Cherokee Heights Middle School Escuela Intermedia de Cherokee Heights Spring 2012 - Primavera 2012 From the Principal…. Summer School Information Frequently Asked Questions 2012 Monday through Friday, June 18 – July 27 (no classes July 4) • How will my child get to and from summer school? Transportation will be provided within each summer school attendance area for those students who live more than 1.5 miles from the summer school site. Pickup and drop off sites will be at corner stops, not door to door. The bus stop for summer school may not be the same as the bus stop your child uses during the school year. If you live outside of the Summer School attendance areas, no transportation will be provided unless your child is participating in one of the specialized programs (Bilingual or 8th grade promotion). The bus routine takes a few days to establish. Your child may arrive home late from Summer School the first three days. • Can we have different pick up and drop off sites? Yes; however, for MMSD to transport, the drop off site must be within the attendance areas of the schools that feed into the summer school site. If not, you must provide your own transportation to your child’s afternoon drop off site. MMSD requires that the child have the same pick up or drop off address for the entire 6 weeks of summer school. Please include the details on the enrollment form showing the morning address and a different afternoon address. My child will be living at a different address in the district this summer (or we will be moving in June). Where should my child attend summer school? Your child could attend the summer school site where they are living during the summer and MMSD will provide transportation if the address is more than 1.5 miles from that site. Alternatively, your child may attend summer school at the site based on where you are currently living; you would have to provide transportation. Please fill out the transportation section on the enrollment form based on your summer address. • My child has an IEP and meets summer school criteria. What level of support will he/she receive during the summer? Due to the voluntary nature of ELSS, the district does not implement Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students with disabilities and is unable to offer the same level of support your child receives during the school year. However, the district will provide reasonable accommodations based on the unique needs of your child to participate in the ELSS program. Eligibility for the ELSS program is based on academic criteria. Extended School Year (ESY) services are different than Extended Learning Summer School (ELSS). ESY is an extension of the student’s IEP. Noelle Sapiro coordinates the summer ESY program (663-8485). • Grades 4 - 6: My child is eligible for one academic class. Can he/she take the other academic class even if he/she doesn’t qualify? Students in grades 4 – 6, who qualify for attendance in one academic area, will automatically be enrolled into an available enrichment course. • • Who do I contact for more information about summer school if I still have questions ?Summer School • information line 663-1914 or [email protected] Cherokee Heights Middle School Escuela Intermedia de Cherokee Heights Spring 2012 - Primavera 2012 • Is there a website that I can find out more information ? https://deelweb.madison.k12.wi.us/node/107 • MSCR AFTERNOON RECREATIONAL PROGRAM AT SUMMER SCHOOL SITE (SREC) You may enroll your child in the Summer Recreation & Enrichment Center (SREC) program at the summer school site your child will attend. The program runs from 12-4 p.m., and includes lunch, afternoon snack and a variety of recreation and enrichment activities (outdoor and large group games, science, art, music and more). Students who live more than 1.5 miles from the summer school site will be transported home. The program ends when summer school ends on July 27. Please select this option on your enrollment form if you would like your child to attend both the morning programming and MSCR in the afternoon. For more information on the elementary MSCR afternoon programs (SREC programs), contact Michelle Borkovec, MSCR Pre-K and SREC Program Coordinator, at 204-4583. • Is there an afternoon program for my middle school child? You may enroll your child in an MSCR Youth Resource Center (YRC). This program includes lunch and ends at 4 p.m. Students who live more than 1.5 miles from the summer school site will be transported home. Please select this option on your enrollment form if you would like your child to attend YRC programming. YRC programs are available until July 27. Afternoon recreational programs are available to all middle school students as outlined in the grid below. Some students will be transported from their summer school site to the afternoon MSCR recreation site and then transported home. You may choose to pick up your child at 12:00 noon and not participate in lunch or the afternoon program. There will be a place on the enrollment form to make this choice. For more information on middle school afternoon programs, contact Ian Hannah at 204-3052. Morning summer school site Afternoon MSCR recreation site Hamilton ?

Información de Escuela de Verano Preguntas más frecuentes de 2012 De lunes a viernes, desde el 18 de junio – 27 de julio (No habrá clase el 4 de julio) ¿Como ira y llegara de la escuela a mi casa, hijo/a durante la escuela de verano? El transporte será proporcionado dentro de cada área de asistencia a la escuela de verano para aquellos estudiantes que viven más de 1.5 millas de la escuela de verano. Los puntos de recogida y regreso serán en las paradas de la esquina, no de puerta en puerta. La parada de autobús para la escuela de verano puede que no sea la misma parada de autobús que su hijo/a usa durante el año escolar. Si usted vive fuera de las áreas de asistencia de la escuela de verano, no se proveerá transportación a menos que su hijo/a este participando en uno de los programas especializados (la promoción de grado bilingüe u octavo grado). La ruta del autobús tarda unos cuantos días para que se establezcas. Puede que su hijo/a llegue a casa tarde de la Escuela de Verano los primeros días. ¿Podemos tener diferentes sitios de recoger y dejar? Si, sin embargo, para que MMSD transporte, el regreso debe estar dentro del área de asistencia de las escuelas de veranos. Si no, usted debe proporcionar su propio transporte por la tarde a donde desea. MMSD requiere que su hijo/a tenga la misma dirección por las seis semanas de escuela de verano de recoger y dejar. Por favor, incluya los detalles en el formulario de la inscripción que muestra la dirección de la mañana y la dirección de regreso por la tarde si es diferente a la de la mañana.

