All students are invited to attend a FREE private screening of the film Science Fair on Thursday, December 6 at 3:00 PM in Drama Lecture. There will be popcorn!
Hailed by critics as "immensely likeable," "brilliant and quirky" and an "ode to the teenage science geeks on who our future depends," and winner of the audience award at Sundance and SXSW, National Geographic Documentary Films' Science Fair follows nine high school students from around the globe as they navigate rivalries, setbacks and, of course, hormones, on their journey to compete at The International Science and Engineering Fair.
As 1,700 of the smartest, quirkiest teens from 78 different countries face off, only one will be named Best in Fair. The film, from Fusion and Muck Media and directed by the DuPont Award-winning and Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaking team Cristina Costantini and Darren Foster, offers a front seat to the victories, defeats and motivations of an incredible group of young men and women who are on a path to change their lives, and the world, through science. Watch the trailer here: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/films/science-fair/

In the classroom
|
Students in Mrs. Ruiz' Spanish 2 classes have been learning about foods and beverages in Spanish speaking classes. On Friday, they learned about mate, a tea drink from Argentina and then had an opportunity to try it. On Monday, students built their own empanadas filled with ham and cheese and got to eat them in class on Tuesday.
Craig Beine, Jake Thomas and Tate Stoeckmann conducted a Sociology experiment as students entered the building Tuesday morning. Craig and Jake complimented people over a microphone as they exited the bus and entered the building. Once in the building,Tate asked them a series of questions about being complimented. Great way to enter the building!

Educational Spotlight -UW-Oshkosh Nursing Program
UW-Oshkosh is home to the largest nursing program in the state, with brand new facilities that opened in February 2016. Currently ranked in the top 2% of nursing programs in the country, UW-Oshkosh students may now apply and be admitted to the College of Nursing during one of three cohorts (fall, spring, and year-round) for maximum access. The nursing program boasts the highest NCLEX pass rate in the state (they boast 96% for first time test takers) and students are taught by faculty who are all in clinical practice.
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 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 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.
Seniors can talk to their English teachers for assistance or keep in mind there are peers available in the Writing Center in the LMC during Flex.
Junior Parent/Student Night
Mark your calendar!! Counselors will be holding a Junior Parent/Student Night presentation on Wednesday, January 9, at 6:00pm. Look for more information about this presentation in December.
Badger Boys/Girls State Program
Does your student have an interest in government and citizenship? Do they display qualities of leadership, good moral character, cooperativeness, dependability, and participate in co-curricular activities? Consider the Badger Boys or Girls State Program in June 2019. It's an exciting week of meeting new students, staying on a college campus, and experiencing dorm life. There's campaigning, pep rallies, State Fair, talent shows, recreational programs, music, discussion sessions, sports, etc. It's a sponsored event, so there's no cost to the participants. More information will be available in January.
Requirements: Student must be in the top half of his or her class; be a US Citizen; and able to participate in the entire week of activities.

Health Services
The Health Room is located in the Attendance Office and is staffed Monday through Friday from 6:45 a.m. until 3:15 p.m during the school year.
Please, remind your student that they always need to come to the Health Room with any health concerns and to not call, e-mail or text home to leave school. The Health Technician will always call the parent or emergency contact to arrange for the student to leave school when ill.
If a student talks, e-mails or texts their parent on their own and then they leave school without contacting a staff member and receiving a permit to leave, they are considered truant from school.

Boys & Girls Club Fundraiser
|
Below, please find information about the Boys & Girls Club of Washington County annual event, Taste of Washington County. The Hartford BGC has experienced significant growth over the past few years, serving a large number of area students and families. It provides a service to parents who may have to work beyond the end of the normal school day and don't want their children to go home to an empty house. It also provides a supervised environment where children can get their homework done, learn important life skills, and meet new friends. The BGC recently moved into Lincoln Elementary School, and now offers a morning and afterschool program. It's a great "night out," with lots of fun, people, eats, and beverages.

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.
