to participate in Regional Placement Testing. Students find out their appropriate level of math, English, and foreign language to begin in college as a result of taking the tests.
Students register online
for Regional Placement Testing beginning February 1. Regional Placement Testing allows students to take the test close to where they live so they don't need to travel to the campus they'd like to attend. Also, students need to register for only one placement test even if they have been admitted to different UW campuses or if they change their mind about which UW campus to attend. All UW campuses have access to each student's scores.
Students should be intentional when selecting a site and date. Students can change or cancel their registrations. However, it's often difficult to do so because popular sites fill quickly and changing is impossible after registration deadlines pass.
There are two options for taking the placement tests. Students may register for paper exams or computer-based exams. The exams, questions, and timing are the same, although there are additional fees for the computer-based exam. The computer-based exam provides an on-screen scientific calculator-no other calculator will be allowed during the computer-based exam.
A driver's license, state-issued ID, passport, or high school ID containing name and photo may serve as the student's identification at the testing site.
This is the schedule for testing day (all times are approximate):
|
Seating, orientation, and math testing
|
8:00 - 10:00 a.m.
|
|
Break
|
10:00 - 10:10 a.m.
|
|
English testing
|
10:10 - 11:50 a.m.
|
|
Break
|
11:50 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
|
|
Dismissal of those not taking a foreign language test, followed by foreign language testing
|
12:00 - 1:00 p.m.
|
Placement test scores are shared with students when they participate in their summer orientation and registration session. It's important for students to take the placement tests in the spring so that the results are ready for summer registration, since some campuses do not allow students to register for classes until they can see the test results.
The Wisconsin Lions Camp
The camp is looking for campers and staff to join them this summer. Staff applications available are for counselors, program specialists, healthcare staff, counselors-in-training, and volunteers. Applications, camp schedule, and information are all available at:

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.