Su hijo/a puede asistir a la escuela de verano donde ellos están viviendo durante el verano y MMSD proveerá la transportación si la dirección es más de 1.5 millas de ese sitio. Por otra parte, su hijo/a puede asistir a la escuela de verano en el sitio en función de donde viven actualmente, usted tendría que proporcionar el transporte. Por favor llene la sección de transporte en el formulario de inscripción sobre la base de su dirección de verano. Mi hijo tiene un IEP (Plan de Educación Individualizado) y cumple los criterios de la escuela de verano. ¿Que nivel de apoyo él/ella recibirá durante el verano? Debido a la naturaleza voluntaria de ELSS, el distrito no implementa Programas de Plan de Educación Individualizada (IEP) para estudiantes con discapacidades y no pueden ofrecer el mismo nivel de apoyo que su hijo/a recibe durante el año escolar. Sin embargo, el distrito proveerá ajustes razonables basados en las necesidades únicas de su hijo/a a participar en el programa de ELSS. La elegibilidad para el programa de ELSS se basa en criterios académicos. El Año Escolar Extendido (AEE) es diferente a la Escuela de Verano de aprendizaje extendido (ELSS). AEE es una extensión del IEP del estudiante. Noelle Sapiro coordina el programa de ESY en el verano (663-8485). Grados 4-6: Mi hijo es elegible para una clase académica. ¿Puede él/ella tomar otras clases académicas, incluso si él/ella no cumple los requisitos? Los estudiantes en los grados 4-6, que cualifiquen para asistir en las áreas académica, serán matriculados automáticamente en clases disponibles de enriquecimiento. ¿Con quien puedo ponerme en contacto acerca de escuela de verano si aun tengo mas preguntas? Con la línea de Información de Escuela de Verano al 663-1914 o [email protected] ¿Existe alguna página donde puedo encontrar más información?

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, the March 13 Show rocked the house. As temperatures soared outside, students soared inside, entertaining family and friends with their favorite monologues, dialogues and skits. The shortest piece was 30 seconds; the longest piece was twelve minutes! Fifty-four students’ lives were transformed as they took to the stage and stretched their acting abilities. What an extraordinary night it was! Many people deserve to be thanked: all parents and family members as well as staff in attendance and performing students, the gracious, supportive audience, and Overture for allowing us to perform at this wonderful venue. In addition, I thank Ms. Cohen, microphone helper extraordinaire, Ms. Holt, our still photographer, Mr. Hamann, our cameraman, and last but not least, Brandon Hasz who comes early and stays late to set up our sound system, do the sound work during the program and take it down at the end. Thanks, too, to all cast members and all students in attendance as well as those who couldn’t make it but who have made my quarter a delight. How lucky I am to be your teacher. You all rock! The next Nighttime Drama is Wednesday, May 30th, 2012, Overture’s Rotunda Stage, 201 State Street. We hope to see you there! Fourth quarter students will surprise you! ~ Ms. Hamann Have trouble remembering someone's phone number? Your locker combination? Just ask Julian Garcia how it's done. Julian broke the Cherokee Heights record by memorizing 137 digits of pi in honor of pi day, March 14th. Ask your student to tell you where pi comes from, but if you want to know the 137th digit of pi, ask Julian.

Due to a lack of sufficient seating space and crowded conditions in the past, there is an attendance limit of two family members only. Each eighth grader will be issued two tickets for two family members to attend the ceremony. This practice has worked well over the past few years, and has made the special event safe for everyone. Questions about this procedure can be directed to Rick Reynolds at 204-1250.

Por vía de correo electrónico a [email protected] o por teléfono` al Cherokee Heights Middle School Escuela Intermedia de Cherokee Heights Spring 2012 - Primavera 2012 Cherokee Students Make Books for the Guinea Kids Education Fund For the second year, Cherokee seventh and eighth grade students from Ms. Blanchard’s and Ms. Kadakia’s classes created simple concept books to donate to the homework center of the Guinea Kids Education Fund. Ms. Kadakia delivered the books in person when she visited Guinea over winter break. The Guinea students were delighted with the unique, colorful books produced by their Wisconsin counterparts. Take a look at some of the books here: Set 1 http://snack.to/fun0g83c or Set 2 http://snack.to/fznqbfik. Guinea is a country in West Africa whose literacy rate is about 30% and many children are unable to afford school. The Guinea Kids Education Fund is an organization devoted to assisting and empowering the community by increasing the percentage of children attending and succeeding in school. Participating students receive funding for educational resources, school tuition, school supplies, uniforms, and shoes. For more information, see their website: http://guineakids.blogspot.com/ Seventh Grade Social Studies Classes Read to Feed Ms. Kadakia and Ms. Tangen’s seventh grade social studies classes spent most of second quarter studying how the world is interconnected. Students learned how overpopulation and environmental problems contribute to increased poverty, disease, and illiteracy around the world. One fact that astonished students was that 75 percent of the world’s population lives on less than two dollars per day. Throughout the unit, students were challenged to think of ways to change their own consumption habits to help alleviate some of these problems. Students also wanted to make real change right now for people living in poverty. The students decided to do a fundraiser for Heifer International. For more than sixty years, Heifer has helped more than four million impoverished families in 128 countries move away from poverty toward self-reliance. The goal was to raise money to buy gifts of livestock and training for struggling families who have few resources and need an ongoing source of income. Heifer is the gift that keeps on giving. Families who receive an animal promise to “pass on the gift” by giving the animal’s first offspring to another family in the village. Students asked their family and friends to pledge an amount of money for each minute they read over a one-month period. At the end of the month many students had read hundreds, even thousands, of minutes and collected what was due. Students raised over $1180 for livestock gifts! After weighing the costs and benefits of different types of animals, the students decided to buy sheep, goats, llamas, rabbits, and flocks of chickens and ducks. These gifts will provide a source of food, income, fertilizer, raw goods (e.g. wool), and most importantly, a ladder out of poverty, for families in need. Way to go Cherokee students and families!

The benefits of volunteering are helping out your school and bringing home some fresh produce as the season progresses. If you are interested in caring for the garden, please contact Jo Jensen at 204-1283 or through school email [email protected] . Many thanks to those who helped out last year!

Cherokee Heights Middle School Escuela Intermedia de Cherokee Heights Spring 2012 - Primavera 2012 Help Your Student Beat the Summer Reading Slump The summer reading slump is the deterioration of a student’s reading skills over the summer months. The slump and how to prevent it have been hot topics among reading experts. Not surprisingly, their studies suggest that less access to books and less time spent reading are factors in the loss of reading achievement during the months away from school. Harvard’s Dr. Jimmy S. Kim recommends that students read at least four to five books over the summer to maintain their end-of-the-school-year reading levels. There are several ways you can fight the slump: • Encourage your student to take time for reading. Like any skill, reading gets better with practice and rusty with disuse. • Model reading. Students who see adults reading on a regular basis tend to have higher reading scores than those who don’t. • Read together. My summer reading lists, out later this month, will include a section on books for families to enjoy together. The lists will also include some of the excellent recommendations made by students this year. • Become regular users of the public library! Madison Public Library and Fitchburg have great summer reading programs and volunteer opportunities for teens. Public libraries are free and have loads to offer in addition to books. • Share books with others. If you have high-interest books in good condition gathering dust at home, please consider donating them to our used books sale. Our goal is to make sure every student has books to read this summer. For more on the summer reading slump: http://www.uknow.gse.harvard.edu/teaching/TC321.html http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/summer-setback.html Submitted by Laura Holt, library media specialist Cherokee Heights Middle School Escuela Intermedia de Cherokee Heights Spring 2012 - Primavera 2012 In the LMC…. by Laura Holt Students have been busy with research and multimedia projects in third quarter. Topics of inquiry included ancient Rome, biographies, culture studies, the Holocaust, invertebrates, Mesopotamia, poetry, battles of the Revolutionary War, and women leaders. Project highlights included culture identity boxes and multimedia presentations based on The Outsiders. On March 21, forty students and several staff members converged on the LMC after school in high spirits for a Hunger Games party. Students were divided into districts and moved as teams through a series of trials, including the race to the Cornucopia, poison plant identification, Hunger Games trivia, and Nerf weapons challenges. The adults had as much fun as the students as we shared our appreciation for the most-talked about book—and most eagerly awaited movie—of the year. Staff and students collectively read over 1000 books during the Reach for the Stars Reading Challenge in March. At the spring assembly, they were treated to a star performance by our own Aretha Franklin (Mr. Porter), boppers Ms. Schmid and Ms. Uebersetzig, musicians Ms. Riley, Ms. Hanes, and Mr. Johnson, and a string of enthusiastic back-up dancers. We celebrated Poetry Month in April with a variety of activities, including a week of shout-outs in poetic form, a poetry scavenger hunt designed by Ms. Tangen and Ms. Jo Jensen, a poem-making wall created by Ms. Mietzel, and a Poem-inYour-Pocket contest encouraging students to share poems. One of the shout-outs, written in haiku form by Ms. Kamp, was dedicated to Cherokee’s passionate readers: Bibliophiles Books topple by bedside Characters slip from pages Invading our dreams Special events coming up in May: Visits from Jane Kelly, youth services librarian from Fitchburg Public Library, and a used book sale to raise money for the Guinea Students Education Fund Cherokee Heights Middle School Escuela Intermedia de Cherokee Heights Spring 2012 - Primavera 2012 Need a quiet place to study?
